OK guys, this is an ex-mud racer turned sand toy (well almost). I have owned it for 18 or 19 years. It was originally campaigned as a mud racer from the early 80's to about '89 or '90. I purchased it and set to work rebuilding and further modifying it to suit the sand drag racing and duning use that I had in mind. I have countless hours and cash invested in this little truck and have had it running but never drove it. The motor is a de-stroked (289 high nickel crank) 302 with aluminum rods, forged pistons, Lunati cam and lifters, Weiand tunnel ram, two Holleys etc, etc. The trans is a built C4 with a full manual valve body and an 8" convertor. I have a pair of 16.50 paddles and a pair of 20.00 paddles that are mounted on lightweight steel wheels also. The motor was freshened up many years ago and ran for cam break-in only. It has been oiled down and turned over by hand a couple of times a year since. It is not currently ready to run and I am not going to get it running to sell. The paint was done in the mid 80's and still looks great today! Check out all the airbrush work, even the grill and lights plus the reaper scenes. The truck does need a few things to make it complete some of which are shifter and cable, wiring harness built (minimal in a race car), harnesses (they would be out of date if I had them anyway), gauges installed, fuel pump, etc. Most of the hard work has been done.
This will make someone a great toy with fairly minimal work left to do. I have set a reasonable reserve and will let the auction run it's course. I have described the Bronco fairly and as such am selling it as-is, where-is with no warranty expressed or implied. I take my auctions seriously, please give me the courtesy of doing the same.
Thanks

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day
Mon, 23 Jun 2014"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.
