 1970 Ford Bronco: Amazing survivor, Rust Free, 302 V8, Factory build sheet (the original) and a great story.

I am a Ford dealer that restores Broncos and Land Cruisers—I’m constantly on the hunt for either an all original restoration project or a resto-mod project. This Bronco is neither—I purchased it from a gentleman in Jacksonville, Fl., thinking it couldn’t be as nice as it looked in the pictures and would be a good project for me—I was wrong. He purchased it from the grandson of the original owner. I would love to know the full story of the original owner and how he came to own and preserve this 1970 Bronco. I have yet to be able to make contact with the grandson. But this is what I do know. The miles, at 33,648 are original, and that fact is obvious. There is no rust other than minor (very minor) surface rust on under-body components. This is the original color and much of the paint is original paint. This Bronco model had the bench seat (seating 3) and a bulkhead behind the seat (with spare tire and wheel attached) with a full bed behind that. I pulled out the spare for the photos. When I purchased the Bronco, the bed, the interior side-walls and rear inner-fenders were covered with a foam-backed carpet, which I removed, revealing a pristine, un-dented bed. The top appears to have never been removed. From what I was told, the owner was either a professional or amateur gemologist. He used the vehicle to engage in his hobby. I was also told this took place in Montana, Wyoming, or thereabouts. The owner knew how to protect his vehicle from rock and water damage—he strategically placed sheets of metal over the inner fenders, against the frame and anywhere else rocks, salt, etc could get to his precious Bronco. IT WORKED. I have left the metal in place so that the next owner can see it, but it is easily removed with a straight screwdriver. All I had to do to get this Bronco in top shape was to replace leaking axle seals, replace the brake shoes and replace the gas tanks (yes, it does have the dual tank option). The engine runs very well with no smoke, hot or cold. It rides and drives like it did when new. The clutch engages exactly the way it is supposed to and the column shifter is silky smooth. The dash, the seat (original vinyl), inside the glove box, the headliner, the floor mat, under the seat, under the hood---all like a time capsule. The only interior modifications are a small hole drilled in the center of the dash and a grab handle installed beside the glove box. There is an OEM trailer hitch installed on the rear bumper and was probably done so when the owner purchased it new (it uses the factory bumper bolt). If you want a Bronco to restore, don’t buy this one. To restore it would be to ruin it. If you want one to drive, enjoy, show in a car show and get thumbs up from every gray-hair you encounter—buy this Bronco. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at my dealership at 423-639-5151 and leave a message. I will call you back. Or, send your questions or inquiries to Lennie@gatewayfordmazda.com.

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
