1979 Ford Bronco 4x4

Hello,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Dan Profitt and I am an avid motorsport enthusiast and have been playing with cars, trucks, and other toys for over 22 years. I am not a dealer and I am not a "flipper" in the traditonal sense. When I see something of interest, I try my best to buy it, maybe play with it, maybe add to it, or maybe just sell it and market it to the correct crowd.

That being said, this is one of the nicest 79 Bronco's you will find on the planet! There are not too many people that have been taking the time and spending the big money on restorations of old Ford trucks. This particular Bronco restoration started out as a 99 percent rust free example and is now truly stunning! The paint, trim and body are awesome! I have pictures of the truck in various states of the restoration for the new owner. Now this is not a 100 point truck as it still could use a few items here and there to make it perfect, but any new owner always wants to change or improve a new toy! The Bronco has been driven about 2,000 miles since to complete body off restoration. It is lifted with large tires and wheels, so it does not drive like a Cadillac and is not quiet like a Cadillac by any stretch. It is rude and crude as 70's engineering dictated!

I have attached 76 high resolution photos for you to take a look at. Below is a quick list of details of the good and the bad, but I will let the pictures do the talking in this case. Please remember that I just aquired this Bronco, so I am sure I will miss some things, but you will get the point. Please remember that restorations like this do not come around often and if you try and restore one or hire one out yourself, well you know you can spend 40K in a heartbeat.

Aprrox 2,000 miles on complete restoration
Most all componants new or rebuilt
Rebuilt (w/shift kit) C6 trans
Completely rebuilt 460 .30 over (Heads are stock spec, but cleaned up)
Aluminum intake
Holly 650 dual feed
Rebuilt NP 205 transfer case
Rebuilt 9 Inch rear axle
Rebuilt Dana 44 front axle
4:10 gear ratio front and rear
Mickey Thompson 15x12 Classics
Mickey Thompson Baja Radial 36x14.5x15
New carpet
New seats
New trim
New radiator
New heater core
New windshield
New 6 Inch lift
New bumpers
Top is has been smoothed
New ceramic coated headers and exhaust
Frame has been powder coated

The few things that need attention are:

Steering wheel could use a new center piece or replaced.
Heater does not work. Most of the system is new, but does need some work.
Gas gauge does not work. Tank and sending unit were new. I was told power is still to the sending unit, so it is expected that it may have failed.
Radio is present, but not hooked up. You could not hear it anyway over the tires, exhaust, electric fuel pump, and general road noise!
Switch on dash for rear glass does not work, the rear on the gate does.
Could use two exhaust hangers fabricated and the end of the run.

Now for the boring stuff! The Bronco will not leave my possesion until full complete payment has been made and cleared. No exceptions! I will take certified funds or a wire transfer, but as I mentioned, a certified check will need to clear 5 business days before the Bronco leaves! The buyer is responsible for shipping and the cost associated. I will assist with making sure the Bronco is safley loaded. The Bronco is currently tucked away safe and it is not super easy to gain access to, so needless to say I will have to pre-qualify potential buyers before any inspections. I encourage you to look at it in person or have a third party perform an inspection at your cost, but please be serious. I will not disclose my reserve and I am not interested in any trades, just cash! Please let me kow if you have any questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Obviously there is no warranty expressed or implied. If you have no feedback or feedback under 10, please contact me before bidding. Now....Please enjoy the pictures!

Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
