 1971 Bill Stroppe prepared Baja Edition Bronco, rust free, highly optioned very nice Bronco.  This Baja is on the Baja Bronco Registry and is a highly optioned Baja. It had all of the standard options. Saginaw power steering (present), Stroppe lettered automatic transmission adapter (present), padded steering wheel (not present), Stroppe Deluxe roll bar (present), trailer hitch (not present), dual shocks (present), cut fender rear wells (present), trimmed front fenders (present), spare tire cover (reproduction), and front bumper braces (passenger side present).  In addition to the standard package, this Baja has a very cool Stroppe installed hood scoop. 

I found this Bronco painted green and the interior was brushed with asphalt emulsion.  It was horrible to remove but kept the original floorboards rust free.  The Bronco was given a paint job using Dupont Chromabase materials.  All the chrome, the bumpers, and all the lenses were replaced.  The suspension parts and axles were removed and all parts were powder coated when possible, otherwise painted.  A 2 1/2" suspension lift was installed with all new poly bushings and 8 new shocks.  The frame and underside of the tub were thoroughly cleaned and painted.  I found some vintage American Racing slotted aluminum wheels, had them polished, and put 32x11.50 BFG All Terrain tires on.  The seat springs and frames were powder coated and new foam and upholstery was installed.  The dash was painted its original parchment color and the pad was replaced.  

The engine compartment was cleaned, painted, the gaskets were replaced on the motor.  New valve covers, air cleaner, and exhaust have been installed.  Many other things have been done to this Bronco such as a larger after-market fuel tank and a dual motor wiper conversion kit.  A few custom touches have also been added to this Bronco.  Bronco Design Roadster style door inserts were installed with custom belt line chrome added to the inserts.  Bronco Design rear flares were put on, custom rivet-style bolts were used, and hood pins were installed to give it a super clean look.

Running gear on this Bronco is all in excellent condition.  The transmission shifts beautifully and the 351W is very powerful.  2 1/4" exhaust with glass packs makes this Bronco sound unbelievable.  This Bronco draws a lot of attention at car shows or driving down the freeway.  It looks and runs amazing, however it is 1971 technology and it's lifted with wide tires and a short wheel base.  Every time I take it out, it takes me a minute to get used to driving it.  Additionally this Bronco sits in the garage most of the time.  It has always run great for me but I only take it out a few times a year.  It's being sold as-is with no warranties.  The fuel gauge has stopped working properly.  The needle moves when you turn the key on but stays on E.  The rear main does drip a little bit due to sitting.  The radio is just a face plate only,  I did not need an AM only radio but like the clean look of the original.

This Bronco has performed excellent for me but I have only driven it to local car shows and parties.  The paint is about 5 years old so some rock chips and normal wear and tear has occurred.  Feel free to give me a call with any questions or to come take a look and drive it.  My number is 360-921-4278. 

Seller is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping.  My house is very near I-5 and there is a truck stop 5 minutes from my house for easy pick-up.

Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.

Entry-level F-150 now offers SuperCrew, Sport Package

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Ford has made a few notable tweaks to the lower end of its F-150 lineup, giving customers a more affordable version of the four-door SuperCrew body style. The popular SuperCrew could previously only be had on XLT models and above, but Ford has announced that 2014 F-150s with the base STX trim can get the more versatile body.
The STX SuperCrew brings the price of a four-door F-150 down from $34,525 to $33,145. Like the XLT SuperCrew, the STX will be available with the choice of a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed, while a 5.0-liter V8 can replace the base 3.7-liter V6 for $4,425. Ford has not released pricing on the different bed lengths yet, but opting for the 6.5-foot bed on the XLT raises the price $1,240 and forces buyers into the 5.0-liter V8. We'd expect a similar arrangement on the STX.
The other big news for fans of affordable pickups is the addition of an STX Sport Package on the base-level truck. It adds 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, black-and-gray cloth seats and decals on the truck's box. The Sport Package is available on all three of the STX's body styles, with Ford listing the price as $980 with current discounts.

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
