Sounds good and drives super straight down the road with 2 fingers on the steering wheel!Always garage kept! I acquired this Bronco in 2013 and put a total of 2000 easy miles on it since then, mostly my 10 mile run up/down the San Diego coast. Offered with a Deluxe Marti report, service records, spare parts, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.The Limestone Green Metallic paint could be original as there are no signs of a re-spray. Has the desirable Sport Package with all of the extras; deluxe interior, door panels, mirrors, A/C, swing-away rear tire carrier, dual gas tanks, and chrome front and rear bumpers. The rear fenders have been cut and white rear flares have been installed.Engine built with a mild with a cam, roller rockers, forged pistons, etc...currently had 2 barrel Autolite carb. Runs very clean! No cloud of smoke behind this Bronco. Sounds like it should, nice rumble with a mild cam lope! This Bronco is a head turner and conversation grabber everywhere I go. What I like, and others seem to like; this is a Bronco with a mean stance, amazing original Ford (rare) color, original drive-train, original in most every way; gauges, mechanical wipers, interior, etc...and it feels authentic! If you want a quiet, smooth EFI modern engine, super plush brakes, digital gauges, plush hi-back seats, spotless underside, show Bronco or a Resto-Mod Bronco,etc...this is not the Bronco for you. If you want a true 1970's muscle car/truck feel, and you are into authentic look and originality, and a lot of attention...this BRONCO is the one for you.Documentation to the max! Comes with a 3 inch thick binder full of docs! original sales brochure, all service records, engine build specs, complete transmission re-build less than 1000 miles ago, etc...

Full disclosure on my Bronco: There is rust on the bottom left corner of the tailgate. This was a common problem as water would get trapped here. Repairable for sure, as the rest of the tailgate is perfect. Or, you can buy a new tailgate $479 @ Toms, or Wild Horses made with the original Ford die/tooling. Passenger window frame has a break in the post needs a tack weld, window still functions fine, some minor paint wear, chips, and scratches however at 20ft looks new! Front bumper has a slight bend in it. Has some a very minor oil seep from valve cover gasket, resolves itself once engine heats up. Probably needs some Permatex gasket sealer.Engine running video here https://youtu.be/ePRwA7-HeKs Please ask for any other videos or picsNote, buyer to arrange pick up by May 13th, 2024 from Carlsbad, CA.
