Excellent 1976 Ford Bronco Ranger Uncut LUBR. This Bronco is a daily driver that draws stares and thumbs up wherever it goes. You can't go into the supermarket without someone crawling around it or asking about it. Spends 99% of its time with the top off in the garage.   It is not a frame off but has been totally redone and gone through.  Drives straight at speed and with hands off the wheel (it is almost 40 years old though) power steering and power brakes.The body was stripped to bare metal and two or three small rust spots replaced with new metal.  The entire tub and bed was shot with Raptor as well as the underneath of the hood and engine compartment. New 3 1/2" lift with new springs, leafs and shocks from Bronco Graveyard as well as new steering stabilizer. Brand new Warn hubs and U joints. Paint is less than a year old in PPG Medium Blue Poly with Whimbelton White top and grill.  Original 302 Engine was replaced due to cracked freezing block at 72,000 miles with a Hi Po 289 from a 66 Mustang. Engine has Holley carb Edelbrock manifold and headers which are all less than one year old. Also a brand new 2 into 1 exhaust from headers back was just installed also. Nice quiet rumble without the obnoxious drone. Interior has new carpet, trim, seat covers, door panels, locks. Also a stereo with Aux input four Rockford Fosgate 6x9s and two Subwoofer behind the rear bench seat.  The C4 tranny shifts smooth and no leaks.  This Bronco has been used for fun and show not four wheeling as I have two 4x4's for that.  Spends most of the sitting in the garage waiting for nice days.  All gauges work (replacement temp) and turn signals.  Heater is strong and all door and windows have brand new felts and weatherstrip.  New windshield with no chips and new body trim and most lenses..  This rig also comes with two sets of tires and rims, white spokes with 31x10.50 x 15 mudders and 30x9.50x15 at's with mags.The truck no longer has 6pt, only 4pt cage, kid too tall (6'9"). new dash pad and fully insulated top and padded full carpet for noise deadening. This is not a trailer queen or show Bronco but instead a fun great looking rig that will only appreciate in value. Kids are off to college so time for a new dad only toy. Some original owner paperwork and tags. A little mud/dirt in some of the pictures

Recharge Wrap-up: Daimler spending big for fuel cells, Ford Go!Drive experiment advances

Fri, Mar 20 2015

Ford's Go!Drive experiment is entering its beta phase in London. The project, which is one of the automaker's global smart mobility experiments, uses a mobile app for on-demand carsharing of Ford Focus Electric and Ford Fiesta vehicles. The beta phase involves increasing the number of available vehicles from 20 to 50, and collecting new data from users. The program offers one-way rentals and guaranteed parking, with no membership fees and a cost of 26 cents per minute. Ford hopes to get 2,000 drivers involved in the program. Read more at Green Car Congress. Daimler will invest billions of dollars to upgrade the Mercedes-Benz Unterturkheim plant over the next few years. This year alone, it plans to spend $1.06 billion. The company expects cost savings "in the range of hundreds of millions of euros until 2020," while maintaining its workforce of 18,700 employees and adding 150 vocational training positions. The upgrades will allow the plant to become a center for building more efficient engines, hybrid powertrains and fuel cell systems. "Alternative drive systems are an important element of our future mobility," says Mercedes-Benz's Markus Schafer. "Their share of automotive production is set to steadily rise over the next few years, complementing our highly efficient engines within the portfolio. This is what we have laid the groundwork for today." Read more at Reuters, or in the press release below. The Department of Energy is providing $20 million in funding for the development of more efficient high speed industrial motors and drives. Ditching old motors and gearboxes for ones that use integrated power electronics could help decrease the energy consumption of the industrial sector, which currently uses more than 25 percent of the electricity generated in the US. The projects being funded will reduce losses and decrease the size of drive systems used in industries like petroleum refining and natural gas, which could affect the lifecycle efficiency of transportation fuels.

Ford secures Microsoft for software updates

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Ford is dropping Microsoft later this year as its infotainment partner when the Blue Oval switches to the BlackBerry QNX operating system for Sync 3 (pictured above). However, the two companies aren't severing ties completely, because the Redmond, WA, outfit is taking responsibility for Sync 3's wireless updates. Don Butler, Ford Director of Connected Vehicles and Services, announced the deal during a speech, according to Automotive News. "We've obviously had a good, long relationship with Microsoft," he said. "Microsoft understands the automotive environment and the kinds of experiences that we'd like to enable." The ability for Sync 3 to accept Wifi updates was announced as a major feature the new infotainment system, but this was the first mention of how that has been handled. Ford will host the files on Microsoft's Azure Cloud servers, according to Automotive News. Owners will need to give permission to check for new software, and they'll be notified after an improvement's installation. Dealers will install Wifi transmitters to keep vehicles on the lot up to date, as well. Sync 3 is set to replace the much-maligned MyFord Touch later in 2015 on some 2016 model year vehicles, and by next year it should be available throughout the Ford and Lincoln lineups. In addition to the wireless updates, the new system also promises a simplified interface, better voice recognition and faster response times. Ford Motor Company is preparing for vehicle ownership and user experiences of the future with the creation of a global cloud based Ford Service Delivery Network enabling new ways for consumers to interact with cars. Teaming up with Microsoft, Ford will expand connected services for customers around the world using the globally scalable and reliable Azure Cloud infrastructure. Ford and Lincoln owners will benefit from the convenience of new connectivity services keeping them better informed and in control of their vehicle at all times with the expanded availability of features like scheduled remote start, vehicle finder, and vehicle status (fuel or charge level, tire pressure). Building the Ford Service Delivery Network (SDN) on the Microsoft Azure platform enables a common platform for Ford to bring new features and services to market faster, quickly scale up for global implementation, and remain flexible for the future. Starting later this year, the Service Delivery Network will first enable over-the-air software updates for SYNC 3.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
