Ford Bronco 6 Cylinder 1966

Allmän beskrivning : RARE U14 HALF-CAB, UNCUT EARLY BODY, 95K ACTUAL MILES, 170 CI INLINE 6, 3-SPEED!

One of the coolest things about the first-generation Ford Bronco is how modular it is. Take this 1966 Ford Bronco "half cab" pickup for example. With a set of wrenches and about 15 minutes, it goes from cool mini pickup to a fully open 4x4 beach comber. Add a fabric or lift-off hard top and you've got a standard Bronco, and none of it takes more than a few bolts. Cool, right?
The VIN starts with a U14, which means this Bronco has been a half-cab pickup all its life and not a conversion, which was popular back in the day and easy to do today. In truth, the Bronco's modular nature means there's no real difference in value, but the cool thing with this one is that it remains quite honest. In today's world where any old Bronco is desirable, original trucks like this are getting harder to find every day. Code H Sahara Beige with off-white accents is a traditional Bronco look, and it's possible that most of the paint on this truck is original, although there are a few areas that have obviously been touched up. This one doesn't appear to have lived its life on the trails, with straight sheetmetal, excellent rockers, and fenders that are smooth and ripple-free and haven't been modified with oversized fender flares. The bed area now wears a spray-in bed liner and offers modest utility and the ability to go just about anywhere with your cargo. Slim chrome bumpers are about the only shiny bits on the body, but the white grille and tall FORD letters on the tailgate ensure nobody will mistake it for anything else.
The interior is pretty stock, with a wide bench seat that's wearing a brand new seat cover. It's basic, make no mistake, but that's part of the appeal of an early Bronco. Rubber floors, metal door panels, and that all-business dashboard are all about function, not style. Simple gauges and rudimentary controls are that way on purpose to ensure nothing goes wrong when you're far from home, and the big steering wheel gives you plenty of leverage on the trails. It has a 3-speed manual transmission with a shifter on the steering column, while the lever on the floor controls the 2-speed transfer case, an integral part of any Bronco's spec sheet. An AM/FM/CD stereo head unit seems to be the lone component that isn't stock, but I bout anyone will complain about that little detail.
A smooth and reliable 170 cubic inch inline-6 lives under the hood, and we strongly suspect that it's the original engine for this truck. Nicely finished in Ford Blue with a correct air cleaner a few signs of recent service, it runs quite well. It does show signs of use but no evidence that it's been banging around off road, and pretty stock specifications means that it's reliable and easy to service. Recent service work includes a new clutch, new seals in the transmission and transfer case, a full tune-up, and a complete fuel system service, all of which makes it reliable. A single system with a stock muffler gives it a pleasing 6-cylinder grumble and with a front disc brake conversion, it feels confident on any surface. Standard steel wheels with hubcaps (those hubcaps are EXTREMELY rare and are probably worth quite a bit by themselves) look great and carry fresh 15-inch whitewall radials that are exactly the right choice.
Early Broncos are still the most fun you can have playing in the dirt, and while this one isn't perfect, it always pays to buy good base stock and upgrade as you go. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
