I am selling my Frame OFF 1976 Ford Bronco and my reserve is less then half its value. After a full blown 100% frame off restoration, I bought this Bronco in 2009 with 1000 miles on it. I have a clear Indiana title to this truck in my name. I have had this Bronco 5 years and it now has 2900 miles on it. I only drive it in nice weather. The previous owner did a 100% nut and bolt frame off restoration on this Bronco and spared no expense. It took him 2 years to restore this Bronco and he PAID out $46,000 in parts. I have in my possession every receipt ever spent on this machine. The receipts are 2 inches thick and I totaled them up and they equal $46,000. This is just the PAID receipts. This $46k does not include the 1000's of hours of labor spent on this machine. I have the restorers name, phone number, and address. This information will be turned over to the buyer in order to contact him. Doug, the restorer, meticulously documented the restoration every step of the way through many, many photographs. Ebay only allows 24 pictures, but if you want more, I have 200 pictures that Doug took during the restoration.
I also have pictures from when Doug bought this truck from Texas and it was rust free. Doug starting buying parts from Wild Horses, Tom's bronco, and BC Bronco which are 3 the big suppliers. We are talking $46,000 in spent receipts. Everything on this bronco was disassembled down to the bare frame and every single part is either new or refurbished. From memory I will try to describe what the Doug did.

1. New Crate 351 motor with new Edelbrock carburetor
2. New Air Conditioning.
3. New Stainless Steel Wind shield frame which allows for the wipers to be below. (Bronco wipers are on top)
4. New 5 Speed Tranny
5. New Dual Gas Tanks which are controlled by switch
6. New WARN Differentials which are controlled independently. In other words, the truck can be front wheel
drive, rear wheel drive, or 4 wheel drive. All 3 options can be independently in High or Low gear.
7. New front Brush Guard
8. New remote wireless Winch
9. New Fog Lights
10. New rear Guard and Spare tire holder and Gas can holder
11. New tires and 5 New rims
12. New Full Roll Cage (Not Installed but goes with the truck)
13. New Radiator Alternator, Battery, Fuel Pump, Oil Pump, etc....
14. New shocks
15. New Lift Kit for a tasteful 3" lift
16. New Exhaust system which rumbles with Flowmaster Mufflers
17. New Wheel Well Fender flares
18. Totally refurbished removable top in perfect condition with dark tinted windows

19. Dark tinted windows all around

20. New steering wheel and the truck turns on a dime. Very tight radius

21. New hydraulic brakes, lines, and rotors which stop on a dime

New EVERYTHING!! New carpet, primer/paint, wiring through out, gauges, radio/CD/flash drive, steering shaft, head liner, sound proofing insulation, belts, battery, every part under the hood is new, every seal, clip,and part on the truck is new except the body, glass, frame, and seats.

The guy I bought it from, Doug, ran out of money and therefore told me that he did not do 3 things to this vehicle.
1. He did not recover the seats. There are no rips or tears and Not needed in my opinion!!
2. He did not fix a very little chip in the windshield. If I did not tell you this, you would not see it. Not needed!!
3. Finally, since the new windshield frame is stainless steel, the paint had a hard time sticking to it in one area. There is a small area on the

windshield frame that looks OK, but if you want it perfect, it would require a repaint. It does not look bad however. I am nitpicking.

I suggest that if you are interested in this Bronco to call me and request the 200 pictures. Some people do not like bidding on Ebay and want to speak to the owner personally. I encourage that!!! You should know WHO you are buying this from. I have 100% feedback and nothing to hide so here is my phone. 317 201-7777. I know it sounds ridiculous how much money and time Doug put into this restoration. To the tune of $70,000. I am letting it go for less half that.

Thanks and Good Luck

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

Ford reveals all-new Everest SUV at Asia-Pacific forum [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

While the Explorer may have shifted from a truck-based sport-ute to a car-based crossover, Ford still offers buyers on the other side of the Pacific a Ranger-based SUV in the form of the Everest. And at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Beijing today, the Blue Oval revealed the all-new version you see here.
Previewed in concept form over a year ago and made specifically for the Asia-Pacific market, the new Ford Everest is designed to be more refined on the road and more capable off of it. Like the Explorer once was, the new Everest is based on a stretched version of the overseas Ford Ranger pickup. Depending on the specific market, Ford will offer the new Everest with a range of engines including a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four and two Duratorq turbodiesels - a 2.2-liter four and a 3.2-liter inline-five - mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Earmarked to take on the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the new Everest promises rock-crawlers even better off-road capabilities. It's got nearly nine inches of ground clearance, over 30 inches of wading depth, a 29-degree approach and 25-degree departure angles and a set of features including on-the-fly adjustable four-wheel drive.

2014 Ford Mustang GT

Fri, 17 May 2013

I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
