You are considering a VERY NICE Ford Bronco2. The paint is three years old with some minimal rock chips (see pics)due to the aggressive tires. Prior to the new paint, the Bronco was very straight with minimal rust. One small patch in front of a rear wheel and some around the wheel openings. The under body was very clean. This Bronco has a very slight lift, I believe 2 inches and the front wheel wells have been modified slightly to accept wheels. The Transmission was rebuilt two years(+-) ago and I believe the warranty goes with it. Some of the work done to this unit in the last four years(some paper work to support this...not all) New PW and door lock motors, drive shaft, windshield and waterproofed the interior, brand new matching tire and wheel spare, Front brakes and shocks. If I remember right I had some gaskets on top of the motor replaced. New headlights. It does have an updated stereo. I'm sure I'm missing the nickel and dime items. The engine seems to be strong for 120k. no drips on the garage floor and no smoke out the tail pipe. It hasn't been drove since fall and sat during the winters while I owned it. What the bronco could use is some interior work but was acceptable to me. The radiator could use replacement, yet I have never had a problem(leaks when it's full?) I have never had it replaced because the truck has always screamed 302 but that never took place. I do have the original factory wheels and spare tire cover. Also the original owners guide. I believe everything is in working order including A/C and 4x4. REMEMBER>>>This Bronco 2 is 25 years old and will be sold as is with no returns so please have a mechanic check it out before buying!! I will be happy to send additional photos or ask any questions on this truck. A $500 non refundable deposit will be required upon buying. THIS BRONCO2 IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AND THIS MAY BE CANCELLED AT ANY TIME! Good luck. A TRUE SURVIVOR!!!

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
