1966 Ford Bronco Beautifully Restored 60,100 Miles *no Reserve *free Shipping on 2040-cars
Andover, Kansas, United States
|
THIS IS A VERY NICELY RESTORED 1966 FORD BRONCO. IT HAS BEEN GONE THROUGH FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. IF YOU WANT A BRONCO THAT YOU CAN ENJOY DRIVING THIS IS IT! IT RIDES SMOOTH AND TRACKS STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAS A FUEL INJECTED 351 IN IT, THAT WAS REBUILT WHEN INSTALLED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. THE ENGINE STARTS EVERY TIME AND RUNS STRONG. THE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAME OUT OF THE SAME 94 F250 IT SHIFTS THROUGH ALL GEARS SMOOTHLY AND NEVER SLIPS. ALL EVIDENCE (TITLE, ODOMETER, HISTORY) SUPPORTS THAT THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 60,100 MILES. OBVIOUSLY, I CANNOT PROVE THIS THOUGH. THIS DOES HAVE POWER STEERING AND REAR DISC BRAKES ALL THE BODY WORK WAS DONE 4 MONTHS AGO. THE RUST BETWEEN THE REAR QUARTERS WAS FIXED, AND THE ROCKERS WERE REPLACED. THEN THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS PAINTED THE GUNMETAL GREY COLOR. THE PAINT IS GLOSSY AND BEAUTIFUL, BUT NOT PERFECT. THERE IS A COUPLE OF SPOTS BETWEEN THE BODY PARTS THAT COULD HAVE USED A LITTLE MORE WORK. THEY JUST SHOW AS A SLIGHT SHADE LIGHTER THAN THE BODY COLOR. AT THIS SAME TIME THE ROLLBAR AND BUMPERS WERE ALL PAINTED GLOSS BLACK. THE INTERIOR IS ALL BRAND NEW, AND HAS NEVER BEEN WET OR SAT IN THE SUN. THE CORBEAU SEATS ARE VERY COMFORTABLE. THE DASH WAS JUST PAINTED, AS WAS THE FLOOR. THE DASH PAD IS FROM TOMS AND WAS PUT ON A WEEK AGO. THE CONSOLE IS A LOCKING STEREO CONSOLE. IT IS A LITTLE OLDER BUT WORKS AND LOOKS GREAT. I WAS GOING TO REPLACE ALL THE KNOBS AND BEZELS, BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. IT HAS A LOCKER IN THE 9" REAR END. THE FRONT IS DANA 30. THE HARD TOP IS STILL PAINTED SILVER AND HAS NOT BEEN RESTORED. I WAS GOING TO RHINO LINE IT WHEN I DID THE INTERIOR BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW WITH MAYBE 50 MILES ON THEM. THEY ARE 33X12.5R15 MASTERCRAFT MXT. THESE TIRES ARE VERY SMOOTH AND QUIET, ESPECIALLY FOR A MUD TIRE. 4WD WORKS PERFECTLY, AND IT HAS EASY TO TURN LOCKING HUBS. THE 9000LB WARN WINCH IS REMOVABLE AND IT SLIDES RIGHT INTO THE BACK BUMPER WHICH HAS BEEN SET UP WITH POWER HOOK UPS AS WELL. EVERYTHING IS TIGHT AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS. WHAT I WAS STILL GOING TO DO BUT HAVE NOT: RHINO LINE THE INTERIOR NEW BACKING PLATES WERE MADE FOR THE DOORS WHEN IT WAS PAINTED AND I HAVE NOT ADJUSTED THE HINGES SO THE DOORS CLOSE FLUSH. THEY STICK OUT JUST A BIT. IT IS SLIGHT SO I NEVER REALLY SET OUT TO FIX IT. THERE IS ONE SPOT ON THE PASSENGER KICK PLATE THAT HAS A HOLE IN IT. I TOOK PICTURES OF IT. NO CURRENT RUST, BUT NOT REPLACED EITHER. THE FRONT DRIVERS CORNER IS NOT QUITE LINED UP JUST RIGHT. IT IS SLIGHT BUT I TOOK PICTURES OF IT. GLASS IN THE HARDTOP IS ALL VERY GOOD, BUT SOMEONE PUT TINT ON IT AT SOME POINT THAT IS PEELING OFF AND IS KIND OF UGLY.
LIKE I SAID THIS TRUCK IS NOT PERFECT, BUT IT IS SOOO CLOSE, BUT IF YOU WANT AN AWESOME TRUCK THAT YOU FEEL YOU CAN DRIVE EVERYDAY THIS IS IT. IT KILLS ME TO SELL IT. PRICE IS $22,500.00 + FREE SHIPPING WITH BUY IT NOW. FREE SHIPPING TO THE LOWER 48 STATES ONLY, AND WHEN BUY IT NOW IS USED ONLY.
$500.00 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION END. THE REST DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS. CASH, CASHIERS CHECK, OR BANK TRANSFER ONLY. I HAVE TAKEN 95 PICTURES SO THAT YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING. BUT, IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR JUST ASK I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE AND SEND YOU A PICTURE. I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO DESCRIBE EVERYTHING ACCURATELY TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE IS 50 YEARS OLD. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID. THIS IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AS WELL, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY.

eBay Find of the Day: 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype
Wed, 08 May 2013Over the last decade or so, competition in NASCAR has led to some pretty funky looking racecars. And when the sport was still up and coming, the tight competition actually led to some interesting production cars. The Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird are perhaps the most well-known cars of the sport's "aero wars" era but the Ford Torino King Cobra might have been the most memorable of all, if not for some different homologation rules established in 1970. The Torino King Cobra never made it to production and never competed in NASCAR, but three examples exist including this one now for sale on eBay.
Designed as a successor for the aero-tuned Torino Talladega, the Torino King Cobra has a sleeker front end with hidden headlights and a sloped nose. As the story goes, NASCAR made a rule change in 1970 requiring 3,000 of the vehicles to be produced, which was substantially more than the 500 units required by the previous rule. One of the three prototypes ever built - and the only one built with the Boss 429 engine - is now for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $500,000. With a little more than three days left on the auction there are still no bids, but in the grand scheme of things this seems like a relatively fair price for a rare piece of automobile and racing history.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
