 I have my barn find 75 ford bronco for sale,  I don't know much about these trucks, I just knew I wanted one, so when I got the chance to buy one sitting in a shed for years, I jumped on it. I had hopes of restoring it, cleaned it up, bought parts, and...... haven't worked on it much since I got it (over a year ago), letting it take up space, so its time to turn it over to someone who will give it the love it deserves. I bought brake hardware kits and shoes for the front and rear, and one wheel cylinder for the front and one for the rear (all the parts house had at the time), new electric fuel pump (installed), & new bushwacker fender flares mounted (gaskets are included, but not installed). The interior is not in bad shape, the prior owner must have liked the wood grain door panels, but I also have what looks to be the original steel door panels. The seats have had vinyl dye sprayed on them, so they look newer than they are, and they are not mounted. It could use front floor pans if you were going to restore it, since the prior owner was apparently a master sheet metal worker and did any and all floor patches with galvanized sheet metal and painted it to match the rest of the interior. the glass is good, windows roll down, and the top can come off when unbolted.

the motor did start, haven't tried to start it in a while, but the motor was real weak, didn't leak oil or smoke, but it was weak. it may have a popped out freeze plug, or a blown head gasket, because coolant leaks out soon after you put it in. I'm not sure what size motor it has, and I'm not sure how you could tell since there is so little room to look for codes under the hood. it does have dual gas tanks, and holds fuel in one of the tanks, haven't tried the other. I also have the rear tire carrier, but I don't think I have the hinge part that bolts to the body, and the front axle has manual hubs.

feel free to ask me any questions, as I stated earlier, I don't know much about these trucks, this was my first and only one, but this one has plenty of character, and I haven't seen one like it before. bill of sale only, Alabama didn't require one on vehicles this old. but I do know that you can get a new title generated (at least here in Alabama) for $150. thank you for looking

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype

Wed, 08 May 2013

Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.

Mustang driver proves wheels are overrated

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

We don't need to tell you that there's something missing in the image above. What we do need to tell you is that this is not a picture of a parked car stranded on the highway. This is, rather, just one frame from video of that three-wheeled Mustang traveling down the highway at highway-appropriate speed.
We don't know where you'd have to be nor how badly you'd have to be there to go shooting down the freeway in a car with three wheels, but if the New Daily News is correct, that place is somewhere in Texas. The video's short, but you'll have plenty of time to shake your head at it by just scrolling down.
