1977 Ford Bronco Sport, All Original, Uncut Fenders, Rust Free on 2040-cars
Tempe, Arizona, United States
|
Up for auction is a super clean, rust free 1977 Ford Bronco with the coveted Sport package, factory 302 V8, finished in light copper with white vinyl buckets and bench. I purchased this Bronco a few years ago from the second owner. The truck spent most of its days in Denver Colorado where it was used by the original owner who loved to go fishing and bird watching. He drove it only occasionally and never touched the original features of the truck. The rear fenders remain uncut from the factory. The driver and passenger floors were professionally replaced with OEM style floor pans and the fit is perfect. The original driver side floor pan was rusted through with a quarter size hole in the flat part of the floor. The passenger side was very clean with mostly surface rust but I had both sides and decided to pay to have them both replaced. The shop that installed the new floors finished the entire rest of the truck floor with black POR 15.
This truck has 72,919 original miles as documented by the working odometer and Box A (actual miles) Arizona Title. The title is clear and in my name. The truck runs and drives. I would recommend a tune up, new motor mounts, transmission mount, and interior. The original interior is in fantastic shape for a 1977 truck. I do have the passenger side seat, it was left out for pictures but it is included along with the rear bench seat. The top was repainted by a friend, it needs to be color sanded and despite his efforts the paint job was not perfect and I would recommend a re-spray along with the rest of the truck. The rear hatch glass and side glass have been removed and I do have new rubber all the way around for the removable top. The dash pad is new and the door panels are new. This would be a great fun daily driver or show truck restoration candidate. The old truck market is very hot right now, especially for early Bronco's. The Desert Southwest climate is perfect for these rust prone classics and this is a great example. Take a look at the pictures and you will see every detail. There is no rust on this truck, it is clean and solid. If additional pictures are wanted please message me and I will do my best to respond quickly. I have a two post lift in my garage so if you want any detail pictures of the undercarriage that I have not included feel free to ask. I will be available this weekend for picture taking and out of town Mon - Thur next week. If you e-mail me through eBay and would like to talk over the phone please leave a number and I will call you. The truck is located at my home in Queen Creek, AZ but I can accommodate out of state buyers. My office is 15 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and I would be happy to pick you up at the airport and bring the Bronco to my office for inspection. I also have a lift at my office. I will also be glad to help with transportation. I have used Reliable Carriers and they are located close to my office in Tempe. I can drop at their terminal which usually saves you a hundred dollars versus a residential pickup. Good luck and happy bidding.

Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.
UK's Loughborough University improving Ford's 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine
Wed, May 21 2014How much does it cost for college students to study zero emissions vehicles? At Loughborough University in the UK, a new Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) is being built at a cost of a billion pounds ($1.7 billion US). The school has just announce that it will fund a number of grad student positions and is creating a new Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, which sounds like a fun job to us. We're weird like that. There will be a total of four professor-type positions in the new Center, including the chair, all focused on teaching students about low-carbon vehicle technologies, specifically electric and hybrid ones. The school is investing 1.5 million pounds ($2.5 million) for the new positions. There is a bigger picture as well, a 26-million pound ($44 million) Advanced Combustion Turbocharged Integrated Variable-valvetrain Engine (ACTIVE) project, which uses funds not only from the school but also from Ford and others. The point of ACTIVE is to study Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine and "improve further its efficiency and ensure it exceeds 2020 emission regulations." This is already a popular engine for the automaker, and it will need to stay at the bleeding edge of efficiency to remain as important in 2020 as it is today. Loughborough University has been working with automakers on advanced energy technologies for years, for example with Rolls-Royce and fuel cells in 2007 and the Lotus Hotfire engine in 2008. University invests GBP1.5M in advanced propulsion research to advance zero emissions vehicles challenge Loughborough University is investing GBP1.5M over five years in strategic research appointments, inspired by the global challenge to develop the new advanced propulsion technologies required for the move to zero emission vehicles. These appointments reinforce the University's world-class research in low-carbon vehicle technologies, adding new dimensions concerned with electric and hybrid drives. Four appointments will be made, including a Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, supported by a number of PhD studentships. The GBP1.5M investment is part of the University's commitment to the recently announced Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) to support the development of new supply chains for low carbon vehicles. APC is an initiative established by the Automotive Council that will see GBP1 billion of investment from government and industry over the next 10 years.
