1977 Ford Bronco In New York City, Rust Free Ca Early Bronco Sport on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:79000
Location:

Brooklyn, New York, United States

Brooklyn, New York, United States

This is a 1977 Bronco with Automatic C4 transmission, Power steering, Power disk brakes and a strong 302 V8.
Pros- Rust free CA car, driven to NYC from Bay Area, in December. Garage kept for its few short months in NYC. 
The Bronco ran great on the drive, did not leak or burn any oil. 
New Holley 350 2 barrel carb.
New 12 Gallon Auxiliary tank with electric switching valve. (Has never had gas in it). 
New Fold and Tumble rear seat. 
23 Gallon main tank. 
3 inch Wild Horses lift kit. 
33 Inch Yokohama tires with plenty of life. 
Wiper motor lowering bracket. 
4X4 works great, hubs lock and unlock with ease, drove great in the storms over the last winter. 
79,000 miles on odometer. I dont know most of the history of this truck, but the condition is good enough that I think it is accurate. 
Besttop softop in decent condition. 
Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn 11211.  
This truck drives like a car. Automatic transmission, power steering and disk brakes have almost made me forget how brutal the earlier models were, with the 3 speed on the column and no power steering. A completely different animal. 
My 100 pound wife has no problem jumping in it and driving it all over NYC. (Yes, for those of you who have seen her driving it around Brooklyn, thats her, and no. She is not part of the sale. Im doing my best to keep that one :-)

Cons- 
 Does not come with the Hardtop. ( I actually think thats a good thing. Finding a place to put the top when you take it off has never been easy!)
 Hazard lights and front driver's turn signal are not functional. Hazards just stay solid and turn signal socket is broken. I havent had time to deal with it.
 Slight leak on Transfer case; you can see a light coating of oil on the bottom of the case.
 No A/C.
 No stereo.
 For clarity- when I say no rust I mean there is no body rot anywhere, I see a light coating of rust on the leaf springs and the u joint knuckle, and a few other places on the underside. I would cover it with undercoating if I were keeping the truck, but I knew Id be selling it, and I didnt want to hide anything from the next owner.
  Paint - a good ten footer. Looks great until about 10 feet away, then you see things like cracks and bubbles in areas on the hood scoop. Overall it looks good, but it is by no means perfect.

The 11 most expensive American cars ever

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
