This is a 1973 Ford Bronco. I am the second owner. I believe it to be in very good condition, but it certainly has been used and has wear. I have never abused this vehicle nor do I believe the original owner did either. My wife and I have only used it during hunting seasons on "ranch" roads that we have permission to hunt. The left rear corner was in a minor to moderate accident prior to my ownership. It has some very minor evidence of rust but no serious rust issues of any kind. It was repainted prior to 1996. It has had no internal engine work done since new, but all external components have been replaced or overhauled (i.e. fuel pump, water pump, carb, radiator, heater core, motor mounts, starter, alternator). The engine runs good and does not use oil. The transmission was overhauled in 1976 at either 6100 miles or 61000 miles. I do not know which. Both rear end and front end have had new axel bearings installed, but no internal work done (i.e. gears). Every u-joint in the drive train has been replaced. All brake components have been replaced with exception of the drums. It has all new neoprene suspension parts on the front end. All new shocks with duel shocks being added to the front. Engine, transmission and steering do leak some oil due to age, but not really due to a malfunction. The odometer reads 98,501. When I asked the original owner if that was correct he stated that it had turned over. So, I have to assume that it has 198,501 miles, but I do not know what the actual miles are. The speedometer has always worked since I got it. This vehicle is almost all stock with the exception of the rear fenders being cut and flairs installed. Duel shocks being added to the front. The original steering wheel being replaced. The rear upholstery, carpeting and back seat have been removed for a more utilitarian use. The front bumper has been replaced with a winch type bumper. It has no winch at this time. It has no steel top nor am radio and speaker. But the dash has not been modified. I have modified the door hinge pins for quick and easy removal of the doors while hunting.

Overall this Bronco is in excellent condition for it's age. But, it is 41 years old. I get many compliments on it. It has been garaged the whole time that I have owned it and well taken care of and serviced. The only reason that I am selling it is I wish to get an ATV that I can haul in conjunction with my travel trailer.

Black Zombie electric Mustang launches Blood Shed Motors [w/videos]

Thu, Jun 19 2014

As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant. Lightning repeatedly vanquished the darkness like the angriest of strobe lights and thunder shook the building, punctuating the clatter of a heavy Texas rain on the metal roof as the clock ticked away the initial seconds of a rare full moon Friday the 13th. It was then that the Black Zombie came to life for the first time. Beneath the hood of this rust-free 1968 Mustang fastback, a 289-cubic-inch V8 no longer turns gasoline into heat, noise and pollution. As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant, and now boasts twinned Warp 11 DC motors and a pair of fresh Zilla controllers that will serve as the basic blueprint for future vehicles. Dubbed the Zombie 222 drivetrain, the setup will be limited to 750 horsepower in customer's cars to keep the maintenance experience low, and eventually will draw power from a 40-kWh battery pack. In this first example, though, the output is bit more extreme. For one day, at least, they have the 1,500-kW-capable pack that powers the record-setting Swamp Rat 37 racer belonging to Don Garlits and a brief window of opportunity to try it out on a track. Blood Shed Motors is the result of a collaboration between NEDRA co-founder John "Plasma Boy" Wayland, the man who helped bring electric vehicle drag racing to the attention of the world with his unassuming White Zombie Datsun 1200 conversion and Austin, TX business man Mitch Medford, who've put together a small team of experts in their chosen fields. The plan is to build a limited number of muscle car conversions on pristine early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. The plan is to build a limited number of high-quality muscle car conversions on pristine (No restored rust buckets!) early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. Each can be customized according to buyer's wishes and blessed with its own serial number. The price tags will be in the eye-watering $200,000-and-up neighborhood, reflective of the cost and rarity of these cars and the custom nature of the alterations. Of course, you can't just multiply horsepower and add the monster torque that these electric motors put out and expect an antique chassis to hold up.
