1974 Ford Bronco SUV Red 4WD Automatic Ranger
1974 Ford Bronco Ranger
Vehicle DetailsI bought this Bronco from a well-known & highly respected restoration shop in Statesville, NC. It was ordered new in Los Angeles California and spent the vast majority of its life in Barstow California and Phoenix Arizona. Rust free, all original panels, floors ect...never had metal work. Previous owner had it since 1989.
The Bronco is powered by a 302 V8 backed by a C4 Automatic transmission in great running order. Bronco has a true dual exhaust, updated electronics and carb. Truck will do 65 mph down the road without issue.
The suspension and drivetrain have been built to handle off-roading in the western deserts. Built Ford 9-inch rear with 4.56 gears and locker, and built Dana 44 with 4.56 gears and an Eaton Tru-Trac make up the axles. Rancho Quad shocks front and rear along with a 4-inch lift and BFG 35x12.5R15 tires mounted on Enkei wheels help this Bronco over rough terrain.
Interior is in good shape and everything works as it should. The dash has all the factory gauges and controls in good working order along with a vintage Stewart- Warner tachometer. The modern radio and speakers work great. Dash pad does have one crack visible in the photos. The center console is a very cool vintage Igloo Cool Rest!
Body is in good condition and has zero signs of rust, look at the photos of the floors! The body lines are straight, the doors, gate and hood open and close nicely. The red paint is older and not nearly perfect, somewhere 6-7 out of 10. The Bronco would need a repaint to be near perfect but the current paint is more than sufficient for a weekend driver or adventure rig.
The Bronco has spent most of it's life as an older gentleman’s off road toy in the Arizona desert. It was very purpose built and loved. Truck is setup to thrive on any weekend adventure.
Many additional photos available upon request.
