Up for auction is a 1971 Ford Bronco with half cab. It has a 170 cui inline 6 motor with 3 speed column shift manual transmission. This bronco is mainly stock except for the lift kit that was installed by the previous owner and a new wiring harness that I had installed a few years ago. It sits on 33X12.5" tires with Rancho suspension. I hate to sell it but I have not had time to work on it or to enjoy it. It should be with someone who can.
There is very little rust, just some minor rust on windshield and top. There is some minor surface rust on floor and inside of hood but nothing major. I believe the pictures show the condition very well. The wheel wells and floor panels are solid which is quite rare for these trucks. The interior is in pretty rough condition as far as missing carpets and dash being in rough shape. The windshield motor is not installed but I do have it and the cover, but I have no idea if it works or not.
The engine fires right up but could use a rebuild or at least a tune up. It is pretty impressive that it runs as well as it does. It is 42 years old after all and I do not know if it has ever been rebuilt. The transmission is in similar condition. I believe it needs a new clutch, but it does work. the steering and brakes are manual. No luxuries here. The last time I started it the brakes did not work. I think they may just need to be bled. The steering's gear box is showing some wear so there is some play in the steering. This bronco has dual gas tanks that can be switched over by a valve below the drivers seat. I believe the sending units are out because the fuel gauge does not work.
I am by no way a mechanic so these are just guesses on the condition of the vehicle, but this would make a great project with the condition of the body being so good. The mileage is unknown since the gauge cluster has been replaced a few times. Bronco also comes with some extra trim as well as some other parts. Do not really remember what is all there.
Bronco is located in Milbank, South Dakota. The Buyer is responsible for shipping charges. Payment is to be made via cashiers check, or cash in person. Once payment has been cleared, a clear title will be provided, along with a bill of sale and the vehicle will be released for pickup or delivery. A $500 non refundable deposit via Paypal is required upon auction end.
If you have any questions, please contact Eric at (605)-228-7143. I will be happy to answer any questions and I apologize if I forgot to mention anything. Thank you for looking. I believe the new owner will be very happy with it.

BMW to follow Honda back into F1?
Mon, 14 Apr 2014The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.
Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
