No reserve auction on this California titled 1973 Ford Bronco. This is a great little driver with mostly original paint and interior. Very reliable, and an absolute blast to buzz around. Many upgrades went into making this a daily driver, while still maintaining the charm of an original looking truck.
At the heart of this truck is a rebuilt 302 with plenty of power. 871 miles since the overhaul, this motor is strong. The engine bay is beautiful with no rust or rot. Fires right up with upgraded push button start. New upgraded distributor with HEI, new MSD wires, new plugs. New Holley 4 barrel set on top of upgraded aluminum Weiand Street Warrior Intake. All new linkage. New gauge cluster. New fuel pump and filter. New gas tanks. She's meant for daily use. New headers with new mufflers. She has a healthy rumble, but not too loud. You won't set off car alarms but you'll know its a built 302 when you put your foot in the carpet. Power disc brakes up front with brand new booster and master cylinder. C4 automatic trans with nice shifting manners. Dana 20 transfer case. Brand new BFG KO2s on OEM wheels and extremely clean original hubcaps.
The body is in nice shape. A few touch ups over the years but mostly original paint. The hood was repainted at some point but it matches fairly well. The patina on the truck is just awesome. Theres a couple minor bumps and bruises but nothing worth repairing in my opinion. This truck is meant to be driven and enjoyed. It gets plenty of attention at cars and coffee, and thumbs up everywhere I go. A good polish would revive the paint and chrome but I like the way it looks now. The interior is mostly original and in good shape. The houndstooth fabric on the seats is very cool. The carpet was replaced and the retractable seatbelts were removed for cleaning while pics were taken. They will be re installed prior to sale. The headliner is in great shape and the vanity light is operational. The seats are comfortable and the ride is smooth for a bronco. The ride height is great on the road and plenty of clearance if you choose to venture out. There is a bit of cloudiness in the passenger lower corner of windshield, as well as some older sealant in present in that location. Bronco windshields are easily replaced. The glass is flat and the rubber seals are reproduced by multiple sources. I don't mind it the way it is, planned to wait for a big rock chip or crack before replacing. The black plates in photos will not come with car, a set of September 2020 tags come with car, registration was just renewed. This is a CA smog EXEMPT vehicle.
This is a 46 year old truck and it will show signs of its age. Please do not expect a brand new vehicle upon delivery. Old cars and trucks that are not 100% restored will come with little issues from time to time. Most of this truck is sorted out and it drives excellent, but its not a perfect restoration.
