Equipped with Dick Cepek / Mickey Thompson, Tom's Bronco Parts, and James Duff top of the line components with a new NAPA strong running 302. Everything has been done right without being overly modified. "Almost over the top" but still fit to drive on any highway as well as do all the off-road stuff these original Broncos can do with style. Hardtop in good condition with stand, CD shop manual and "Bronco" fender protector included. VERY minimal rust, especially for a 40 year old classic four wheeler! You can expect to turn heads, get a lot of "thumbs up”, smiles, waves, honks, etc... pretty much every time you take "Groot" out. You'll never get tired of it. This is an honest example of the final and finest baby Bronco produced. (Yes, that's a Heron that wandered up behindhim in the final picture. Somebody's always checking him out...)
