You are viewing a rare 1976 original uncut Ford Bronco. I bought this Bronco 5 years ago from the second owner in Western Pennsylvania. It sat in his garage/barn and rarely used. I tried to buy it for years and to make a long story short...I got it. I'm now entertaining the idea of selling it but not thrilled about it. Job is relocating us to Virginia and I have been paying tons of money to keep this bronco indoors while my time in NYC. When I purchased the Bronco, I had the fuel lines and rear/main tank system removed and replaced. All new brakes disc and drum. Motor completely gone through and replaced most if not all seals/gaskets. New tires, shocks, struts, and dual pipes. Motor valve covers repainted to original ford blue. The Bronco runs great, drives great, steers awesome (power steering) and looks cool. Lot's of attention no doubt. To bring this Bronco to the next level, body work/paint (back to the special decor group package would be my suggestion) new original seat covers, new auxiliary tank, and determine small oil leak. All this was and still is my plan if she does not find a new home. Rust repair will be needed at some point under the driver door. Not visible until you look underneath. This is an original 1976 Bronco so please be aware that there are possibilities of rust and etc. The paint is not that great...the second owner tells me that the original owner sprayed over the original blue and white strips (Special Decor Group Package) which is a complete shame. You can visibly still see the cool white strips when you open the hood and door jambs. The current paint is decent in pictures and 10 feet away but if you are looking for something above that, then please understand this is not it. I personally have enjoyed this Bronco as is for the last 5 years and hate to part with it but the move, wife, and child....well lets just say it's not priority right now. I will regret it later, especially if someone restores her back to the white stripe Special Decor Group. I encourage you to research this rare option. As for price, please do not offer me some ridiculous low price. If you are in the market for a rare uncut original 1976 Bronco then you already know they are not cheap. I'm in no rush to sell it and it will be sold to the highest bidder. Will not sell before end of auction. I will absolutely assist with any pick up for this Bronco and accommodate any requests to view it. Good luck...

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.

eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is showroom fresh

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

There's an ultra-rare Ford Thunderbird for sale on eBay, although it's not quite the T-Bird you're probably thinking. This is a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, complete with a five-speed manual transmission and just a shade over 13,000 miles on the clock. The condition is said to be mint, and judging by the interior and exterior pictures, we're inclined to believe the seller. The paint is glossy and the interior looks showroom new, while the underbody is stunningly clean for a 36-year-old car.
Underhood sits a 2.3-liter, intercooled and turbocharged four-cylinder (also found in the Mustang SVO) that was producing 190 horsepower when it left the factory. Inside, the five-speed manual transmission adds to the car's rarity. The vehicle's sole owner has been as immaculate with the paperwork as he has with the rest of the car - it's all there, including brochures and other product material.
The eBay auction ends tomorrow at midnight (9:00 PM if you're on America's west coast). Bidding has reached $10,200, and there's still plenty of time to get in on this future classic. The vehicle is located in Millstone Township, NJ.

GM being sued over imploding Bosch fuel pumps in Duramax diesel trucks

Fri, Aug 9 2019

Texas-based law firm Hilliard Martinez Gonzalez (HMG) this week filed a class-action lawsuit against General Motors over an alleged issue with Bosch CP4 fuel pumps. The suit claims Bosch designed the CP4 pump to work with European diesel fuel, which is thicker than U.S. diesel. When GM installed that pump in the 6.6-liter Duramax engine used from the 2011 to 2016 model years, the lawsuit claims the thinner U.S. fuel didn't provide enough lubrication, allowing air pockets to form in the fuel pump. That, in turn, allegedly let metal rub against metal inside the pump, causing the pump to eventually disintegrate and "send thousands of metal shards into the fuel injection system and every part of the engine." The Detroit News reported on the most recent lawsuit filed in Michigan's Eastern District Court, but the case is another piece of nationwide legal maneuvering going on since at least last September. Every U.S. truck maker used the Bosch CP4 fuel pump, and HMG originally went after all of them, as well as Bosch. On September 30, 2018, HMG filed a class-action suit in Texas on behalf of eight plaintiffs. The law firm wanted to prosecute the affair under RICO — the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — and named 10 defendants: FCA US LLC, FCA North America Holdings, LLC, F/K/A Chrysler Group, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, N.V., Ford Motor Company, General Motors LLC, Robert Bosch GmbH, Robert Bosch LLC, VM North America, Inc., and VM Motori S.P.A.  The firm filed another suit in Florida on Nov. 2, 2018, against the same 10 defendants, again under the RICO statute, this time on behalf of more than 30 plaintiffs. We don't know how many other suits might have been filed, but the two suits mentioned apparently didn't have legs — the courts dismissed both quickly. So HMG shifted its strategy away from the RICO angle, and focused its efforts on GM, filing suit in California on Nov. 20, 2018. Instead of trying to catch 10 fish with a small net, HMG wants to score one fish with a big net. The results have borne more promise for the plaintiffs. In July this year, a judge in California denied GM's motion to dismiss, noting "the alleged defect is central to the vehicleÂ’s function." This latest suit filed on Aug. 6 in Detroit singles out GM again.  The Bosch CP4 is known to be problematic, however.
