I purchased this from the grandson of the original 1970 purchaser. Approximately 1000 miles put on it since 1991 (maintenance sticker is on the door dated 1991 with 32,500 or so miles logged; the grandfather passed away shortly after). Always garaged since new. Grandpa used it for rock hunting hobby in Wyoming (only in the clear weather times). He also had an International 4x4 truck that was used for most transportation & some rock hunting.
There is a wood shelf mounted that Grandpa had for his dog to sit on behind his head (can be removed). A grab handle is on the passenger side of the dash which was for Grandma to pull herself into Bronco. Grandpa also must have discovered black spray sealent as you can see in the engine compartment. Sealed any possibility of air leaks around all cables, etcetera. He also kind of shielded areas where rocks might grab in the tires, fly up, scratch or dent the underside. As mentioned he'd go 4 wheel'n to look for his rock gems. Where there's rocks there's pebbles which get caught in tire tread & fly. He probably had more rough ready tires at that time. The 4x4 hubs lock/unlock and works. The floor 4x4 engager is stiff, but gets all ranges. 1000 miles since 1991 needs some lube spraying for sure. No water leaks, overheating, or oil smoke (at start up or driving). All gauges work correctly. I have not tried the tank switch yet (not sure how it works but will read up on it). Everything works (lights, roll up windows, forgot to push horn to fry-will report when know). Glass is almost perfect with the windshield having two BB/stone spots on the passenger side, but all clear/no cracks/no fogging/no seperation. According to the grandson, the top has never been off and the windshield has never been down. The rear hatch lift window & tailgate work as new. Locks all work.
Has two gas tanks, the original jack parts/spare, some small parts, two old type flares, four oil filters/old oil cans & an old fashoned magnetic trouble light. The original air cleaner assembly is included (original carb was replaced).

Other pictures are available including one of the original air cleaner (in excellent condition), engine, wheel wells, more floor areas, etc. Two locking gas caps w/keys are in parts (previous owner/grandson liked the blue painted caps. Grandson said he changed oil-filter. He drained the water system for most of the storage period after he inherited it. He added new antifreeze to the empty system a couple weeks ago do to selling decision. That decision was due to divorce. Other new items: shocks & fuel pump.

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
Ford unveils Mustang 50th anniversary logo, plans merchandise
Tue, 26 Mar 2013The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.
Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.
