1989 Ford Bronco Xlt Centurion 4-door 1-ton Suv on 2040-cars
Evansville, Indiana, United States
|
You are bidding on a very rare and very cool 4-door Ford Bronco built on the frame of a Ford F350 1-ton truck ... This Bronco
was the precursor to the Excursion, is in very nice condition inside and out, has
always been serviced and is very well optioned (see
description below for a list of all options and mods). The odometer shows 43,245 on it, which from the records I believe is the current mileage on the 460 motor following a rebuild in 2002. The F350 frame showed 125,900 for the mileage in 2003. The body was from a 1989 Bronco and does not have a VIN associated with it. This truck was built as an off-road vehicle so the previous owner didn't care about the interior or a perfect paint job. He had his body man spray the truck matte black over the green and tan factory paint. The interior is nice but not perfect. The seats and dash are the best part, as I personally would replace the carpet and headliner. The body is straight with no rust issues, and the engine runs very strong. The upgrades were done correctly with high quality parts. Everything electrical works as designed. It drives very well, even with the lift and large tires. The title history report shows two accidents, but the only thing carried over from the F350 donor vehicle is the frame and axles. The Bronco donor body had no accident history and is still clear of dents, dings, etc. Photos show the condition the most accurately, so please request them. It's a very cool, rare Bronco!
Additional Details: (VIN: 2FTJW36G6KCA17910), matte black / tan cloth int., auto trans., 43,250 miles shown on odo., this is a very rare FordBronco modified by Centurion Vehicles out of MI into a 1-ton, 4-door Bronco. These were available new through Ford dealer ships, and these were the precursors to the 2000 Excursion. This Centurion features the following upgrades and Options: windshield visor and roof rack, 7.5L 460 big block with side exit exhaust, MSD ignition, K&N air filter, C-6 auto trans with HD torque converter and shift kit, balanced steel driveshaft, F350 1-ton frame, axles and suspension, 2H/4H/4L selectable 4x4, Skyjacker lift kit, 3rd row seating w/ second row bench, power driver seat with lumbar, power front windows & rear window / locks / cruise, tilt steering wheel, interior wood package, overhead console package, towing package with electric brake controller, Pioneer in-dash CD with Rockford Fosgate amp and Infinity 10" subs in custom boxes, alloy rims with 37x12.5-R16 GoodYear Wrangler MT mud tires, over $7,200.00 invested in the mods, not including the F350 or Bronco! If you want some thing rare and unique with the ability to haul 9 people and their luggage this is the truck for you. You won't ever see another one of these on the road or at you local 4x4 show. About Centurion conversion: From the late 1980s through its demise in 1996, the Bronco was also sold at Ford dealerships as a modified 4-door SUV (making it similar to the Excursion or Suburban). These 4-door Broncos were converted by Centurion Vehicles of White Pigeon, Michigan. The conversion involved combining a new club cab short bed F-Series truck with a Bronco body, tailgate and fiberglass top. The end result? A huge, versatile, extremely rugged SUV. In addition to adding a third row of seats and more room, a Bronco Centurion could be ordered using an F-350 as the donor pickup, allowing the Centurion to have such engines as the 7.3L PowerStroke turbo diesel and the 7.5L 460ci gasoline V8. This made the Centurion more appealing to people in need of a comfortable tow vehicle, albeit a faster one. Over time the few of these cars that still exist are rare and valuable, except for the certain percentage of Northern cars that suffered from tailgate rust-out due to poor body paint preparation. The Bronco Centurion could be ordered with options such as a third-row seat that can be folded into a bed, second row bucket seats, a TV with a VCR, and a built-in radar detector.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part one
Sat, Jun 18 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice with a profanity-laden stream-of-consciousness writing style. Parker lives in Hawaii and spends far more time spearfishing than behind the wheel of a car. Jump ahead to Part Two here, and Part Three here. Big Money and billionaire hobbyists and rockets on wheels. Jets belching French color smoke overhead. Balance of power fuckery. Plenty of water on the ground this morning. Absurdly expensive motorcars lined up in the pissing rain. Fast twitch lunatics behind the wheel. Chomping at the bit. Let's go let's go let's go! Race hasn't even started, Ford #67 maybe dealing with clutch issues. Karma? That beautiful bastard Brad Pitt's out on the track, waving the tricolor flag. It's a standing start in "Noah's Ark" weather and the 2016 24 hours of Le Mans is go! First lap takes place behind the safety car, finished in a record setting 8 minutes 27 seconds. Wrong kind of record maybe, but this is the first time I've set my mind to watching the whole damn race. Feel like I'm part of history. 3:00 AM on Kauai, a little too early for life. Sucking down coffee like a maniac. Don't fall back asleep. Got my hands on four hours of rest, how much more can I need? Better be enough for the next twenty four hours. Gonna get kinda punchy toward the end. Jason Statham on the scene. Four feet of solid muscle, non-existent hairline. Lovely wife peanut gallery sitting next to me calls him the "best race car drive in the world." Not sure if she's serious. Toss up, could go either way. Statham's a funny guy. Heir to the Bruce Willis comedy action crown. Really good in the movie where the fat comedy lady plays a spy. Ford's on the road. Problems with gearbox pressure, apparently. Nearing a half hour in and the safety car is still on the track. Hellish amounts of water on the ground, in the air. Visibility is garbage. Getting better. Twitter wags, "Not with a bang but a whimper." Just building suspense. Mother Nature felt like killing some people today, race officials need to dial back the drivers until it dries a tad. Normal inclination would've seen 'em flying, guaranteed early lap wrecks. Sad news for that bloodthirsty part of my lizard brain I try and keep suppressed. Good news for humanity. #12 in the pit for a bit.
Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium
Thu, 21 Mar 2013According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
