This is a true garage find I ran across. It's a rare 1976 Ford Early Bronco Bicentennial 4x4 with the Ranger trim package. Powered by the a 302 V8, Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, Lockout hubs, Original hubcaps & wheels, Roll bar, Chrome trim package, Even the smog pump is still there and works!!! This Bronco was purchased new in Omaha Nebr., from Markle Ford that is still in business today. This is a One family owned bronco that the original owner passed away and was given to his brother who I purchased it from. I was going to keep this one for myself but have decided to finish the 1968 that I already started redoing.  I was told it was repainted back some time in the 80's. Very little rust for a bronco of this era. Mostly bubbling in spots but if you know these early broncos its expected. The Bronco runs & drives good but the tires are old & cracked. The dash pad is nice with no crack as is the seats & carpet that is just faded some over is life & dirty from long term storage. All the lights seem to work as does the gauges other than the temp gauge. Speedo works fine also. All the glass is good, the horn works, as do the wipers. The dual fuel tanks both seem to work but the fuel gauge works only part time. Good tight power steering & good brakes. You are looking at it just as I did when it was pulled from the garage. I did put some wax on the left front fender & the upper left door just to see how it would clean up. It looks like with a good detail you will have a very nice driver quality Bronco. It was lasted tagged in 1988. No major oil leaks, just seeping from age. I'm just going to offer it up as it sits before I have it detailed so everyone can see it as I purchased it. If you have questions call Mike at 402-362-7938. These Broncos are getting hard to find in this Original uncut condition. This one deserves a good home not to be made into a rock crawler or mud racer. Thanks for looking & HAPPY BIDDING!!!!

1976 was the second year for the unleaded fuel powered broncos so you don't have to worry about fuel issues. The exhaust still retains the cat also. I've already had several questions about a Buy it now price. I'm going to let everyone have a chance at owning this Bronco so the auction will go to the end unless I get an offer that will work for me and the new owner. If you want it you will need to bid or call me and make a good offer. I reserve to end the auction in case of the right offer comes in. Thanks, Mike.

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback

Tue, Jun 9 2015

The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:

Weekly Recap: GM posts solid profits, not looking for partners

Sat, Apr 25 2015

General Motors is not looking for partners. It's big enough already. So says CEO Mary Barra, who shot down overtures from outspoken Fiat-Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne this week. Barra said GM will look to find scale within its operations, rather than through outside partners. "We think there's tremendous opportunity for us within the business as we look at efficiency measures, as we look at truly achieving the scale that we should have, because we're already in that top tier of the auto industry among the largest OEMs," she said. Barra added: "We have a very well-articulated plan. We're in the middle of executing that, and we're not going to entertain anything that might distract us from accomplishing that." Her remarks came in the wake of Marchionne's provocative comments in March. He expects a wave of industry consolidation and said he's open to teaming with Ford or GM, calling it "technically feasible." Because of its smaller size, FCA would likely stand to gain more from a partnership than GM or Ford. The Blue Oval isn't interested in teaming with Fiat-Chrysler, either. "We have no other plan or interest then to continue to accelerate our One Ford plan, deliver product excellence and drive innovation in every part of our business," a spokesperson said. GM, the largest US automaker, announced a $945-million first-quarter profit on Thursday and posted its best earnings performance in North America since 2009. Earlier in the week, GM confirmed it had sold 2.4 million vehicles around the world in the quarter, ranking behind Toyota (2.52 million) and Volkswagen (2.49 million). Other News & Notes SUVs, EVs shine at Shanghai Motor Show SUVs and electric vehicles grabbed the spotlight at the Shanghai Motor Show this week as companies vied for attention in the world's largest car market. Notably, Honda's Concept D previewed the company's future flagship SUV that's being developed for China, Mercedes rolled out a BMW X4-fighting GLC Coupe concept and Chinese company Qoros debuted its 2 plug-in SUV concept. Nissan, Volvo and several others also showcased utility vehicles in Shanghai. Automakers are rushing to take advantage of the crossover craze in China. The market for locally-produced SUVs grew 50 percent in the first quarter, according to IHS Automotive research, which called the show a "launch pad" for new utility vehicles. Even though SUVs are popular, IHS predicts their growth rate will slow, and sedans account for more sales volume in China.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
