Up for auction is a mostly original 1977 Ford Bronco with the Ranger package. I am the third owner of this Bronco. The original owner purchased the vehicle in Lakewood Colorado and sold it in 2008. The second owner only had it for a short time before I bought it. The Bronco comes with the original sales receipt which shows the dealer installed Stroppe roll bar, Stroppe cactus smasher, and hurricane style aluminum wheels. The original owner had the motor and transmission re-built around 103,000 miles. This is my fourth early Bronco and this one runs and drives great. I recently took a 400 mile trip without any issues. I would drive this Bronco anywhere.

The Bronco has factory installed power disk brakes, power steering, and automatic transmission. The original paint shows like new in many places but does have some fading on the hood and upper left rear quarter panel. There is minimal rust at the inner kick panels but nothing major that needs repair. The seats show wear from 36 years of use but are still in good overall condition. The rear seat looks like new. The carpet is clean with no major stains. The Ranger package has the headliner, rear quarter panels, cloth door panels, carpet with sound barrier pad below, swing away rear tire carrier, and outside mirrors on both sides. The driver side mirror has an interior remote control. I removed the leaking front auxiliary gas tank. I will include the filler nozel, sending unit, skid plate, and tank straps. I would guess the fenders were cut in the 1980's. Other than the cut fenders, aluminum radiator, and a few new seals, this Bronco is just as it was purchased in July of 1977. The tires are 31" Falcon's with approximately 75% tread left. Four high and low both work fine, all gauges and lights work properly. This is a great Bronco that anyone would be proud to own.

Take a look at the pictures and email me with any questions. I would be happy to show you the Bronco if you can make it to Bend, Oregon. I have the Bronco for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early. I set the reserve at a reasonable price, please do not ask what it is.

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
