Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"They're are a few imperfections on the vehicle, including a small area on the front grill where the paint is chipped, the back bumper also rubs on one side but it doesn't squeak and isn't noticeable until you look for it. There is also a small amount of rust on the very bottom of the body under the driver side door, but again is only noticeable under intense observation. The hood has two small dents in the center about halfway to the windshield. These were caused by the air intake protruding from the engine, these are also barely noticeable. The transmission has a very slow fluid leak, normally a drop every few hours. To fix this leak would involve dropping the transmission, so I feel that adding a little transmission fluid every now and then is a cheaper fix."

My family and I have had this vehicle in our possession for over 12 years. Most of that time we kept it in our barn at the house, and used to around the house and to run to town and back every now and then. Keep in mind the vehicle was still stock at that point, with the original 302 and manual 3-speed transmission. It was only 4 years ago that we decided to have it restored. Over the next 3 years our Bronco stayed at a custom vehicle shop in our hometown, where it was completely tore down to the frame, painted, and every old and worn out part was replaced, including the engine and the transmission. We decided to go with the beefed up hot-rod style, so that's where the Ford 347 Stoker engine came from. Complete with fuel injection and a dual air intake, this combination spits out a hefty 430 horsepower and 400lb of torque. Complementing this hog of an engine is a Magnaflow exhaust system, that makes it very obvious to anyone around when you pull out on the highway. But enough about just what's under the hood, this Bronco is decked out from head to toe. Starting at the front, we have a custom front bumper made for the 8000lb winch, controller included. The front axle is a Dana 40 complete with air-lockers, and in the back there is a Ford 9" rear end, also with air-lockers. The transmission is a Ford C6 automatic 3-speed which delivers even more low end torque. Transferring all this power is an Atlas Breaker transfer case, which enables 2-high, 2-low, 4-high, and 4-low; Traction for any occasion. In the area of traction we decided to give this beast a lot of it, and we accomplished just that with the 33" by 13.5" Dick Cepek Mud Country mud terrain tires. Around the all steel body the vehicle has all of its original decals, including the chrome 302 decal on both of the front fenders. Chrome running boards make the jump into the vehicle a little easier. All of this and we haven't even gotten to the interior. We replaced the original seats with two Corbeau racing seats of front, and a Corbeau bench in the back, all black leather. Protecting whoever is inside is a roll cage, just in case. Attached to the top of this roll cage is a weather proof, powder coated speaker box containing four 6'' by 9'' Marlin speakers, and behind the back bench seat is another speaker box with two 10'' Marlin subwoofers for the base notes. This can be accessed by a line-in cord running from the back speaker box and comfortably reaches the drivers seat. The entire interior floor is rhino-lined black. I mentioned earlier that there is a few imperfections, like most restored vehicles. There are few spots on the Bronco where the paint has either chipped or rubbed away. The chip on of the front grill and is smaller in size than the average pinkie finger nail. On the back left side of the vehicle the back bumper rubs the body and has rubbed a small area of paint away. And at the very bottom of the body under the driver side door there is a small amount of rust forming, but again it's virtually not visible when standing right next to the Bronco. Lastly there is a very slow transmission fluid leak, normally a drop every few hours. For a leak this slow I don't personally feel the need to drop the transmission and check the seal, but simply add a little fluid every now and then. Please forgive the dustiness of the interior, I happen to live on a dirt road and it is just too much to keep clean from day to day. I will gladly have the entire vehicle detailed upon purchase. In simple words this is a good solid and dependable truck, very collectible, it has tons of power and sounds great. If at all interested I still have the original 302 engine and manual 3-speed transmission that we took out and I am willing to sell those as well. You can contact me by email at tlwalkerlaw@aol.com, and my cell number is 1-713-829-5070. If you would like to wait till this add ends and make a deal not involving ebay that would be fine. Payment will have to be made in cash upon delivery or pick up, or wire transfer will also be accepted. I will be able to deliver within a 500 mile radius of Jasper, Texas.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
