1971 Ford Bronco Early Classic - Restored - Uncut Body - V8 302 See Video on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
4 Sale, Very rare uncut nice looking and driving restored Early Classic Ford Bronco. Bronco is still very original to what it was when sold new over 43 years ago! The Vin plate decode - U15 = 3800 gvw soft top or hard top option with full hard doors. G = Factory V8 302 Bronco. J = Dana front end fitted with rare factory 350 gears. (Great on and off road gears). Let's you drive the highways and Interstate at lower RPM. Rear axle I 8 = also matching 3.50 factory rear end gears. This Bronco can be driven out of town on long road trips (unlike most of them with 4:11 or rock crawl gearing). C = Factory manual transmission = better performance on and off road than auto trans in my opinion and that of most Broncos owners. The factory paint code color is "1" = Factory color of Calypso Coral Orange. (Great color). Then to top it off the Bronco is a true factory Sport Model = lots of chrome trim and stainless on the body. All trim looks great! This Bronco is still all the above 43 years later and that's a rare thing for sure. Bronco has less than 12,000 proven, driven reliable miles on the oldest part of the restoration and 400 miles on the newest part of the restoration. This classic Ford Bronco is very sanitary and nicer than most you will ever see that get driven. It looks very nice inside and out and it runs and drives great. Bronco was built to drive and enjoy and is (very reliable) turn key and go first time /every time. It has factory bronco 4 wheel drive and locking hubs so it can be enjoyed off road also. All the factory 4 wheel drive running gear is in great running order. The Bronco is powered by a nice running Ford V8 302 ci motor as it should be. (Same V8 motor used in the early classic mustang). The motor has been fitted with aluminum intake - headers and 4 bbl carb and dressed in chrome to look good. The motor and motor bay area both detailed very nice = SEE PHOTOS. The motor runs 45 lb plus oil pressure and 180 deg water temp all day long! (NO LEAKS UNDER THIS BRONCO). Motor is backed by the Factory Bronco manual transmission that shifts and downshifts nice = SEE VIDEO. Ford 9 inch rear end fitted with factory 3.50 gears so it will run the highways and Interstate fine if you want to take the out of town on long road trips. (Was not built to be a mud truck or rock crawler) Bronco has not been molested over the years like most! Not lifted and cut up - rear fenders not cut off - nice body and door fit. 90 percent or better of all older Broncos have been cut up and abused over the years. This Bronco still retains the correct factory Bronco suspension under it and it rides like a car, not like a bus or log truck like most of them with modified rock crawl suspensions - gearing and big body lift's and huge tires. It was rebuilt and restored and kept as original possible. A true Classic ( garage art ) and will turn every head in town driving in it or just parked on the street. The Bronco was repainted one time the original factory color, of "Coral Orange" 12,000 mile ago on the outside. The Bronco has been waxed and garaged kept and the paint and Body paint touched up as needed to keep it looking very nice. SEE PHOTOS. Body paint still has a very nice high gloss shine to it and you will get a lot of thumbs up when driving in it. The inside of Bronco was just repainted for the first time less than 30 days ago to finish the project correct. The Inside was also painted the original factory color of Coral Orange and it looks outstanding = SEE PHOTOS ! New door rubbers - new dash mat - new glove box insert - new FM /Cd stereo - new shift boots all installed new after inside was painted. New looks better! All lights work correct - all dash gauges work correct = SEE VIDEO. Bronco also also just fitted with a (New black full soft top with dark tinted removable side windows that zip in and out for open air driving) = SEE PHOTOS and VIDEO. I just drove this Bronco on a 4 hours road trip and it drove very nice. No Issues, a fun drive for sure. Bronco has two gas tank also factory option. Bronco was upgraded to power steering so it is easy to drive. Also updated to power brakes and will stop on a dime. Broncos not sold with power steering and power brakes option in 1971 "so" it was added to make it fun and easy to drive. Column shift was moved to the floor ( FUN FUN FUN ). The inside driver and passenger floor pans were replaced during restoration being 43 years old, not bad but new is always better and inside looks great. The rear original floor pans looked perfect so kept in place. Inside was gutted and restored very nice = SEE PHOTO. Looks better than the day it was sold new by Ford. Bottom side pans cleaned and finished in SEM water proof rust inhibitor to seal and protect it from the harsh road elements for many years to come. Exhaust was older but in great shape so cleaned and painted in black hot rod ceramic paint. Frame - front end -rear end all cleaned and painted black = SEE PHOTOS. Bottom side is much cleaner than most of them for sure. Vehicle just serviced and detailed from top to bottom and ready to roll. So in a nut shell it is a very nice looking very original Bronco overall. It is powered by a V8 302 - Has manual transmission - Power steering -Power brakes. It runs nice and fun to drive. It is still very original and very hard to find them like this 43 years later. Less than 17,000 total Broncos built in 1971 . About 650 built as Baja Broncos makes it 16,400 left sold to the public and about 10,000 of them sold with V8 motor option. Say 20 to 25 percent of them U14 factory half cab builds = 7,500 U15 Broncos left . Then about 10 percent painted in Coral Orange = round it off at 800 Factory Orange ones left - and then add in about 40 percent of all built being having Sport model package = 340 total maybe left on the planet. Then ask yourself how many left UNCUT . Most have been - cut up - lifted - running gear changed out - rusted - damaged - rolled over - bent up - vin numbers removed or missing all together over the past 43 years ?? - I don't think you can find 100 left on this planet this original! Above build numbers can be found on the internet. Do the math = This Little Bronco is very rare still being the original color - uncut fenders and retaining it factory options 43 years later. I have owned or repaired and restored over 100 plus Classic Broncos over the past 30 years and can confirm this Bronco is nice and it's rare being so original on options and Vins. I don't build or repair them for the public anymore and won't (so please don't ask!) It's still my hobby and always will be. Great investment being uncut = they only go up in value if you take care of them. California truck most it's life and was smog exempt in California due to age. Bronco garaged at my home in Las Vegas, Nevada at this time. Buyer more than welcome to inspect in person before end of auction. I have nothing to hide. I have done a long detailed listing, added 25 large photos , listed a ton a facts, and did a walk around & driving Video to show the vehicle in even better detail than most sellers ever will. Bid with confidence this is a nice classic Bronco for sure. Clear California title to Buyer when PAID IN FULL. All Factory original Vin Numbers and plates still on vehicle 43 years later ( That's Very Rare ) . Factory vin and ID plate still on the inside of the original glove box door as it should be.

It the real thing! Seller will hold vehicle in locked garage until new owner can pick up in person or have transported to them.

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams
Sun, 11 Aug 2013As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.
Weekly Recap: Toyota, Mazda team up to 'make cars better'
Sat, May 16 2015Toyota and Mazda are teaming for a noble purpose: to "make cars better." That's how the two Japanese automakers termed their partnership, which was announced this week. So what does this actually mean? The companies said they will set up a joint committee to look for areas of cooperation and named safety and the environment as issues they plan to tackle. From a product perspective, it's believed that Toyota is interested in Mazda's Skyactive engine portfolio. In turn, Mazda has its eye on Toyota's fuel-cell and plug-in hybrid technology. While more specifics were not confirmed, the companies said the "agreement will go beyond the traditional framework of cooperation," and it has the potential to be a long-range partnership. "The main purpose of this initiative is to enhance the appeal of our cars," Toyota president Akio Toyoda said at the announcement. Previously, Mazda has licensed Toyota's hybrid tech and assembled compact cars for Toyota in Mexico. Akio Toyoda said these projects "triggered" the automakers to explore further collaboration. Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager for AutoPacific, said the tie-up echoes Daimler's wide-ranging work with the Renault-Nissan alliance. "This could be a well-groomed match due to each having very unique skill sets," he said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Volvo selects South Carolina for US factory Volvo confirmed this week that it will build its first US factory in South Carolina, with construction set to begin this fall. The company first revealed plans in March, though it didn't announce a site. The plant will have initial annual production of 100,000 units, though the vehicle or vehicles to be assembled were not specified. The factory, located near Charleston, will open in 2018 and ultimately employ 4,000 people. The facility will help Volvo continue its growth strategy, which includes strengthening its presence in the US market, where it wants to sell more than 100,000 cars per year. "Building a plant in the US is a reflection of Volvo Cars' commitment to the US and the key role the US plays in our growth objectives," Lex Kerssemakers, senior vice president, Americas, said in a statement. Ford GT spied on the road The 2017 Ford GT was spotted testing around the Blue Oval's headquarters in Dearborn, MI, this week. The raw body panels were exposed, and they lacked paint or camouflage. It's the first time the GT has been captured on the street after a spring of auto show reveals.
Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car
Fri, Jan 6 2017Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.
