1983 Big Bronco that we've owned for over 10 years. Was daily driver until youngest son left for college. Most everything has been repaired, replaced or rebuilt over the last couple of years. Excellent daily driver that is also excellent off road or in the mud.

A few more details - as far as we know this has been an Oklahoma / Texas truck since originally sold in Edmond Oklahoma.

Rust - None that I know of. There was some rust on the passenger front floor which was cut out and replaced, and the tailgate was rusted (pretty common for this model). The tailgate was replaced with a new tailgate from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard before the truck was re-painted. One dime sized rust bubble in rain guard rail.

Dent's & Dings - It's a 30 year old truck so there are some - body is not perfect. Dent on passenger door upper frame from it being pushed when closing. Front bumper dented from someone putting a tow strap around it to pull someone out. There is also a dent on the passenger rear quarter where the spare tire support hit it when being opened.

Mechanical - Motor and Transmission rebuilt within last 1000 miles. New drive-shaft and u joints at same time. Rebuilt carburetor, rodded radiator, new fuel pump (2), new water pump, new brakes. Six inch lift, with new shocks and springs and 35" pro-comp mud terrains - probably 2000 miles on those. A/C all original and working, Radio / speakers / amp all aftermarket. Transfer case, front hubs, differential and front end all original. The one thing that will need attention, that we just never got to is the front end - it's loose, and while the steering box has been replaced she needs new tie rod ends, ball joints and bushings in the front end.

Interior - The interior has been re-done - the flooring was replaced with rubber floor from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. The quarter panels in the rear were re-done covered with vinyl and the seats are covered in saddle blanket aftermarket seat covers designed to fit this model. Dash also has a new dash pad cover that is hard to distinguish from the original.

NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years

Wed, 01 May 2013

While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
