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...

Various door, tailgate, hood gasket sets and seals

New valve cover gaskets

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 shutters Genk assembly plant in Belgium

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Ford has become the latest automaker to close one of its European assembly plants. The facility in question is located in the Belgian city of Genk and has been in operation since the early '60s when it started building the Taunus, Ford's first mass-produced, front-drive model. As part of the plan first announced over two years ago, the Genk Body & Assembly Plant is now closing its doors after half a century in the business and over fourteen million vehicles built. Although the plant itself employed some 5,000 workers, once you take into account the suppliers built up around the plant, the overall impact on employment in the area edges closer to 12,000. Genk Body & Assembly had until recently been tasked with producing the Mondeo sedan (which in its current iteration we know as the Fusion) as well as the S-Max and Galaxy minivans. Production of the Mondeo shifted in 2013 to the company's plant in Valencia, Spain, which also handles the Kuga crossover and Transit Connect cargo van, and will soon take over the minivans from Genk as well. The move follows a similar decision undertaken by General Motors to close the Opelwerk plant in Bochum, Germany. It also reflects a scaling down of automobile production in Belgium specifically: although Audi still manufacturers in Brussels and and Volvo in Ghent, Opel closed its plant in Antwerp in 2000 and Renault ceased production in Vilvoorde back in '97. However Ford still maintains its famous proving ground half an hour to the north in Lommel, Belgium.

We drive the 2016 Ford F-750 Tonka dump truck

Thu, May 28 2015

The Ford F-750 dump truck stands nearly 10 feet tall and is painted bright yellow. It idles patiently yards away from Ford's test track in Dearborn, MI. "Tonka" is emblazoned on the sides. We pose the obvious question to Ford marketing manager Mark Lowrey: Why do this? "We built this truck to get attention," he replies. And indeed it does. Ford revealed the 2016 F-750 Tonka dump truck in March at an industry show, underscoring that the Blue Oval is back in the business of big trucks after years of teaming with Navistar in a joint venture. The new F-650s and F-750s start rolling off the line at a factory near Cleveland this summer, and the order bank is open now. The trucks come in regular, super, and crew cabs and offer three states of tune for the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel, plus a gasoline-fed 6.8-liter V10. Naturally, the Tonka has most powerful diesel mill, with 330 horsepower and 725 pound-feet of torque. The Tonka edition is a paint-and-sticker one-off that Ford is using as a promotional tool. You can't buy one, and it will be touring shows and events throughout the year. Lowrey notes that it calls attention to work trucks in a positive way. The general public usually only sees them when the trucks are blocking the road or making too much noise at a construction site. Tonka trucks, on the other hand, conjure up happy childhood memories. "We're going to do something where someone's going to see this truck and smile," he says. It's hard not to grin as we climb into the cabin of this monster truck. It has a 33,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating and can carry five yards worth of dirt. We're not doing anything like that today – just puttering around Ford's handling circuit inside its product enclave. The course is closed, so even though this track is better suited to calibrating Mustangs, F-150s, and well, almost anything but a dump truck, we're totally relaxed. We depress the button to release the parking brake and are off. The truck is surprisingly easy to drive. The vision ahead is excellent – makes sense, we're nearly one story off the ground, after all. The cabin is simple and cleanly laid out. It looks like a Ford truck, regardless of the size. The diesel engine has a lot of grunt. We can feel the torque. The steering is light, and we have to stomp on the air brakes to slow this thing down. We go 'hot' into a tight corner just for fun. It's not really that fast, but it raises the eyebrows of our film crew, which is set up nearby.
