1976 Ford Bronco Custom Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
El Dorado, Arkansas, United States
Up for auction is a 1976 Ford Bronco. It has a good running 302 that looks to be original. It is running off of a one gallon can under the hood just to make sure it didn't get any bad gas. The motor sounds good and runs smooth. It has the original power disc brake setup. It is complete and works, but the front brakes stay partially engaged so the front tires won't roll free. I have not investigated to find out exactly what it is, but it's most likely the master cylinder, or the calipers. It has a 3-speed manual transmission one the column. It shifts good for an original unit. Transfer case is nice and tight and it shifts very well. All the 4-wheel drive works and it's all there. With a little work, this bronco could be driving down the road. The body has rust (pictured). The worst rust is in the rockers. The front fenders were removed by the previous owner. The door strikes and posts are 90% solid but do have some rust through (see pics). The doors hang well and the door posts do not give any when the doors open and shut. The hood and tailgate are both good with minimal rust. The grill could be used with some work. The top is decent. The seams along the rear quarter panels are good. The front floor pans need to be replaced. The rear floors are mostly solid but have some rust in a few of the seams. The frame is solid throughout. This would be a great bronco to restore or use as is for a woods vehicle (once the brakes are fixed). It does come with the wiper motor and wiper motor cover (not installed). Please look at the pictures closely and ask any and all questions prior to bidding. I will answer questions ASAP!! Feel free to ask! Thanks so much for looking and good luck!
I forgot to mention that this bronco has a good working, original, 4-turn power steering setup. |

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
