302 V8- appears to becrate motor, as Coyotemetal plate on drivers side,but unsure how long ago it was replaced- total miles on the Broncois unknown

- 3 speed manual- Original column shift, hree on the tree
- Dana 44 Front axle -stock, his is a late 71 built in August of 1971 after Fordswitched to the stout Dana 44
- 9" Rear Diff
-Stock 4:11 LS gears (limited slip, tock Trac Loc) A3 axle code.

-True dual exhaust with headers

-Aluminum Mickey Thompson valve covers
-Original stock steel wheels- rear tires will need replacing soon, ront have tread but also some cracking. Stock size of 235/75r15
-Manual steering/original steering wheel - originalFord horn buttontherebut the plastic retainer is broken so it does not stay on- this is a couple dollar part.

-Stock drum brakes on all four wheels- not the best brakes, ut I have gotten used to them.
-Body is in good shape. some small dents here and there but nothing major and this is a pretty straight body, hat you see is what you get- appears to only have one repaint since new- Bahama Blue- has a lot of character as it sits. Some portionsof the paint areburnt through or cracked from sun. I like the way it is since it is rustic and tells of it's age. I thought about going Fast N Loud style and just clear coating it.

-Original hard top included, ppears to just be surface rust in the gutters, mall dent on the rear as seen in pic.Inside of top has been painted black.
-Reupholstered front seats, ook very nice. The rear seat is from a Jeep with Corbeau seat cover (loose and needs to be bolted down)
Herculinercovers the entire interior floor. New floor pans in the front driver and passenger side.
A lot of NEW parts within the last month or so: Spark Plugs, istributorcap, otor, Taylor spark plug wires, ewcoil, ew radiator hoses, hermostat, rive belt, uel filter,fresh oil change. Also just flushed the entire cooling system and installed a brand new high flow aluminum water pump.
Original CA Blue plate vehicle- CLEAN title in hand and current registration paid through May 2016!

Dash padis cracked but it is original I believe. You can buy a cover for it or remove completely.

Rust has been cut out from what I can tell. Has patch on right inner fender panel, ew floor pans etc. Cowl and firewall are solid, s are the door posts and door sills. Does have some small rust holes at the base of fenders as seen in the pics. Floor pans have been replaced and appear they were laid over the top of the old ones.

Driver and passenger mirrorsare worn out and don't stay in position for long.

Auxiliary gas tank was pulled from the truck and is missing sending unit. It will go with the Bronco and also has the metal skid plate.

Gauges stopped working, ut the odometer and speedometer still work.A brandnew temp gauge was added when coolant flush was done.

2bbl carb was taken off a 72 Bronco with the heat induced choke. This is currently not hooked up-It ran fineas is here is CA so I never messed with it.

Has headers and true dual exhaust, ruck is loud and headers have been patched. Permanent fix would be to weld or replace. I liked the sound so never got around to fixing.Dipstick tube is bent and needs straightening or replacement. Radio does not work, peakers are not hooked up.

I have used the Bronco just to drive around town and never had it on the freeway.Goes through the gears fine. I never took off road in the time I had it. Keep asis for a piece of American history, r restore and make into a $30K+ Bronco. If I can think of anything else I will add it later but I've tried to give all the details I can think of. Overall, his truck is solid and does not appear to every have been wrecked since all panels, enders doors etc. appear to be the original color. Aside from the cut fenders, his truck is pretty stock and has not been highly modified which would make for a driver as is or restore to your liking.

Bronco is listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold in person before end of auction. $1000 deposit due within 48 hours of auction close.

I will also throw in Tom's Bronco braided stainless steel brake lines for the front two drums, believe they run around $50 for the set. Also, n looking at the starter and alternator they appear to be fairly new based on appearance alone. I also put in a brand new ground cable when the tune up items were completed, s well as new radiator cap. The odometer reading above is slightlylower that what I had down, t reads65,806

As mentioned above, his is an American classic that gets a ton of attention. Is the truck rust free, o, ut as mentioned above, s far as I can tell the rust has been cut out and or patched or replaced with new panels. I was just inside the bronco and noticed the kick panels appear to have rust holes at the base where they meet the floor pans, hich were painted over by Herculiner when the entire interior was lined.Also seemetal patches are in place on the front inner fenders wells wheredirt/mud hits when splashed up by the wheel. You could leave as is, r buy any replacement panels needed online.I was told that the original owner had this Bronco up until about4-5 years ago when he gave it the his grandson. The grandson supposedly started fixing it up with the reupholstered seats, ustrepair etc. He then sold to the guy that I bought it from, o that would make me the 4th owner if the story holds true.Again, f I think of anything else I will add it so bidders have all the informationpossible that I can think of. I love this Bronco but it's time to let it go to a new home. I wish the bidding well! Take care
