1969 Bronco Sport, 351w, 3 Speed Column Shift, Great Project Bronco! on 2040-cars
East Berlin, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for auction is my 1969 Bronco Sport. Firstly the pictures are 4 years old....the Bronco is buried in the back of my garage where it has sat for the past 4 years. I will add more pics when I get it out! My plan was to restore it but I never got around to it. Have too many other projects going on and decided to let it go. It has a 351W engine, 3 speed column shift, 4WD, and standard brakes and steering. The roof is NOT a factory half cab. It is a standard wagon roof that was cut down by the previous owner and it was done very nicely. From the outside the only way you can tell is that it has a hatchback instead of the regular rear window. The divider behind the seats was fabricated by the same guy who did the roof. It needs a full restoration but is a VERY good candidate for one! It is VERY straight but rusty. I did find a rust hole in the frame near the LR shock mount but repairing it shouldn't be a problem, it didn't go to either flange. It has the typical Bronco rust in the floors and you can see the rocker panels. There is no exhaust, just short down pipes on the exhaust manifolds. Fenders and hood are very good other than some rust through in the leading edge of the hood on the right hand side. The rear door posts where the door strikers are need replaced. Front posts seem pretty solid and the doors close pretty good. Dash pad is no good and glove box door is bent. The brakes are not working at all. When I bought it the LR emergency brake cable was frozen and I had to cut it to get the brake to release. It could be pulled on a tow dolly but you would have to bring tires for it, I would not recommend pulling it on the tires that are on it. I will help load it. I did have the engine running when I bought it but the carb was leaking gas. I did drive it around a little and the 4WD worked and the transmission worked in all gears. The electrical system seemed good, most of the lights worked and I suspect the ones that didn't had corrosion issues with the bulbs. It had sat for 7 years when I bought it. I have the PA title in my name. Buyer would be responsible for transfer fees and there is a notary about 15 minutes from me. I accept Paypal or cash when picked up. I will help load it. It is also for sale locally at the buy it now price so the auction may end at any time. If you have any questions feel free to contact me! Thanks for looking! I have removed it from the garage and added more pictures. The front floors have been repaired and do not look bad, they are solid. There is rust through behind the seat in the floor. I included a picture of the rusted out part of the frame. It is on the bottom between the axle and rear spring hanger. Still repairable in my opinion, it is a box frame and could easily be pieced in and reinforced. The floor in the rear isn't bad, just a few spots around the edges. ****Edit-7/18/14**** I just want to clarify about the hole in the frame. It is clearly visible in the last picture. In this picture you are looking at the LR corner of the Bronco from underneath looking back. The hole is beside the spring hanger on the bottom of the frame. |

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Ford recalls 1.3 million Fusions, MKZs: Steering wheels could come off
Wed, Mar 14 2018When driving a car, the steering wheel is only expected to move in a rotational fashion, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When it moves in some other direction, something is wrong, and when it moves the wrong way enough that it is no longer attached to the steering column, that's a really, really bad thing. And apparently, according to a recall issued by Ford, there are over 1.3 million Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs that are at risk of this happening. And at least two accidents and one injury have been attributed to the issue. Ford says the problem is that the steering wheel bolt that keeps the wheel attached to the column might not provide enough torque, resulting in the bolt slowly loosening and working its way off the column. The good news is that the fix is really simple. Ford will install a larger bolt with more threads along with a larger nylon patch to keep it all locked down. The fix is completely free to owners. Cars affected by the recall include 2014 to 2017 Fusions built built at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan between August 6, 2013, and February 29, 2016. Model year 2014-2018 Fusions and MKZs built at the Hermosillo factory in Mexico are also affected. So if you have one of those sedans, please get in touch with your local dealer to have the issue addressed. Related Video:
Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die
Tue, 20 Aug 2013When 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.
