Up for auction is my 1974 Ford Bronco SUV with a strong running 302 V8 engine and automatic transmission. This is an excellent driver quality bus that can be enjoyed without worrying about the rain, mud, door dings, etc… I ill be honest, the paint looks much better in photos that it does in person; it was a pretty amateur paint job but still looks good. It would benefit from a professional wet sanding / buffing procedure. It was repainted the original bright blue metallic.
Mechanically this bronco is in great shape. It has a new braking system, with a new power disc brake booster, master cylinder, and proportional valve. The front end was recently rebuilt with new polyurethane bushings. It also has a new carburetor, new distributor, new wiring, new gas tank, new radio, and a rebuilt automatic transmission.
It has power steering which works great and again power brakes. It has dual exhaust and dual fuel tanks. It runs very well and always starts right up. The radio is functional and sounds good. The gauges are functional. The exterior lighting is working properly as well as the backup lights.
The interior is in great condition with excellent upholstery. The floor pans are solid and painted body color. The body isn’t perfect but straight and pretty solid. As I mention the paint isn’t a 9/10 more like a 6/10. Looks great from 10’. In effort to close the doors they must be shut fairly hard. The door glass rolls up and down easy. It has a desirable hardtop as well as the factory roll cage. The undercarriage is in good shape, no rot present. There has been a couple patches to the floor pans underneath. The frame is solid.
This bronco runs and drives good. I haven't had it out of 75 and I’m not sure it would be the best ride at that rate of speed. Runs well and handles good at 35-45. The tires are in good shape. The chrome bumpers have been touched up with “liquid chrome” which doesn't look great, but better than no chrome at all. There are 100 photos posted so please take time to study all of them as I have taken the most honest photos I could have.
