1974 Ford Bronco
Background:
This truck was purchased by my father and myself around 2004 out of North Carolina. We started restoring from the ground up and finished it around 2007. It is essentially a frame up restoration, except we did not strip the frame because it was already in great shape. In 2011 the title was switched over to my name and I have been using it as a daily driver since. It has always been kept under cover, except for the last 2-years.
Modifications/Accessories:
- 302 motor built by Lloyd McCleary. Lloyd has been featured in many Hot Rod Magazines and was famous for his Nascar motors. He has since gone out of business (not due to the quality of his work), but we were lucky enough to get one of his motors prior to their closing.
- Ported and polished
- all performance part
- aluminum heads
- roller rockers
- Edelbrock carb
- MSD Ignition system
- Edelbrock RPM Air Gap Chrome intake manifold
- I watched this engine turn out 460 HP on the dyno when we went to pick it up from Lloyd.
- recently had the top end re-done with all high end parts and reusable racing gaskets
- all new light plastic and trim
- white soft-top
- white bikini top (not shown in pictures
- door inserts (not shown in pictures) painted to match
- 3.5" Wild Horses Suspension Lift
- new chrome bumpers
- front bumper is starting to loose some chrome plating
- wired for in dash-stereo (unfortunately there is not one currently installed)
- 6x9 marine grade speakers in Tuffy speaker boxes
- Tuffy lock box/tool box behind back seat (not shown in photos)
- Duff brand floor shifter for factory 3-spd transmission
- brushed aluminum trim for door panels, dash, shifters, etc.
- Duff brand "twin-stick" shifter for 4x4 (makes life easy)
- Front disk brakes
- power stearing
- Warn locking hubs
- tachometer
- and so much more..... too much to list
Comments:
The paint job is incredible. There is a very small amount of rust at the bottom of the driver door. This rust accumulated when I had the doors in storage (I had the door inserts installed at the time). It has not been repaired but is completely unnoticeable unless you know where to look. I have included a picture of this.
There is a very small dent in the hood. I included a picture. This small dent happened when a mechanic left something on the wheel well and closed the hood. the dent sticks upwards. It is an easy-cheap repair.
This Bronco has tons of power and looks awesome! Whoever gets this will have a very nice Bronco that turn heads constantly!
The rims are starting to develop some rust inside the dish of the chrome rim.
The tires are worn. Buyer will need to equip with new tires.
Lastly, the speedometer has recently stopped working. all other gages work in the cluster (fuel, temp, oil pressure, alt charge)
Thank you for looking and goo luck!

Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
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.
Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]
Wed, 09 Oct 2013As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.
