Gorgeous blue 70s machine with low reserve!

Just finished doing a 6 month long paint/body/interior/exterior restoration

Rebuilt 302 V8 Engine with approximately 20,000 miles - runs strong. Dual
exhaust. Electronic ignition. Four barrel Edelbrock  carburetor with 4
barrel intake.
The engine sounds & runs
great, plus it has just a slight performance lope at idle
The engine does not smoke.
New battery this month
Power Steering

3 Speed transmission with Hurst floor shifter upgrade. Fun to drive. Trans
feels good thru all gears

Dana 44 Front Axle  and Dana 20 Transfer Case, 9” Rear axle
Axle gear ratio decodes to the optional and desirable 4.11 Limited Slip

Suspension lift approx 2.5”

New paint

New interior

The gauges work

lights & signals work
Doors close well
glass not cracked, side windows roll up and down
Wipers ok (reinstalled since photos)
Current odometer reading is in the 20,000 range. I assume this to be
120,000 miles but again, it is a 1972 so... just an assumption. The
mileage on the restoration work is what is listed above, 0 at time of
photos.





The body on this gleaming 70s beauty was just redone with a gorgeous clear
coated finish with PPGs Bay Roc Blue Poly, a correct color for Ford
Broncos from 1972. The paint has been color sanded and buffed
It was totally disassembled for paint, ie: The grill was pulled off, all
lamps removed, fenders pulled off, doors removed, all door glass,
hardtop, tailgate removed, hood removed, etc. Body was stripped to metal.
The front fenders showed some age so they were both replaced new with
quality OEM style steel ones from Toms Bronco Parts. Rocker panels were
replaced, inner and outer. Front floors replaced. This work was all
performed by a competent body shop and was NOT a cheap job. It was done
in base coat clearcoat 2 stage urethane (2:1 ratio urethane clear), and
then color sanded and buffed to the glossy finish that you see in the
photos. The body is straight. The dash was painted at the same time,
along with the interior door jambs and doors inside. There is a spare
tire carrier, painted in the same shade of blue. Hood was pulled off of
the vehicle and painted separately, as were spare tire carrier, tailgate,
and license plate bracket. Grill painted in argent. The floors and inside
of tailgate were sprayed with a black spray on bed liner throughout.
Engine compartment painted in black. (Note: Some pictures were taken
before the wing/vent windows were correctly installed as they are now).
Full steel factory hardtop available with new white paint.
New hardtop weatherstrip and door weatherstrip also included.

Interior upholstery all new. Front bucket seats (original bronco buckets)
were rebuilt with repainted seat frames (in black) with new foam and all
new parchment covers. Seat centers were done in a textured material
similar to original Ford Bronco seats. Front door panels were made new to
match. Rear bench seat (original) was reupholstered with armrests in the
same quality material.

New chrome bumper. Chrome headlight rings, chrome grill letters with
custom painted red centers. New signal lenses.
Drivers side mirror new chrome, with additional passenger side chrome
mirror installed.





This has been a fun truck for me, picked up my Christmas tree in it and
I’m gonna miss it. Just in time for you to enjoy it for summer.

Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
