FIRST YEAR of the V8 Bronco. Removable half-cab makes it even more rare. Completely uncut, unaltered original '66 Bronco repainted with original Caribbean Turquoise color in EXCELLENT CONDITION. Restored to its original condition, the only exception being a rebuilt bored-out 302 c.i. V8 block plus engine upgrades vs. the original 289 c.i. V8 completed about 500 miles ago.

Clean title, no wrecks, no rust, 4 WD. Original three speed on the floor. New suspension, new brakes, new shocks, new tires (including spare). The engine has an Edelbrock intake manifold with a four-barrel carburetor, new exhaust headers, and new exhaust system and mufflers. The valve covers are old-school Mickey Thompson. New power steering, coil, and fuel pump as well. Full restoration completed by the masters at Beach City Broncos with excellent paint. Rear rumble seat with all three seats reupholstered, heavy duty roll bar repainted black, bikini top, and trickle charger. This is a great value for the first year early Bronco in excellent condition. Exterior in near perfect condition with absolutely no dings, dents, or scratches. Half-cab top also repainted white without a scratch. A true classic collector's vehicle that will continue to increase in value.

Full restoration began in 2009 and was just completed with the following work performed:

-Original turquoise exterior color (code 12876)

-Suspension, 6 Ranchero shocks, brakes, tires

-Rebuilt bored-out 302 Ford V8 engine, hoses, belts, etc.

-4 barrel carburator, headers, exhaust system

-Power steering

-Ignition coil

-Electric fuel pump

-Fuel sending unit/gas tank sensor on main tank

-Voltage regulator

-Fuel gauge

-Window gaskets, including vent window and all window seals

-Dash gauge cluster

-Rubber hood bumpers

-Signal switch

-Gaskets for around doors, above windshield, below top in rear, rear glass gasket

-Window regulators

-Ignition switch

-Exhaust pipe, muffler, tail pipe

-Clutch

-Both gas tanks

-Water pump

-Reupholstered fabric insert front and rear seat

This is a nearly flawless restoration with the following exceptions:

-Independent windshield wipers work sporadically

-AM radio works well but tuner dial doesn't move needle

These are both items I refuse to replace with new parts. I have gone through much time and expense finding refurbished hardware for the entire restoration and I'm still on the hunt for these two items.

**Odometer is in working condition but not sure if 88,000 mileage is accurate, as the Bronco is nearly 50 yrs old. Due to age and smog exemption, no odometer readings available through Carfax, Autocheck, etc. I have no reason to believe this isn't the accurate mileage but simply can not guarantee it (just with any other classic that isn't original owner).**

Sale comes with approx. $30,000 in documented receipts (parts and PROFESSIONAL labor) organized in 3-ring binder. This doesn't include the hours I have put into the restoration or the original sales price of the Bronco. For questions please email. I am more than happy to take additional pictures of any square inch requested. Serious inquiries only please.

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang Â– 204 points Hyundai Genesis Â– 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 Â– 297 points Chevrolet Colorado Â– 205 points Lincoln MKC Â– 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media Â– magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.

Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

When Ford made the decision to end production of the Falcon sedan and Territory CUV in Australia, it wasn't a popular move Down Under. The large, four-door Falcon had been in production for 50 years, and while Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to the Australian market, it's understandable that some people still aren't all that crazy about the Blue Oval's decision.
Speaking to CEO Alan Mulally after Ford's Go Further event in Sydney, Australian site Go Auto reports that the decision was not one made lightly, and that the automaker is doing everything possible to respect the Falcon and Territory's "stakeholders." It's an interesting piece that shows a softer side of a corporation, while demonstrating that Ford is doing everything in its power to make the end of production as smooth as possible for all parties.
Head over to Go Auto for the full series of remarks from Mulally, and then let us know what you think of Ford's handling of the Falcon and Territory discontinuations, in Comments.
