1973 Bronco
The good: Original rebuilt 302 with headers. Power steering, manual drum brakes. Dana 44 front, 9" rear. 3.50 gears. No leaks...well maybe a few drops of oil here and ther, but nothing major like most Broncos.
New interior with recovered seats and new carpeting. Includes newly covered back seat. New paint. New fuel tank. New steering wheel.
3 speed manual, new exhaust, new bumpers, new heater core, new exterior trim, light covers, etc. All new weatherstripping and window seals.
The car was originally green. I did not paint the interior floor or engine bay. I do have three cans of matching blue paint in spray cans that I planned to spray the engine bay, just never got to it.
I added a photo of the floors taken before I installed the carpeting to show how solid they are. I do have the complete rear spare tire carrier pieces. They were painted blue to match the car if you want to install them. I didn't install because I don't like the look. The holes are still in the body for adding these. Tires are newer and have good tread.
The bad: Steering is a little loose, but tracks straight. Steering column wires not connected, so horn and blinkers don't work poperly. Blinker switches have been added to dash, so blinkers do work, just not connected to original switch. Body is rust free, but there was some rust in the passenger floor board. This was not removed, but another floor pan was installed on top of the original. Overall solid floors. Rocker panels were replaced and door posts are very solid.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
