1976 Ford Bronco XL Description

The last year of a great one!
1996 Ford Bronco XL - the desirable, hard-to-find base model with 5-speed (five speed) manual transmission, rubber mats, and four wheel drive.
VIN - 1FMEU15NOTLA52635. Clear Virginia Title. (For some reason eBay Motors was not recognizing VIN, so here you go. See photo of door jam below for confirmation)
A very solid, well-maintained vehicle that runs and drives well. 245,000 miles.
Has the famed "convertible" top on the bed - removable for spring and summer fun.
Used sparinglyof lateas a once a week driver to the weekend house (a 70 mile round trip). Hauled loads of firewood, pulled a small trailer, moved furniture, had fun in the snow. Cruises comfortably at 60 miles an hour with good stereo, great heat and defrost, and everything works.
Specific details - pros and cons:
PROS:
* Engine and transmission are very strong. Starts first time every time. Shifts well. Four wheel drive strong as an ox.
* New factory-spec crate engine was installed about 60,000 miles ago. Runs like a top.
* Very clean cloth interior - amazing. NO stains, tears or fading. No dash cracks. Clean floor. Clean headliner - no sagging! Even interior dome light works!
* Power back window works perfectly.
* Impressive aftermarket stereo with box speakers and amplifier. Clear and strong!
* All power options work as they should.
* Hearty clutch. Good action and plenty strong.
* Great heat, defroster, fan.
* Entire brake system recently re-done. Stops on a dime.
* Very recent tires.
* Original owners manuals
* Roll-up windows - when's the last time you saw those?!
CONS:
* Typical Bronco rust - see photos. Heavy in the wheel wells and well-underway in edges of bumpers.
* Paint is fading - clear coatactively peelingon hood and roof.
* AC equipment is all there - but has not been charged in years. Should work, butcan not be sure.
* Small leak in transmission - easily repairable, just haven't needed to. Does not effect function.
* Speedometer just stopped working yesterday.
* ABS light on-did not clear it when we re-did brake system
* One crack in windshield -only thing that would keep it from passing Virginia inspection.
* Driver's door handle does not work from the inside - reach out the window old school style!
