First, look at all the Broncos that have cut rear fenders.  I'm guessing 75% have the rear fenders cut.  This is a restored 1968 Ford Bronco.  This is not a frame off restoration but is very well done.  289 V-8 with 91,000 (believed to be original) miles.  Rebuilt engine at 85,389 bored out .30 over (tried .10 but could not get the back cylinders perfectly round).  No performance parts were installed, only tried to bring it back to factory condition.  3 speed manual transmission that shifts and pulls excellent.  Clutch replaced and pressure plate resurfaced at 81,000 miles.  4x4 works fine and the truck is a serious head turner.  Replaced both fuel tanks with polyethylene tanks and new sending units.  Interior finished in original style and material.  Frame cleaned, Loctite Rust Extend applied (not rusty, just precautionary), painted black.  Floor pans are original and only had some small pinholes that were tack welded before front section was sprayed with bedliner.  Interior rear section had no problems (not so much as a dent) and was only painted.  Floor heat shield/matting applied before new carpet was installed.  Truck is painted in the correct, original 1968 Ford Meadowlark Yellow as determined by the VIN in 2011.  New door handles, door mirrors, lenses were installed.  3 core aluminum radiator installed.  New fuel pump, carburetor, oil pump and water pump at time of engine rebuild.  Power disk brake conversion installed in 2009 but master cylinder has leaked and caused paint to come off the fender as seen in the pictures.  Flow Masters Dual exhaust and power disk brake conversion are the only items not original to the truck.  It has a manual choke (I preferred this set up versus an auto choke on the carburetor).  Fuel gauge does not work but it has two fuel tanks.  I fill up when one runs out so I never worry about the gauge working.  Vacuum wipers weak so I would replace with an electric conversion. Most of the interior knobs and cables have been replaced.  New Goodyear Wrangler 235/75 15 tires with less than 1,000 miles.  One small oil leak from dipstick tube in oil pan.  I have owned this truck for 12 years and slowly had much of the work completed.  It has a full hard top in very good condition but I did not restore it since I leave the Bronco in the garage with the top off.  I still have some extra replacement parts as I bought more than one of many items such as door seals.  I have the original front drums if you'd like them.  There are a few nicks here but I have tuch up paint for when those mishaps take place.  Insured at $20k through Haggerty Classic Car Insurers and they have to approve the amount of coverage requested.  I would drive this truck across the country without any concern.  It was my everyday driver when I first got it and drove it from Nashville, TN to New Orleans when I moved in 2002 in one day without any problems at all.  It is currently tagged and inspected in Austin, Texas and I drive it about two weekends a month.  I'm sure I've forgotten items that have been taken care of but I think you get the picture.  You can email me with questions or if you prefer, give me a call (985) 774-9609.

Bronco is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime prior to the end of the auction unless the reserve has been met.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you

Fri, 03 May 2013

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
