1974 Ford Bronco
Background:
This truck was purchased by my father and myself around 2004 out of North Carolina. We started restoring from the ground up and finished it around 2007. It is essentially a frame up restoration, except we did not strip the frame because it was already in great shape. In 2011 the title was switched over to my name and I have been using it as a daily driver since. It has always been kept under cover, except for the last 2-years.
Modifications/Accessories:
- 302 motor built by Lloyd McCleary. Lloyd has been featured in many Hot Rod Magazines and was famous for his Nascar motors. He has since gone out of business (not due to the quality of his work), but we were lucky enough to get one of his motors prior to their closing.
- Ported and polished
- all performance part
- aluminum heads
- roller rockers
- Edelbrock carb
- MSD Ignition system
- Edelbrock RPM Air Gap Chrome intake manifold
- I watched this engine turn out 460 HP on the dyno when we went to pick it up from Lloyd.
- recently had the top end re-done with all high end parts and reusable racing gaskets
- all new light plastic and trim
- white soft-top
- white bikini top (not shown in pictures
- door inserts (not shown in pictures) painted to match
- 3.5" Wild Horses Suspension Lift
- new chrome bumpers
- front bumper is starting to loose some chrome plating
- wired for in dash-stereo (unfortunately there is not one currently installed)
- 6x9 marine grade speakers in Tuffy speaker boxes
- Tuffy lock box/tool box behind back seat (not shown in photos)
- Duff brand floor shifter for factory 3-spd transmission
- brushed aluminum trim for door panels, dash, shifters, etc.
- Duff brand "twin-stick" shifter for 4x4 (makes life easy)
- Front disk brakes
- power stearing
- Warn locking hubs
- tachometer
- and so much more..... too much to list
Comments:
The paint job is incredible. There is a very small amount of rust at the bottom of the driver door. This rust accumulated when I had the doors in storage (I had the door inserts installed at the time). It has not been repaired but is completely unnoticeable unless you know where to look. I have included a picture of this.
There is a very small dent in the hood. I included a picture. This small dent happened when a mechanic left something on the wheel well and closed the hood. the dent sticks upwards. It is an easy-cheap repair.
This Bronco has tons of power and looks awesome! Whoever gets this will have a very nice Bronco that turn heads constantly!
The rims are starting to develop some rust inside the dish of the chrome rim.
The tires are worn. Buyer will need to equip with new tires.
Lastly, the speedometer has recently stopped working. all other gages work in the cluster (fuel, temp, oil pressure, alt charge)
Thank you for looking and goo luck!

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]
Fri, 30 May 2014Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
Ford will lay off 700 employees in Michigan
Fri, Apr 24 2015Lagging sales of compact and electric cars are starting to take their toll on automakers. Ford said Thursday it intends to lay off 700 employees who work at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, over the next five months. The plant makes Ford Focus and C-Max vehicles. Sales of both have stalled in recent months. The layoffs affect 675 hourly and 25 salaries employees, and will begin in late June and continue through September, according to paperwork filed with state officials. The company expects to re-hire the affected employees elsewhere and use them on temporary basis throughout the summer. Ford spokesperson Kristina Adamski said the affected employees will be "first in line" for other jobs at nearby plants, and UAW vice president Jimmy Settles said he expected all would be re-hired at other southeast Michigan factories by "early 2016." Although industry sales have remained high overall, the growth has come from SUVs and pickup trucks. Conversely, compact cars and alternate-powered vehicles like the C-Max have struggled to find customers amid cheap gasoline prices. Focus monthly sales fell 14.5 percent year over year in March, and C-Max monthly sales dropped 22.9 percent over the same period. It was less than three years ago that Ford hailed the Michigan Assembly Plant as a model for its future, one that would quickly adapt to market conditions through a more flexible assembly process. The plant was retrofitted at a cost of $550 million so that the same assembly line could install electric, plug-in hybrid or gasoline powertrains. Ford produces the Focus, Focus ST, Focus Electric, C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi here. At the time, company officials said the flexible line was a way to "not be trapped with dedicated one-trick-pony plants where you have under-capacity or over-capacity situations," said Jim Tetreault, Ford's vice president of North American manufacturing, in November 2012. But that's exactly where Ford finds itself as consumers have turned away from both compact and gas-sipping hybrids and electrics as gas prices have fallen to a national average of $2.49 per gallon, according to Thursday's AAA Fuel Gauge Report. One year ago, gas prices averaged $3.70 per gallon. In perhaps a melancholy twist, the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator that were phased out at Michigan Assembly by the retrofit are once again the types of vehicles that are sought after by consumers.
