1996 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
For sale is my 1996 Ford Bronco. I bought this truck from the original owner years ago. I installed a 6" Superlift kit with the Extended Radius arms. This kit alone was more than $3,000 not including labor. I had it installed by Southwest 4x4 here in Albuquerque. I also had them change the gears to 4:11's front and rear for more get up and go, and 35" Dick Cepek "Fun Country" tires (I trimmed the bumper myself with a sawsall and I've yet to have anybody see it and not think it's a factory bumper. I also had TRUE dual exhaust installed by a local exhaust shop. The truck haS 97K miles on it and the 5.0 multiport injected Mustang V8 runs STRONG and SMOOTH. With the addition of the lift kit and new springs it rides like new, is tight, and feels awesome. The hard top in this light blue color looks horrible so I got rid of it and ordered this custom top from Texas Tops. I couldn't tell you how many times people stop me to ask about this truck since I put the top on. Also installed are a Cobra CB radio and a stereo with a boom box, sound is excellent. I am including as many pic's as possible because I want everybody to see how immaculate and clean this vehicle is... WITHOUT even a trip to the car wash - this is just how it always looks. There are no leaks, no rattles, no problems. There is a burn hole in the seat, a large but repaired chip in windshield, and a small crack in the dash. The tires rub on really really tight turns but it's not a problem. I changed the gauge cluster out because I wanted to have A tachometer. At the time of the change the vehicle had about 90K miles and the odo in the "new" cluster was reading 153K. So you need subtract about 63K miles to be accurate. I just had the vehicle serviced at a very reputable garage, including diff changes, tranny flush and fill, oil change, 4 wheel alignment, etc. This vehicle is very very reliable, drives straight and true, and you could easily plan a cross country trip or an off-road safari without fear of mechanical problems. THERE IS NO HARDTOP OR REAR SEAT, I was going for more of a jeep type of vehicle instead of an SUV. This Bronco will surprise you it is so fun to drive. With the 5-speed tranny and V8 engine, along with the 4:11 gears, it feels like you are driving a badass 5.0 mustang GT, it's that strong. And 4x4 capabilities are amazing.. it's got the clearance, the power, the wheel base, and the pedigree to leave Jeeps crying. I am selling this truck to make room for a work truck I just bought on Ebay myself, it was a quid pro quo deal I made with my wife. :(

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?
Thu, 18 Jul 2013A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Vehicle performance tests are serious business, with reputations made or broken by things like braking distance, top speed, and lateral g-forces. King of the metrics, though, is the 0-60 run, which for unknown reasons has become the benchmark for what truly makes a car a performance machine.
Now, Chris Harris from Drive has turned the whole idea behind the sprint to 60 on its ear. Taking a new Ford Fiesta ST, Harris asks a simple question: would the ST be quicker to 60 on its own, or on a trailer being towed by a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG?
It's a fair question, really. The Fiesta Harris tested hit 60 in 7.2 seconds on a slightly uphill section of runway. It should be noted that Harris quotes his ST at 182 horsepower, which is about 15 ponies less than what we're getting in the US, so these numbers might not hold up all that well against an American model. The G63 AMG, meanwhile, is a 536-horsepower monster, powered by a twin-turbo V8 that, able to propel the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds without towing a Fiesta.
2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
