You are bidding on a beautiful 1967 early bronco with the legendary 289 mated up to a Ford AOD 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission that has undergone a restoration within the past year. Some items covered in this restoration were engine and suspension work, metal work, new paint and various other odds and ends that will be described in the next few paragraphs. Included with the sale is a 1967 Bronco specific shop manual as well as receipts that date back to 2007 spanning 3 owners. I purchased this vehicle back in November of 2012, the odometer at the time of purchase
was 62,954 although I suspect it has rolled over. Ive put 5400 miles myself since having
the gauge cluster rebuilt. In 2011, at
approximately 57,000 miles the previous owner had the engine rebuilt and added a few power options to include; 351 cam,
roller rockers, installed new edelbrock performer intake and 1403 electric
choke carburetor, headers, starter, spark plugs and wires, air cleaner,
etc. New 3.5 inch lift and extended
radius arms, as well as new rebuild kits for the axles and new gaskets for the
differentials. Installed a used AOD with
an advance adapter kit. New gas tank with sender. Class 2 hitch. Stainless steel quick release door hinges. Floor and rust
repair and upgraded front Chevy disc brakes, 15 inch black daytona wheels with 33x12.5 Toyo MT open country, to name a few. When I picked up the Bronco back in 2012 it was having transmission and electrical problems. Transmission issues were due to a cracked case and an incorrect rebuild which caused the trans to slip at low rpms and shift hard at high rpms. I spent $2700 to find and rebuild a whole new AOD case over at Advance Automatics in El Cajon, CA. The day I got the Bronco back with the fresh trans I took it for a drive only to have it break down on me as a bundle of wires caught fire under the dashboard. That's when I decided to build my own harness keeping only a few of the stock wires that were untouched. About 90% of the wires from the firewall forward are new. What started as a simple daily driver build turned into a continued restoration. Since ive owned the Bronco here is a short list of work ive done, any work outsourced was performed at Advance automatics or Beach city broncos in El Cajon. All parts purchased were from well known vendors such as; Wild Horses, LMC truck, BC broncos, James Duff, CJ pony parts, Jegs, Summit, Oreillys, etc... Within past year: Various door, tailgate, hood gasket sets and seals Rebuilt carburetor Rebuilt AOD transmission with correct advance adapter
case. $2700.00 - case and rebuild / $634.00 Advance adapter kit New flow kooler water pump and robert shaw high flow thermostat New old stock timing cover with gasket New power steering pump, pulley, belt, and hoses New 1 wire alternator New old stock fan shroud New fuel filter and hoses New spark plugs New upper and lower radiator hoses with lower anti-compression spring New vacuum hoses, PCV valve Rebuilt distributor, installed pertronix II electronic ignition Flamethrower II coil New H4 headlamps, wire harness fused and relayed New horn Most wires under dash replaced Rebuilt gauge cluster Installed Autometer water temp gauge Installed but not wired in Autometer oil press gauge Recovered front and rear stock seats in black leather/gray fabric, drivers seat has 1/4 tear New paint, paint supplies total $1000 alone without labor Undercoat interior floor Lizard skin + undercoat underside floor Undercoat inside of doors + 3M wax spray in doors and rockers New front and rear chrome bumpers and side view mirrors BC Broncos media console w/IPOD hookup and speaker 90's ranger steering colum with working intermittent wipers, horn, etc. all electric works Bronco custom car cover Painted but not installed classic bubble scoop New speedometer cable, gauge speed is accurate New e-brake cable, parking brake springs New tailgate silencer Cutout fender heat exchanger

belts (Not cheap, DOT legal in all 50 states) New valve cover gaskets Readjusted roller rockers New fuel pump and hoses Repainted engine in correct Ford blue New DOT approved windshield There are various other odds and ends I have fixed. I also still have some parts on order. For example, ive cleaned and rebuilt the
original WARN hubs but they continue to stick so I have brand new WARN premium
hubs being shipped. Waiting on 2 tie rod
rebuilt kits and stop lamp switch. Ordered aftermarket 3 spoke steering wheel and momo adapter hub. With all the work that has been completed please keep in
mind this is a 47 year old vehicle and it should be driven as such. In the past 2 years I've only put approximately 5400 miles because my job keeps me away. I hate to see this one go but Im only selling this to
fund a family wagon overland build. This
is not a concourse level restoration but it is very nice as I get compliments
everywhere I go. I built this rig
exactly as I wanted. While I was
stationed in Port Hueneme I drove this vehicle every other week from Port
Hueneme to San Diego, a 180 mile trip one way without issue. Im now stationed in Mississippi and use this
as my daily driver. It has performed flawlessly thru Los Angeles traffic in 90 degree weather, and thru the snow packed woods in 28 degree winter weather in Gulfport. If you have further questions or would like to check out the vehicle in person feel free to contact me. I can also give you my screen name on classicbroncos.com so you can see every issue ive had since taking ownership. The odometer reading will fluctuate as this is my daily driver. That being said there are subtle rock chips and wear tear blemishes from being driven that I am currently taking care of. As stated above, I installed a new DOT approved windshield this past weekend to replace the cracked one it came with. This vehicle is being sold "as-is" with NO warranty either expressed or implied. I reserve the right to end this auction early in the event it sells before the auction ends. Offers are welcome but please no trades. Only payments accepted are cash in hand or wire transfer from your bank directly to mine. I bank with Wells Fargo.

Ford workers vote to ratify new four-year UAW contract
Sat, Nov 16 2019DETROIT — The United Auto Workers union said on Friday that rank-and-file members at Ford have voted in favor of a new four-year labor contract with the No. 2 U.S. automaker. The UAW will now focus on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), the sole remaining Detroit automaker without a new labor contract. Talks with FCA are expected to begin on Monday, a UAW spokesman said. The union said 56.3% of Ford's hourly workers voted to approve the deal, which allowed the company to avoid a strike like the one that cost its larger rival General Motors about $3 billion (GBP2.3 billion). UAW leaders said earlier this month that Ford under the deal agreed to invest more than $6 billion in its U.S. plants, and to create or retain more than 8,500 UAW jobs. The deal also includes pay raises and lump-sum payments over the life of the contract, a pathway to full-time employment for temporary employees and unchanged healthcare coverage. Workers at GM approved a deal in late October that ended a contentious 40-day U.S. strike, the longest automotive labor stoppage since 1970. Detailed terms of the Ford deal — released just a week after GM workers approved their new contract — echoed those agreed to with GM, as the union typically uses the first deal as a template for those that follow. UAW leaders managed contract negotiations with Ford and GM, including the lengthy strike, while struggling with an ongoing federal corruption probe. To date, 10 people have pleaded guilty in connection with the criminal investigation into illegal payoffs. Just last week former UAW vice president and former GM board member Joseph Ashton was charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud. Earlier this month the UAW said that its president, Gary Jones, who had been linked to the ongoing corruption probe, was taking a leave of absence. Rory Gamble, the union's acting head, said last week he will examine every department of the union in response to the spreading federal corruption probe to prevent future misuse of members' dues.
How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.
Autoblog editors choose their favorite racecars of all time
Thu, Feb 26 2015If you like cars, there is a good chance that you like racecars. There's something about the science and the art of going faster, of competition, of achievement, that accelerates the hearts of enthusiasts. It doesn't matter the series, the team or the manufacturer – there's something about racing that stirs emotions and lifts spirits. It's that way with many of you, and it's that way with our editors. With that in mind, we offer a list of our favorite racecars of all time. Of course, we'd like to hear some of yours in the comment section below. 1970 Porsche 917 Compared to some of the obscure choices by my colleagues, I feel like the Porsche 917 is almost so obvious a pick as to not be worth mentioning. Still, when coming up with my answer, my mind invariably went back to this classic racer – specifically in its blue-and-orange Gulf livery – while watching Le Mans on DVD and later Blu Ray with my dad. Long, low and curvaceous, few vehicles have ever looked sexier lapping a track than the 917. More than just a pretty face, this beauty had speed, too, thanks to several tunes of flat-12 engines over the course of its racing life. In the early '70s, Porsche was a dominant force throughout sports-car competition, and the 917 (shown above at the 1970 24 Hours of Daytona) was the tip of that spear, including back-to-back victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Largely without dialogue or really much of a traditional plot, Le Mans is like a tone poem of racing goodness. While the 917's importance to motorsports history is undoubtedly fascinating, it's still this cinematic depiction of the Porsche racer that draws me in most, especially with the volume cranked. – Chris Bruce Associate Editor 1964 Mini Cooper S How could everyone not be selecting the 1964 Mini Cooper S piloted by Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon? That car, 33 EJB, took the first of British Motor Corporation's four Monte Carlo Rally wins (it should have been five, but French judges got the British Minis [and Fords] disqualified on a technicality regarding headlights... which its own car, the winning DS, was also in violation of). The tiny red car and its white roof beat out Ford Falcons, Mercedes-Benz 300SEs and scores of Volvos, Volkswagens and Saabs. This, along with the several years of dominance that followed, cemented the idea that not only could the tiny, two-tone Mini be a real performance vehicle, but that family-friendly city cars in general could be fun.
