1973 - Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Ferndale, Michigan, United States
Ford : Bronco Sport First, let me just say that you'll get a very honest opinion of this Bronco and feel free to check my over 2,200 all positive comments in my feedback profile. Secondly, I'll be up front and tell you that this Bronco was up for 29K and I ended up purchasing it as a frame off restored, "turn key" vehicle. Here's what really irked me and needs to be finished: The gauge cluster was rebuilt, but he speedometer was obviously not hooked up The high/low light switch is just dangling by a wire and needs to be mounted (see picture) The rubber seals needs to be installed on the doors The driver's door doesn't have an arm rest (I was supposed to receive it in the mail, but nothing has come) The back seat has no arm rests (Also supposedly in the mail) The new gas tank wasn't tightened down (I'll tighten the strap myself) A knob fell off on the floor (I'll put that back on with an allen wrench) I'd repaint the doors, as they are a shade off the rest of the truck The emergency brake wasn't hooked up (he told me it just needed to welded back on the frame) He didn't attach the passenger side wiper arm (I do have it thankfully!) I know this is all small potatoes stuff for those who love, drive and fix Bronco's, but I'm only the first two of those things and thought I was getting a truck that was thoughtfully restored. Quite honestly, it seems to have been slapped together for a quick sale. What a shame, it's really a nice truck that should have received better treatment in the restoration process. Okay that written, here's what was done in the restoration process: New Original color Sequoia Brown base/ clear coat paint 302 with Edelbrock intake and 4 barrel carb B.C. Broncos shorty headers with Magnaflow exhaust B.C. Broncos A.C. Rhino Lined floors in matching Sequoia Brown color Newly recovered parchment colored front and rear seat New windshield and rubber New Rampage "spice" colored soft top Custom front and rear bumpers with tire carrier Pro Comp Wheels and BFG AT2 Tires 31" HID Projector Headlights with angel eyes and devil eyes New Parchment seat belts Wild Horses 3.5" suspension lift and 1" body lift New "ventless" hood New tail light, turn signal lenses and rebuilt gauge cluster New window track and felt kit from Wild Horses Rebuilt Vent Windows Power Disc Brakes As you can see in the pictures, this Bronco was a frame off restoration and the frame was beautifully powder coated and you can see how solid the body is, including the uncut fenders! The motor runs strong with no leaks or smoke and she starts, stops, shifts and tacks down the road with no issues at all. It runs so great and has so much potential, I was considering taking it to Brian at Build a Bronco in Albion and asking him to finish the truck and put a hard top on it. In fact, I do love all the options, including the brand new air conditioning unit, power disc brakes and power steering, as it's a tough combo to find in the early year Broncos. In addition, there's all new bushings on the front end, the hood was actually installed with nice hydraulic lifts and the interior looks great. Someone who is willing to do the finishing touches will certainly be getting a Bronco that worth well into the 30's, as it will need nothing once it's finished.

Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards
Sat, 06 Jul 2013More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
