I am reluctantly selling my 1974 Ford Bronco. According to Bronco lovers, my is rare and highly sought after. It's has all original 302 ci 2 barrel carb with power steering. Everything is original down to the plug wires. I did change the spark plugs, oil changed, and cleaned the carb because it was running rough. Now it runs like new again, literally. Don't take me for my word, you'll see. I'm selling the Bronco because I moving my family to California and I'm having to sell off some toys.
This is an original 27,800 mile Ford Bronco, and I am the first and only registered owner, with all the documentation to prove what I claim. This Bronco was used as a Lot truck at Bo Bueckman Ford off of Manchester Rd. in St. Louis until the late 80's. It was used to service and jump used and new cars, run parts, and clear the lot of snow in the winter. The service manager there still recalls the Bronco. The Bronco sat for years on their lot, until it was sold to Suburban Auto in 2004, and finally put up for sale to the guy I bought it from. That guy never paid the Mo State taxes on it and therefore did not register it. I paid the State Taxes and got a clear title through Department of Revenue, and learned I'm the first and only registered owner.
GOOD and BAD.
GOOD:
Everything is there, Everything! except for the original seats. Everything works as it should, turn signals, dash lights, speedo, heater, ECT, ECT, ECT..... The tranny is perfect, the suspension is solid, and the four wheel works great and tight, and the steering is easy. It still has the 1970's equipment that Bo Beuckman Fords put in it to jump the cars on the lot. The snow plow works up and down.
BAD:
It sat so long and was probably never washed. The body is rusted and every panel needs attention, but the frame is solid. I took pics of the body, but I'll be the first to say it's rusty.
This truck is amazing and needless to say a barn find. I won't get the chance to restore it, but the person that gets this I hope will. If you need any more pics or have any questions, please email me. I can make a short video if needed to make the deal.
Keywords: 4x4, four wheel drive, survivor, project.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
