Hi up for auction is a 1979 Ford Bronco the truck only has a little over 44,000 miles on it. The bronco does have some rust issues that need attended to but is not bad for a 34 year old truck! This would be a perfect Bronco to have restored and put away. The engine is unmolested and everything is there except for the kick down rod so the transmission does not kick down, if you read on the internet you find many people removed them there are a pita to adjust and most people just removed them. The Bronco is the all-wheel drive model. I think the tires that are on the truck may very well be the originals according to the date code and they are not dry rotted and seem to be in decent shape but I wouldn't drive on them real far , the hub caps in the photos are not the originals but the originals will be included and are in good shape. The last owner said that the top has never been off so I never took it off either, the truck has a sunroof that he thought was installed at the factory but I am not sure about that, sunroof and top doesn't leak a drop, and I don't think the engine does either, like most of them did. Does not have air conditioning. The truck has been rust proofed but it still rusted around wheel wells and bottoms of panels and places. frame is good no bad rust issues there. upholstery is very nice but carpet is fading and the front seats seams are just starting to come apart but could be fixed easily.. The rear seat is almost perfect! The back window goes up and down just as it should. Doors are nice and tight as possibly could be, the rubber around doors are in good condition. The dew wipe on rear window has seen better days. The tail pipe is rusted off but will be a very easy fix and the rest of the exhaust looks pretty good, all factory guards are still in place. There is a dent on the rear passenger side and it could be fixed easy and is rot real noticeable anyway " see photo". I have changed the stereo but I have the original one and it will be included with the truck. The truck is 98% original and needs to be babied and restored and it would be a jewel, I wanted to restore it but just find I don't have the time or room to do so. The truck is dependable enough to be a daily driver. Has a trailer hitch and electric brake setup.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
