Up for sale is my 96 Ford Bronco. The last year for the Bronco so it has the mass air flow 351 instead of speed density system. The 351 runs smooth and is very quiet. Has no exhaust leaks plenty of power. I really do not want to sell it but I have lost my garage space and it is to nice to sit outside and rot.. The Bronco originally belonged to the Washington DC Police dept.. It is too clean to be a fleet vehicle so it must have been a reserve unit.. The wiring for the lights and siren is still under the dash. There is a small hole in the roof where the wiring came through for the light bar. As far as I am aware ford never made a Police package for the Broncos. This one has a very large factory trans cooler and what feels like a shift kit in the trans..I have owned several Broncos in the past and all of them had the small Trans cooler, never saw one from the factory with the larger one like used on the F250-350 trucks.. Also having the 5.8 it may have been a police package or heavy duty package.. Has the quad shocks with front and rear sway bars as well. The tires are practically new and have less than a 1000 miles on them. new walker quiet flow exhaust, All new moog ball joints and tie rods with grease fittings.. New oil pan from ford, "original one the paint was flaking off and started getting rust on it" New fuel tank, New axle "u" joint with grease fittings. new Autolite copper core spark plugs,Ford Motorcraft battery was replaced 2 years ago.. Any maintenance item on the truck that needed replaced I have tried to stay with factory parts.. all power accessories work.. Ice cold A/C, Rear power window goes up and down smoothly ..Currently it has mobil1 synthetic oil with motorcraft oil filter with 2000 miles since last oil change.. The interior is not sun faded and the exterior paint is original with no fade as well. I have always used floor mats to protect the carpet.. I am a non smoker so it has never been smoked in. When I first purchased the truck there was a ford emblem and a bronco emblem on the right rear fender that somebody glued on.. I removed them and they left some adhesive that will need to be removed.. I did not want to try myself, was afraid of messing up the paint.. There are some blemishes as follows: The center consoles blue paint is flaking off showing the original tan color.. I think that is the way it came from the factory.. prob ran out of the blue ones at the factory since this is the last year of the bronco.. The grille has a crack in it as shown, There is a dent right behind the pass side tail light.. there is some rust on the tailgate bottom and the pass side door, There is a small ding on the hood, and on the drivers side door. In certain lighting conditions you can see a outline where the police decals were.. I am sure with a good wax job they will dissapear.. there is a small dent above the tail light.. Overall this is a clean low mileage example of a classic suv that Ford should have never stop manufacturing.. The truck is not museum quality but very clean for its age,I have tried to describe all the major defects, look over the pictures and feel free to ask questions.. sold as-is with no warranties..

2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew
Fri, 15 Mar 2013I'm not normally a pickup kind of guy, but the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor won me over nearly instantly. The street-legal trophy truck - there is really no other way to accurately describe it - is big, brawny and incredibly capable. Let's just say it's every bit the monster it visually portrays. I spent a week pretending I was one of Ford's Baja 1000 drivers, but lacking desert sand, I headed into the local mountains where a mild winter storm had dropped a couple inches of fresh snow on my favorite off-road park. The Ford was, for the most part, practically unstoppable.
Ford offers its SVT Raptor package on Supercab and Supercrew platforms with the five-foot, five-inch bed. The Supercrew I tested rides on a 144-inch wheelbase (about a foot longer than the Supercab). In addition to its cosmetic differences when compared to the standard F-150 - there isn't a young boy on the planet who doesn't think the matte black Ford grille is cool - the Raptor has a 73.6-inch track - nearly seven inches wider than the track on the standard F-150.
After upgrading the F-150 SVT Raptor significantly for the 2012 model year, there are only a few changes for 2013. The list includes standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Hill Descent Control, forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the new matte Terrain color (aka "Desert Storm") option seen on my test model.
Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines
Sat, 23 Feb 2013
It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]
Fri, 30 May 2014Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
