Up for bid is this nice 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT. It has NO RUST, and no bondo or filler that we have found. AZ 4X4, has a 351 Cleveland with approx 20K miles on the motor. The odometer reads 74,221, however those miles are actually unknown, as it was owned prior to my dad. The vehicle runs excellent, fires right up with no problems and travels great on the highway. The rebuilt 351 Cleveland was installed in 2004, and has only had 20k miles put on since. As you can see, it does not get driven much and averages 2k miles per year. It is not a Salvage title, it is a class C title which means actual miles unknown. It could possibly be 74k original miles, but its not known. It does have new door panels, new carpet, and new visors. The four wheel drive works, and there are no issues with the running gear. It had new U-Joints installed front and rear in Oct 2012, along with a new rear drive shaft. In Jan of 2012 it had a new cap, rotor, points, and condensor installed, and in Feb 2011 it had new plugs and wires. This year its had a new battery box installed, new windshield washer container and pump. Chrome valve covers, Edlebrock intake, carb, and air cleaner. 4” lift with Bridgestone 33x12.50x15 tires at 75% tread. The vehicle has very minor leaks, occasionally you will see a drip from the tranny, or a small drip from the oil pan, but it does not have actual leaks that need fixed or that cause the vehicle to have to replace fluids constantly. It has MM locking hubs, Dual exhaust with flow masters (sounds awesome), the belts and hoses are all in great shape. It does not have a radio or a CD player in it, the dash has never been cut or altered to have stereo system installed (rare). There is no backseat in this Bronco. It does have a spare tire in the back, but obviously no spare tire carrier on the back, please see photos. It does have the original dash, which does have cracks in it, also note that it does have a split bench seat, with a tear in the seat on the drivers side. The rear window is electric, it does work, however it needs a new switch. Prior to listing the window was tested, it does work, again just needs a new switch. There are very minute small dings on the vehicle, however there is one actual dent on the drivers side door, very small dent, please see photots. Also the rear bumper does have a small dent as well. The bronco has small paints chips, especially behind each tire from rocks on the highway. On the front there is a chrome brush guard, all the lights work with the exception of the dome light, it just needs a new bulb. The side windows on the shell are both sliders, and there are various spare/extra interior parts that will come with the vehicle. On the rear bumper it is missing a license plate light. The wheels are aluminum, 10” wide, and in good shape. It does not have AC, even though it is AC compatible, and the heater works. Again this is not a salvage title, which is a hard thing to find on these older vehicles. It has NO RUST!!! AZ vehicle well taken care of and maintained!!! For someone looking to do a full restore this is the one!!! This Bronco is bad to the bone off road, I would highly recommend putting an experienced off road driver behind the wheel!!! The 351 Cleveland has an extreme amount of power!!!

Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings

Fri, 10 May 2013

Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.
