FOR SALE to the highest bidder - my 1971 Ford Bronco.
It has a clear title and current Calif. reg. through April 2014. Winning bidder is responsible for pick up or shipping arrangements.
It has a freshly rebuilt 302 V8 motor less than 250 miles ago.
New pistons ( engine block bored .030+) and rings, cam, cam bearings, lifters, timing set, rod and main bearings -( crank machined - .010 and .010.) , new freeze plugs, valve guides, valve job done, all new seals and gaskets, oil pump, oil and temperature sending units, thermostat, water pump, radiator rodded and boiled with pressure test, new heater core, radiator and heater hoses, new coolant recovery system, new belts, rebuilt starter and alternator, 2 barrel carburetor rebuilt with electric automatic choke added, new fuel pump, fuel filter with all fuel lines and tank filler hoses replaced, new air cleaner, PCV valve, coil, spark plugs, spark plug wires, MSD electronic ignition distributor. New clutch assembly. New front and rear drum brakes, new shocks front and rear and a new steering stabilizer. New Painless Wiring kit, specific for Ford Bronco. Virtually the entire wiring system has been replaced including the wiring loom in the steering column. The sending units in the gas tanks tested within normal limits, so I didn't replace them, both work and switch on the dash with the manual tank switch at the base of the front driver's seat. All fluids were drained and replaced and all zerks and bearings were packed or lubed. The previous owner had replaced the 3 speed transmission with a 4 speed NP435, it shifts great. Transfercase is a Dana C20, front differential is a Dana 44 with warn hubs and rear end is a Ford 9 inch. Drivelines and Ujoints are good, no vibrations and feel tight. The truck has dual exhaust glass pack mufflers, tires are BF Goodrich and are fair. Paint is ok for a 42 year old vehicle with what appears to be one re-paint, it used to be green. It does have chips, scratches, faded spots etc... some call it "Patina". I have a brand new complete weatherstrip kit for the doors and top,( from Tom's Bronco Parts), that will be included with the sale. I replaced both driver and front passenger seat foam rubber cushions and installed new upholstery kits, the rear seat looked ok. I installed new door latches, window cranks and rear hatch struts plus many, many other little repairs and fixes. It doesn't have a radio, but the Painless kit wiring is all there, very well marked and ready to go. The dash had been cut for a stereo at one time, so I covered the hole. The only thing that isn't hooked up is the horn button, as I didn't have all the necessary hardware for it. This is a very sound rust free body, no rust out anywhere, just a few surface rust areas in the floor boards that I could see. Someone layed fiberglass mesh on the front floor boards, it could be replaced or redone, maybe Herculiner or something like that. Please see the pictures showing the inside and also the under carriage. This little truck is really fun to drive and gets looks and comments wherever I go. Ready for camping, beach , hunting, you name it.
If you have any questions please email through ebay and I'll try to answer as soon as possible. Thanks for looking. Vehicle is sold AS- IS.

The electronic ignition distributor is a Mallory and not MSD. Also, it will have a few more miles on it by the auction's end, as I am driving it. Thanks for looking.

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
