Up for bidding is my 1969 FORD Bronco. This Bronco is very nice. Based on everything I am told, she has a lot of the very desired options that early Bronco enthusiasts want in there rigs. Outside of being very clean and non rusty she looks nice to. I will describe this Bronco to the best of my ability and give you a good idea of its condition. 

To start off with she is a V8 Bronco with a strong running 302. My mechanic describes this motor as one that will last a lifetime if properly taken care of. He did some work on her lately (oil change etc) and did a compression check for me. His findings he indicated were very good with compression running 131 in all cylinders but one which was 128...He stated that such a minimal difference in cylinders is very good for the motor. The motor has a AFB 4bbl carter carburetor that seems to do ok with the motor. I know that when I go to start the truck after sitting for a month, that it fires right over without hesitation. 

Next, she comes with a rebuilt C4 Automatic Transmission. This tranny drives very smooth with some good shift or kick in it when you drive it. Drives as if it has a shift kit in it. The builder of the tranny did not indicate whether or not that it had one, but this guy has been doing ford transmissions for 30 years and knows his stuff. 

Next option is Power steering. The power steering works very well with no hesitation and noises. The hoses etc are in good shape with no leaks. Turns the vehicle very easily. 

 

This Bronco came stock with Power Disc Brakes. They work very well for the vehicle with no issues to note. Booster and brakes works well for the truck.

Next this Bronco has DANA 44 FRONT AXLE. Axle does well when engaged with no noises to speak of. U joints etc are good with no leaks.

Adding to the list this Bronco has a 79 Bronco Tilt Steering Column. I had this column installed because my bronco friends told me that this was the column to put in because of the ease of installation for electrical etc. The column works well with all lighting etc working. 

Next this Bronco comes with a wild horses 4" Inch Suspension Lift. This lift makes the Bronco ride very nice without being to stiff. It is very solid. To ad to the lift this Bronco has Brand New 33-12.50/15 Tires on it. The tires have about 20 miles on them with misc. runs to the store and one 2 hr 4wd session on them...All the nobby's are still on the tires.  Wheels are nice wide chrome wheels. THEY ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.

This Bronco also comes equipped with Electric Wipers.   My last bronco I had years ago had the old vacuum wipers. These are sure nice to have. They work good.

To round out the description of options etc I will just list them. The whole interior of the truck is carpeted. The carpet is in good shape. There are patch areas where the floor tunnel was repaired at awhile back. My understanding is this is very common due to changes in shifters etc. Carpet looks very good in truck. This truck also has lots of new weather stripping which make the doors stick out abit. The doors are getting better as the weather stripping compresses more. This truck also has Dual exhaust which sounds good. Next it also has a factory roof/luggage rack on the top which to me makes the top look cool. It also comes with jeep wrangler seats which are cool in the truck and the back seat folds up for more space in the rear area. Added to the interior is a custom overhead console that houses overhead infinity speakers. and all the switches for interior lighting and exterior fog lights. The speakers sound very nice up in the area above your head. Stereo system is nice and has six speakers(all Bose or Infinity) in the rear, middle and front. The truck is wired for amps but I never installed any because the system sounds good as is. And I don't drive it enough to warrant the expense The vehicle also has 2 power outlets installed for IPODS or ???. The dash has some up to date gauges for oil pressure and engine temperature.  There is one in the back and one in the front. Oil pressure usually runs well over 40 PSI and the temperature averages between 180 and 190 routinely. It has never overheated or had an issue. Rounding out the options, it has tube bumpers with fog lights on the front.        

 Overall, this truck is very nice. It comes with lots of desire options, Body work and paint are very nice and I would describe her as a good 5 footer. The paint is in very nice shape with lots of good quality shine to it.. There is the random dimple here and there as this is not a show truck. It is a 4wd truck. All of the trim is original to the truck and is in good driver quality. One of my bronco Buddies believes that this is a "sport: model bronco. I don't know the difference so you experts out there can be the judge of that.  The most important thing on this truck is that there is no rust on it. Rockers, floors, firewall all look to be in great condition. I will provide pics for anyone who needs to see more detailed undercarriage etc. 

No real negative things to say about the truck. All my friends tell me to fuel inject it etc to make the engine more up to date, but it is solid the way it is. The sad part of it is that the truck has sat for very long periods of time as we rarely use it. My wife likes more of a "modern" or up to date vehicle and is not really into the classics. So it just sits for the most part. The new owner will no doubt drive it more and work out any of the kinks that she might have. We just don't drive it enough to know the truck inside and out.  Please look at pics very carefully as you will see that this is a very clean rig. I rarely see the occasional oil spot on the floor and sometimes a radiator drip or two. The undercarriage is exceptionally clean. No oil at all. If you need any pics of any part of the truck, please feel free to ask. I am not a big bronco expert or anything so I have described this truck honestly and to the best of my ability. I know that whoever gets this truck will love it and enjoy it for years.    

Vehicle is listed locally and nationally for sale. Buyers reserves the right to sell prior to ebay listing closing. I will be posting more pics.

A few errors that I noticed...For some reason this is the only text I can change or ad. The power outlets are located one in the front and back. Not the gauges. I have had many questions and comments come in on the vehicle already. I will answer all as time permits. Thank you for the interest in this Bronco. Sorry for any spelling or grammar errors.


On Mar-12-14 at 01:31:27 PDT, seller added the following information:

More revisions...Because I think of things after the fact. All buyers with low feedback, no feedback, or negative feedback. Please contact me before bidding. Please I ask that no "non paying" bidders bid on this nice bronco. It is a waste of time for everybody. As usual, please be prepared to make a 500.00 deposit within 24 hrs of the close of the auction. Please be prepared to pay in full the amount within 5 days of close. I am a reasonable person and will work with people. As stated earlier, Any pics that you need, please fell free to just ask. If there is a way to post video of the bronco, I will do so in the next few days. Once again, thanks for looking at this good example of a classic bronco.

Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.

Which of these high-powered pickup classics would you choose?

Fri, Apr 17 2020

High-performance pickups would appear to be having a moment on the auction site Bring a Trailer, with two tempting examples up for auction right now: a 1971 Ford Ranchero GT and a 1991 GMC Syclone. These trucks are a generation apart, but they each represent the peak muscle truck of their time. The Ranchero, of course, was Ford's car-based pickup, and Ford took advantage of its Torino roots by offering the same ultra-high-performance 429 Cobra Jet V8 in the Ranchero as it did in the Torino-branded coupes and convertibles. The 429 V8 in this truck is said to be numbers-matching, and it looks the business topped with an air scoop poking through the hood. It's paired with a three-speed automatic and a limited slip differential, reportedly one of only 82 1971-model Rancheros with this powertrain combo. As a Ranchero GT, this example sports hidden headlights, and the dual sport mirrors and vinyl top further establish its kinship with its passenger-car siblings. A set of factory Magnum 500 wheels and a respray in the original red add to the muscle-truck vibe. Two decades later, car-based pickups were dead, so when GMC decided to revive the muscle-truck genre it did so with the mid-size Sonoma. The resulting Syclone put a more modern spin on the fast-pickup idea (and on the spelling of "cyclone"). This hi-po hauler uses a 4.3-liter V6 topped with a Mitsubishi turbocharger that helped it make 280 horsepower. It's mated to a floor-shifted four-speed automatic and a Borg-Warner all-wheel-drive system with a 35/65 torque split. The Syclone was a one-year-only model, of which just under 3,000 were built. All were black with matching cloth seats with red accents. The only other '71 Ranchero to appear on BaT was a non-original GT with a 351ci V8 that was a no-sale at $7,900. This Ranchero is already nearly double that figure. Of the four previously Syclones that have crossed BaT's virtual auction block, two have sold, for $36,000 and $50,000, but both had lower miles than this truck. At this writing, these two trucks are neck-and-neck, both in the mid teens with both auctions set to end April 23. Which powerhouse pickup makes you want to put your money down?
