 1971 Bill Stroppe prepared Baja Edition Bronco, rust free, highly optioned very nice Bronco.  This Baja is on the Baja Bronco Registry and is a highly optioned Baja. It had all of the standard options. Saginaw power steering (present), Stroppe lettered automatic transmission adapter (present), padded steering wheel (not present), Stroppe Deluxe roll bar (present), trailer hitch (not present), dual shocks (present), cut fender rear wells (present), trimmed front fenders (present), spare tire cover (reproduction), and front bumper braces (passenger side present).  In addition to the standard package, this Baja has a very cool Stroppe installed hood scoop. 

I found this Bronco painted green and the interior was brushed with asphalt emulsion.  It was horrible to remove but kept the original floorboards rust free.  The Bronco was given a paint job using Dupont Chromabase materials.  All the chrome, the bumpers, and all the lenses were replaced.  The suspension parts and axles were removed and all parts were powder coated when possible, otherwise painted.  A 2 1/2" suspension lift was installed with all new poly bushings and 8 new shocks.  The frame and underside of the tub were thoroughly cleaned and painted.  I found some vintage American Racing slotted aluminum wheels, had them polished, and put 32x11.50 BFG All Terrain tires on.  The seat springs and frames were powder coated and new foam and upholstery was installed.  The dash was painted its original parchment color and the pad was replaced.  

The engine compartment was cleaned, painted, the gaskets were replaced on the motor.  New valve covers, air cleaner, and exhaust have been installed.  Many other things have been done to this Bronco such as a larger after-market fuel tank and a dual motor wiper conversion kit.  A few custom touches have also been added to this Bronco.  Bronco Design Roadster style door inserts were installed with custom belt line chrome added to the inserts.  Bronco Design rear flares were put on, custom rivet-style bolts were used, and hood pins were installed to give it a super clean look.

Running gear on this Bronco is all in excellent condition.  The transmission shifts beautifully and the 351W is very powerful.  2 1/4" exhaust with glass packs makes this Bronco sound unbelievable.  This Bronco draws a lot of attention at car shows or driving down the freeway.  It looks and runs amazing, however it is 1971 technology and it's lifted with wide tires and a short wheel base.  Every time I take it out, it takes me a minute to get used to driving it.  Additionally this Bronco sits in the garage most of the time.  It has always run great for me but I only take it out a few times a year.  It's being sold as-is with no warranties.  The fuel gauge has stopped working properly.  The needle moves when you turn the key on but stays on E.  The rear main does drip a little bit due to sitting.  The radio is just a face plate only,  I did not need an AM only radio but like the clean look of the original.

This Bronco has performed excellent for me but I have only driven it to local car shows and parties.  The paint is about 5 years old so some rock chips and normal wear and tear has occurred.  Feel free to give me a call with any questions or to come take a look and drive it.  My number is 360-921-4278. 

Seller is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping.  My house is very near I-5 and there is a truck stop 5 minutes from my house for easy pick-up.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
