      Regretfully I am selling my 1978 Bronco.  Due to the recent sequester I will not be getting paid on a crop insurance policy I purchased through USDA soon enough to pay some bills or possibly at all so I have to sell this Bronco immediately.  I just bought this Bronco back from a friend in November.  I had bought it from the original owner in 1997 when I was 20 years old. It was my daily driver for a year and I loved it.  In 1998 I sold it because I needed a pickup to work out of.  I sold it to a family friend and fellow Ford enthusiast.  He took excellent care of it only putting about 500 miles on it in 14 years.
     All the time he owned it I always told him that if he decided to sell it I wanted it back.  Last spring after sitting for quite a while he discovered that the engine had become seized for some reason.  He purchased a nicely rebuilt 400 from a mutual friend who is a professional mechanic and they installed it.  The engine was properly installed and broke in right with zinc added to the oil and primed.  It also received a new gas tank and lines as well as new power steering pump and master cylinder.  The radiator was flushed and belts were changed.  It also had brand new tires put on the factory painted wheels not long before I got it.  It now has approximately 1500 miles on the new parts and engine and runs and drives excellent.
     At the time of this listing it is back in the shop getting the air conditioning serviced and recharged as it had not been done yet from the engine swap.  Also the rear window electric motor is being replaced with a new one because it is a little slow.  When it leaves the shop the only thing not working will be the cruise control which is all there but won't engage, maybe the buyer can figure it out.  This Bronco is very close to original condition and is in good overall condition.  To my knowledge there was never any rust repair done and the only known rust is a small spot on the bottom of the tailgate caused by a leaky rear window seal that has since been replaced.  I tried to photograph it as best I could.
     For a 35-year-old vehicle it is in great shape but it is not perfect.  It is however an honest Bronco that has not been messed with much and is 99% rust free.  In fact, it still has an 8-track player in it!  This Bronco would make an easy restoration project or a good driver. The paint is cracked and front seats are torn but the dash pad is perfect. These Freewheeling package Broncos are getting harder to find.  I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere.  I have tried to be as honest as possible in describing it and will be happy to answer questions.  I will be happy to work with the shipper you choose.  If not for finances I would not be selling it.  I am not at a computer very often so it is best to call me at 6202711216 or my wife at 6206408414. 
     I would like $500 within 24 hrs of the auction ending and payment in full within 7 days.  Thanks for looking!

Trump takes potshots at Ford in Flint

Wed, Aug 12 2015

Doubling down on his general dislike of everything south of the Rio Grande, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump took aim at local favorite Ford during his first campaign visit to Michigan yesterday. "Ford is building a $2.5 billion plant in Mexico," Trump told a standing-room-only crowd in Birch Run, MI, yesterday evening. "I'll actually give them a good idea. Why don't we just let the illegals drive the cars and trucks right into our country?" This is not the first time real estate mogul turned reality TV star has whined about Ford's Mexican factory plans. Previously, he promised that if he were elected, he'd levy a 35-percent tax against Mexican-built Fords. Then, as he has here, Trump failed to address other automakers selling Mexican-built vehicles in the US, including Detroit-based General Motors as well as foreign brands like Volkswagen, Nissan, and Toyota. "I would say, the deal is not going to be approved, I won't allow it. I want that plant in the United States, preferably here," Trump said, with Bloomberg reporting his comments were meant with chants of "USA." Ford announced the $2.5-billion Mexican investment in April, saying it'd build two factories to produce transmissions and engines. In response to Trump's criticism of the deal, the Dearborn-based automaker was quick to point out that it hasn't exactly been stingy about building its business here in the US. "We are committed to leveraging our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to invest where it makes the best sense for our business," Ford spokesman Karl Henkel told Bloomberg. "We are proud that we have invested $6.2 billion in our US plants since 2011 and hired nearly 25,000 US employees." Related Video:

Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.
