1970 Ford Bronco: Amazing survivor, Rust Free, 302 V8, Factory build sheet (the original) and a great story.
I am a Ford dealer that restores Broncos and Land Cruisers—I’m constantly on the hunt for either an all original restoration project or a resto-mod project. This Bronco is neither—I purchased it from a gentleman in Jacksonville, Fl., thinking it couldn’t be as nice as it looked in the pictures and would be a good project for me—I was wrong. He purchased it from the grandson of the original owner. I would love to know the full story of the original owner and how he came to own and preserve this 1970 Bronco. I have yet to be able to make contact with the grandson. But this is what I do know. The miles, at 33,648 are original, and that fact is obvious. There is no rust other than minor (very minor) surface rust on under-body components. This is the original color and much of the paint is original paint. This Bronco model had the bench seat (seating 3) and a bulkhead behind the seat (with spare tire and wheel attached) with a full bed behind that. I pulled out the spare for the photos. When I purchased the Bronco, the bed, the interior side-walls and rear inner-fenders were covered with a foam-backed carpet, which I removed, revealing a pristine, un-dented bed. The top appears to have never been removed. From what I was told, the owner was either a professional or amateur gemologist. He used the vehicle to engage in his hobby. I was also told this took place in Montana, Wyoming, or thereabouts. The owner knew how to protect his vehicle from rock and water damage—he strategically placed sheets of metal over the inner fenders, against the frame and anywhere else rocks, salt, etc could get to his precious Bronco. IT WORKED. I have left the metal in place so that the next owner can see it, but it is easily removed with a straight screwdriver. All I had to do to get this Bronco in top shape was to replace leaking axle seals, replace the brake shoes and replace the gas tanks (yes, it does have the dual tank option). The engine runs very well with no smoke, hot or cold. It rides and drives like it did when new. The clutch engages exactly the way it is supposed to and the column shifter is silky smooth. The dash, the seat (original vinyl), inside the glove box, the headliner, the floor mat, under the seat, under the hood---all like a time capsule. The only interior modifications are a small hole drilled in the center of the dash and a grab handle installed beside the glove box. There is an OEM trailer hitch installed on the rear bumper and was probably done so when the owner purchased it new (it uses the factory bumper bolt). If you want a Bronco to restore, don’t buy this one. To restore it would be to ruin it. If you want one to drive, enjoy, show in a car show and get thumbs up from every gray-hair you encounter—buy this Bronco. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at my dealership at 423-639-5151 and leave a message. I will call you back. Or, send your questions or inquiries to Lennie@gatewayfordmazda.com. |

Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Ford adding second supplier for F-150 frames
Mon, Aug 10 2015Metalsa, the company that builds steel frames for the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, is still having trouble providing enough frames to supply the two factories that build the pickup. The snafu is preventing Ford from selling as many of the country's best-selling truck as it could, and eating into profits - even though the bottom line is still breaking company records. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ford has picked Michigan company Tower International as a second frame supplier and expects to have inventory up to a proper level at the beginning of Q4 of this year. Neither Ford nor Tower would confirm the development - Automotive News got comments from a source and pieced together bits of info from Tower's financial statements and local press reports. Tower currently builds body structures for several vehicles, including the F-series, and the Bellevue, Ohio factory that will build F-150 frames previously manufactured frames for the Ranger and Econoline. According to a story in the local Sandusky Register, Tower will add one production line at the end of next month to begin shipping frames in October, and another line in April 2016. Something like 138 full-time workers and 364 robots are expected to carry out the work. Tower's most recent financial statement said that capital investment will be necessary to get everything set up, but the contract will be worth $140 million in yearly revenue.
Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
