Relisted with Video and NO RESERVE!
This Early Bronco has been restored from the ground up. It is 100% rust free and ready to enjoy the summer! I started this project about 5 years ago and have lost interest. Time to move on to other things. Below is a list of the work that has been accomplished. This project started as a very rusty 1972 Bronco but it had some great components. The engine and transmission were previously rebuilt. The axles had 4.56 gears; the front Dana 44 had a posi and the rear Ford 9" had a Detroit locker. It also came with a 2" suspension lift. To start, I replaced the grill, tailgate, and bed section with take-offs from another Bronco. The fenders, kick panels, inner/outer rockers, front/rear door posts and outer quarters are reproduction pieces. After welding in all panels the body and frame were detached and media blasted. I painted the underside of the body and the frame with POR15. The body was reattached to the frame with a 1" body lift and then sent off for final body work and paint. When the Bronco returned I started on the engine and electrical. The previous owner had the engine and transmission rebuilt shortly before selling it. The engine was built with a mild RV cam and headers. The transmission was built with a shift kit and Art Carr deep oil pan. I decided to fuel inject the engine for better fuel mileage and reliability. I used a Ford Lightning 351w lower intake manifold and 1998 Ford Explorer GT-40 upper intake manifold, new 14lb injectors, truck fuel rail, new distributor and all new sensors to provide the basis for the fuel injection. I pulled it all together with a Ron Francis engine wiring harness and new aftermarket computer. I used a BCBroncos throttle cable and C4 kickdown bracket and cables to hook up the throttle and transmission. I used a Centech body harness to upgrade the rest of the electrical. I then moved on to fuel and brakes. I used BCBroncos' integrated fuel and brake line mounts and preformed fuel lines. The Bronco also got new brake lines. I used a BCBroncos 23 gallon fuel tank, which provides 10 gallons more than stock. New black reproduction bumpers and a Bestop soft top trim out the Bronco. The tailgate got a new stainless steel handle and license plate bracket. It also comes with a Bestop bikini top and STC soft doors that are uninstalled. The wheels are 15 inch Aluminum slots and the tires are 33 inch Dick Cepek mud terrains. A non matching spare is included in the sale. The interior has been upgraded with Beard bucket seats in front and a Toms Bronco fold and tumble rear seat. I installed adjustable 3-point seatbelts upfront and lap belts in the rear. I installed a Pioneer CD player into a Tuffy center console, JBZ kick panels in the front and custom inner quarter panels in the rear to house 4 component speakers, which is powered by a hidden 300 watt Rockford Fosgate amplifier. A four point roll cage finishes the interior. Altogether, this is a great looking classic Early Bronco. It runs, drives and stops great and it will handle just about any trail you could throw at it. There are a few things that could be finished up but then again, it is a 42 year old truck! Although the heater has been rebuilt and reinstalled, the cable actuated controls need to be installed. Also, the transmission temperature sensor needs to be installed. The Bestop soft top is an early style top that utilizes snaps for the rear window. I didn't want to install the snaps into the newly painted tailgate so I purchased a stainless steel tailgate protector to install the snaps onto instead. The tailgate protector is uninstalled but included with the sale. The mileage on the Bronco's odometer shows 5660 and is not the actual mileage. The actual mileage on the drivetrain is unknown but there are less than 500 miles on the body after it was painted. I've kept most of the documentation collected throughout the restore and it is included in the sale. I'm happy to answer any and all questions. New shocks were installed after the photos were taken; they are Pro Comp shocks. You can see the build from start to almost finish HERE. Below you'll find an itemized list of upgrades and work completed. Some of the fuel injection work was completed at Bronco Hut in Castle Rock, CO. I'm sure they could also answer any questions regarding the FI conversion and the Bronco's drivability.

Watch Ford build a Mustang atop Burj Khalifa, world's tallest building
Sun, Nov 23 2014In 1965, a Ford Mustang Convertible proudly went on display at the top of the Empire State Building, the world's tallest building at the time. Earlier this year, the Blue Oval recreated the stunt by bringing the latest droptop 'Stang to the sky-high structure. Unfortunately, while still iconic, the New York skyscraper has lost the world title. Of course, an automaker can't let something like that get in the way of a good publicity stunt. For the inauguration of the Ford business unit in the Middle East and Africa, the brand gave the 2015 Mustang Convertible an even bigger building to climb – the biggest in fact. The droptop made its way to the 112th floor of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. To put a final topper on the whole event, executive chairman Bill Ford was the one to place the car's famous badge, making it complete. Like with the Empire State Building spectacle, getting the Mustang to the top wasn't as simple as just driving it off the elevator. Check out the video above to see how it was done, and scroll down to read Ford's press release about the event. NEW MUSTANG UNVEILED ON WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDING, BURJ KHALIFA Bill Ford helps inaugurate Ford's latest business unit, Middle East and Africa, an exciting, vibrant region that represents the final frontier for growth in the auto industry Ford pledged to launch 25 vehicles in region by 2016, including the all-new Mustang debuting next year Industry sales in Middle East & Africa are expected to grow 40 per cent to 5.5 million vehicles by 2020 Dubai, U.A.E., Nov. 20, 2014 – Ford Motor Company underscored its growing ambitions in the Middle East and Africa, with the dramatic introduction of the all-new Mustang on Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford capped the live-action event by delivering the iconic pony badge to the 2015 yellow Mustang on the 112th floor of the skyscraper. The event was viewed live around the world on YouTube as well as by approximately 10,000 fans gathered in the Dubai Downtown area, overlooking the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa. (To see a replay, click on this link.) "Today we planted the Ford flag in the Middle East & Africa, an exciting, vibrant region that represents the final frontier for growth in the auto industry," Bill Ford said.
The 11 most expensive American cars ever
Tue, 12 Aug 2014Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.
This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014
They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
