You are looking at a 1969 Ford Bronco that was purchased new
at Smyth County Motors in Marion, VA.
According to the previous owner, this Bronco belonged to his
Grandfather, which owned this Ford dealership (Smyth County Motors). At one time this Bronco had Smyth County
Motors and the Ford/Mercury logo on both the driver and passenger doors. You can still see faint evidence of this on
both doors. This Bronco truly has 14K original miles. I have a copy of the
original title dated 1969, Ford owner card, and every Virginia state inspection
paper (with the mileage listed) from 1969-1993.
The last inspection sticker was applied in 1993, so it has been resting
for quite a while. As a result of being driven in a mountain community, this Bronco does have some rust. Rust is located in the leading edge of the floor boards, where the floorboards bend up towards the firewall. Other trouble areas include the front inner fenders where the metal overlaps behind the wheels wells and the rocker panels. The undercarriage (frame, front/rear end, springs, etc.) has surface rust and pitting, but absolutely no rust through anywhere other than the sheet metal mentioned above. The frame is solid. At some point (probably when new), the rear quarters were cut and urethane flares were fiberglassed in so that they looked like they were original. They must have painted these areas with lacquer. The lacquer has not stood up to time as good as the original enamel paint on the rest of the Bronco. The only other area that has been painted, besides the lower quarters, is the right rear corner of the top. It has been spotted in there for some reason or another. At some point someone installed hood pins and a very large bucking Bronco hood ornament which I removed. I left the hood pins but the two holes for the ornament are still there. Other customizations are the roof rack and spot light. Not sure if these are Ford accessories, but they look pretty decent regardless. The light on the spot light works but it is not swiveling like it is supposed to. ***MORE DETAILED PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE AT: http://www.autosportsinc.com/1969_Ford_Ford_Hickory_NC_212441294.veh PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS AND ASK QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. THANKS! The positives on this Bronco outweigh the negatives. The grille, hood, fenders, doors, upper
quarters, top, and tailgate are all without rust, AND are in above average
condition, AND possess the original paint. The original paint is not show
perfect but has plenty of life left in it. Other than the lower rear quarters,
the paint looks pretty dam good for a 1969.
The door jams and tailgate jams look excellent and have no rust. The doors
do not sag and close very well. All the
windows are original Carlites and are in great shape. The dash and dash pad are
original and are in great shape. All paint (both cordovan (orange) and white)
in the interior is original and is in great shape with the exception of the
floors. The original owner had placed
household carpet in the cargo area and it adhered to the floor in certain
places, taking the original paint with it when it was removed. Even the bench seat cover is original and is
in great shape. The steering wheel, horn
button ring, visors, wiper motor cover, and seat belts are original and are in
great shape. It has the original spare
tire/wheel and it has never been run on the road. The original wimbledon white bumpers have
been reinstalled. As a result of being stabled since 1993, this Bronco needed
some TLC to get it running. The
carburetor has been rebuilt. New plugs, plug wires, and points were installed.
The entire brake system has been replaced including master cylinder, wheel cylinders,
shoes, and even brake lines, both metal and rubber (front to back). Both rear
end fluids have been changed. The
transfer case fluid has been changed. The power steering fluid has been
changed. Heater hoses have been changed.
Engine oil has been changed.
Tires are approximately 50% and are nothing to brag about. It cranks, runs, and drives very well. The
driveline has no play. It feels tight on
the road. Mechanically this Bronco is ready to go. To sum it up, this Bronco is definitely not perfect, but it
has some very good qualities. It is very
presentable and a great driver as is. I
would love to keep it myself, but I am lacking garage space for more Broncos. Feel free to contact me, Justin Killian, at
autosports@charter.net or 828-308-7315 if you have questions. You are welcome to view this Bronco in person
if you choose. Please remember older
cars require more time, love, and money. Do not bid if you are unsure of what
you are purchasing. I would rather you
be pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed. FOR MORE PHOTOS VISIT THE FOLLOWING LINKS: ALSO... CHECK OUT OUR CLASSIC CAR COLLECTION AT:

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
Ford 1.0L EcoBoost 3-Cylinder: Autoblog Technology of the Year award finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014As the old saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement." But these days, many automakers are launching powerful, downsized engines that offer similar or better power output than their predecessors, all while offering improvements in fuel economy and emissions. These days, we're seeing automakers replacing eight-cylinder engines with turbocharged sixes, and the naturally aspirated six-cylinder motors are being phased out in favor of potent turbo fours. But Ford has gone even smaller, offering a three-cylinder, turbocharged engine with one single liter of displacement.
Sure, three-cylinder engines aren't anything new - they've been offered around the globe for ages. But Ford's EcoBoost 1.0L powerplant is perhaps the best application the Autoblog team has tested. Gone are the triple-cylinder complaints of yore - this engine doesn't sound anemic or buzzy, and there's healthy power output on tap. In fact, compared to the 1.6-liter inline-four that Ford also offers in the Fiesta, the 1.0-liter is more powerful, while boasting an impressive 45 miles per gallon on the highway.
This engine has already received numerous accolades, including winning the International Engine of the Year award in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The 1.0L EcoBoost will be available in the refreshed 2015 Ford Focus here in the US.
70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
