1968 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Spearfish, South Dakota, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1968 Ford Bronco. I won't call it a barn find, because that term is used to loosely these days. What I have here is an old school bronco that was bought by a man to use to take his son hunting back in 68 and used primarily for that until the original owner passed away, and willed it to his son. He in turn gave it to his son, and I picked it up from the grandson with the intention of fully restoring it.But unfortunately to many irons in the fire, so if I can get enough out of it, I will let someone else give it a shot. Here is what I know about this rig. It has the original 289 V8 and the three on the tree. It starts, runs, and drives remarkably well. It has a dual battery set up, probably to power the 10,000# wench on the front, and the 4 wheel drive unit works fine also. It has rust all around the edges of the outside, as well as on the front floors. Not terrible but yet still there.It is pretty straight as far as the body panels are concerned. The rear tail gait has rust in a couple of small spots, and the door jambs and pillars are in great shape, as well as all the metal under the hood. The truck is complete and all original except for the cut rear fenders. I have not even cleaned the bronco out, because it is still in the same condition the old man left it, meaning it is equipped with many replacement parts that may go bad while out on a hunting trip. Such as tire chains, spare filters, belts, handyman jack hats,gloves,bullets,, and so on. Kind of creepy, but yet kind of cool at the same time. Any way, the bottom line is this old bronco has a lot of potential, and runs very well. The odometer shows 20386. Probably 120386. Please ask any questions you can think of, and I will try to answer them as best as I can. I have a clean and clear title ready for the new owner. Thank you.

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
