1988 Bronco II 2WD– V6 2.9L EFI with a 5-speed Over Drive Manual Transmission. This is not your normal 1988 vehicle. We are the original owners so we know what has happened with this truck since the day we picked it up with 23 miles on the odometer. We ran the factory oil for the first 2K miles then changed to Mobile 1 Synthetic and have changed the oil every 3K since using Mobile 1. Currently there are 209K miles on the original engine. The 5-speed OD tranny had to have a couple gears replaced about 20K miles ago as they were howling. Even though the clutch was still serviceable we replaced the disc and pressure plate as a preventive measure. The tires have less than 2K miles on them and it has aluminum wheels. This truck has never been driven in a Michigan or other snowy state’s winter. It was repainted in 2012 to a near factory color and it has Ghost Flames. When it was repainted the following was replaced: Door Seals, Window Seals, Marker Lights, Taillight/Brake Light Assemblies, Carpet (sound deadening insulation installed), Front Seat Belt Assemblies, Windshield and trim, Bumpers, Grille and Insert, Ford Emblems, Mirrors, Door Handles, and anything that was not replaced was repainted to look new. As you can see by the plates the Bronco is registered in Alaska but that is only because we are military and that is where we last registered it. The Bronco has never been to Alaska and has been in storage\restoration with family in Michigan since 2007. We were home last year for vacation and drove the Bronco all over Michigan for two weeks with no issues, including a trip up north @75MPH. This is a 26 year old vehicle but has been well cared for. It may not handle/drive like your 2013 Escape, Explorer or F-150 but definitely turns heads when you cruise down the road and is fun to drive.

First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
