HERE WE GO WITH YET ANOTHER GREAT LITTLE 1976 BRONK. WE DID A YOU TUBE MOVIE TITLED  76 BRONCO EM2"BIG BLUE" THIS ONE WAS OWNED BY THE SAME FASTIDIOUS OWNER FOR OVER 22 YEARS. GARAGE KEPT MOST OF IT'S EXISTENCE. THERE ARE NO RUSTED PANELS ON THIS BRONCO....PERIOD! WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A BODY THIS RUST FREE ON AN EARLY FORD BRONCO. EVEN THE INNER FENDERS ARE SPORTING ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINT!!. WOW. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT BRONKS FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS AND HAVE YET TO FIND AN UNRESTORED BRONCO THIS RUST FREE AND MECHANICALLY SOUND. WE HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR THE NEW LONG BLOCK THAT HAS AROUND 2800 MILES ON IT SINCE INSTALLATION. THE TRANS IS PERFECT AND THE TRANSFER CASE AND DIFFERENTIALS ARE NOISELESS IN 2 OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE ENTIRE BRONCO OPERATES AS FORD INTENDED KEEPING IN MIND TECHNOLOGY FROM 1976. LOL
                              THE NEW MOTOR(LONG BLOCK) WAS FITTED WITH AN EDELBROCK 1406 4 BARREL, ALUMINUM DUAL PLANE HIGH RISE INTAKE, HEADERS, DURASPARK IGNITION, NEW WATER PUMP, BELTS, N HOSES. THE RADIATOR IS FLUSHED AND GOOD TO -50. THE BRONCO RUNS DOWN THE ROAD AT 180 DEGREES AND 65 LBS OIL PRESSURE. THERE ARE ZERO LEAKS ON THE SHOP FLOOR! THE BRAKES ARE NEW 11" REAR DRUM AND IN 1976 THEY USED THE BIG DANA 44 AND  FORD TRUCK DISC BRAKES. THE BRONK STOPS RIGHT NOW! THE STEERING IS THE QUICKER RATIO FORD IN 1976. BOTH FUEL TANKS WORK AS DESIGNED AND THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS. EVERYHTHING IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICALLY EXCEPT THE BACKUP LIGHTS. THEY DO NOT HAVE A SWITCH ON THE 4 SPEED AND THE LINKAGE IS INTEGRAL. THE REST IS EXCEPTIONAL. THIS BRONCO STARTS IMMEDIATELY, RUNS VERY WELL, HAS A NEW CENTERFORCE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND NEEDS NOTHING!! THE EXHAUST IS DUAL FLOWMASTER WITH TWIN CATS AND CROSSOVER. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. IF I WERE TO KEEP A BRONK FOR MYSELF THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE ONE.  AFTER I GET A FEW MORE MUSCLE CARS OUT OF THE CORRAL I WILL BREAK A BRONK FOR MYSELF. IT'S GONNA BE WILD FOLKS!

THE PASSENGER SEAT ALSO SLIDES A LONG WAY FOR TALL OR SHORT PASSENGERS.
THE INTERIOR IS FULLY RHINO LINED OVER EXCEPTIONAL FACTORY RUST FREE FLOOR PANS. THE DASH PAD IS A 67 STRAIGHT PAD VS. A STOCK 76 THAT WOULD HAVE A PORTION JUTTING OUT INTO THE PASSENGER AREA. I LIKE THE STRAIGHT ONE BETTER.
THERE ARE A GAZILLION GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS BRONK AND A FEW BAD THINGS.WHEN WE TOOK THE ORIGINAL DOOR PANELS OFF, WE LUBRICATED THE GLASS REGULATORS AND WERE ASTONISHED THAT THE WINDOW HAD NEVER BEEN WORKED ON AND IS AS SMOOTH AS BUTTER. EVEN THE FACTORY SOUND PROOFING PAPER WAS INTACT. I CAN FIND NONE BETTER THAN THIS REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE RESTORED OR NOT.

FOR THE BAD:  BIG BLUE IS NOT A SHOW RIG YET, IT NEEDS A PAINT JOB AND SOME VERY MINOR BODY WORK ON THE PASSENGER REAR QUARTER NEAR THE MARKER LIGHT. IT DOES NOT NEED ANY RUST REPAIR ,PERIOD!!  THE PAINT IS 23 + YEARS OLD.IT ALSO HAS NO BACKUP LIGHT SWITCH. THE TIRES ARE NOT NEW BUT HAVE TONS OF TREAD YET AND SHOW NO CRACKING ON THE SIDEWALLS SO THEY ARE KEEPERS FOR NOW. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL 3/8" ANTENNA HOLE ON THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER FENDER WHERE AN ANTENNA WAS AT ONE TIME AND A GROUP OF THREE PLUGGED HOLES(APPRENTICE PLUGS) AT THE REAR QUARTER EXTENSIONS WHERE A DIFFERENT RACK WAS INSTALLED YEARS AGO. ALL IN ALL A SUPER START ON A 40 K BRONK THAT I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE TO NY AND BACK IN ANY SEASON....JUST ADD PAINT! A NEW  BLACK BEST TOP SOFT TOP CAN BE INSTALLED IN LIEU OF THE HARDTOP AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO BUYER AND WE KEEP THE HARD TOP.IF THE BUYER WANTS BOTH TOPS ADD $750.00..

THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. I RECOMMEND A PERSONAL INSPECTION BY THE BUYER OR A TRUSTED MECHANIC PRIOR TO PURCHASE. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR INSPECTION . I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO DESCRIBE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A MOST EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY FORD BRONCO THAT IS MECHANICALLY AWESOME AND COSMETICALLY CHALLENGED. THIS IS A BRONK YOU CAN RIDE HARD AND PUT AWAY WET AND IT WILL STILL LICK YOUR FACE THE NEXT MORNING READY FOR ANOTHER DAY!

Ford nets $924M in first quarter

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Where General Motors' first-quarter 2015 financials showed growth in many major metrics, Ford's newly released numbers had falling figures in most of the vital categories. The automaker's Q1 revenue shrank to $33.9 billion, down $2 billion, and net income fell to $924 million, a $65-million drop. However, pre-tax profits increased slightly to $1.4 billion, $24 million more than in the same period in 2014, and operating margin rose to 3.6 percent, up 0.2 percent. Despite the less-than-stellar numbers, the Blue Oval thinks 2015 should be positive for the company. "The first quarter was a good start to a year in which our results will grow progressively stronger as the new products we have been launching start to pay off," CEO Mark Fields said in the financial announcement. The automaker has 15 vehicles to launch globally this year, and only three of them are already out. By the end of 2015, Ford predicts pre-tax profits of between $8.5 billion and $9.5 billion. In terms of vehicle sales, Ford slipped by 21,000 to a total of 1.568 million worldwide in the first quarter. North American sales dropped to 678,000, which was 39,000 less than last year, and pre-tax profits fell to $1.34 billion, a $160-million fall. The company explained the reductions on this continent as linked to the launches of the latest F-150 and Edge. In other major markets, European wholesales grew to 376,000 vehicles, a 9,000-car boost from last year. Pre-tax results there increased by $9 million, but the area still showed an overall loss of $185 million. In the Asia Pacific region, Ford moved 16,000 more units than in Q1 2014 to reach 366,000. However, due in part to preparing for new vehicles, the company only made $103 million there, a $188-million drop. The automaker released all of these figures as part of a PDF, which you can download here. Related Video:
