• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

Still has the original catalytic converter intact (see photos). Minimal rust, all original sheet metal, original paint, original Ranger decal, original Ranger interior. The 42 year patina on this LUBR is pretty special!

I have spent thousands of dollars focusing on two things, making this truck dependable & driving straight at 70 mph. Please message me for more photos/videos and any questions. Thank you!

All original Uncut 1975 Ford Bronco with PS, PB, 302 V8, and an automatic C4. This is a true "daily driver". An extremely dependable truck that drives straight at 80 mph with one hand on the wheel (I have videos). I put about 1,000 miles on this truck a month. I've gone through it meticulously making it a perfect original truck with a few modern upgrades. This truck doesn't burn oil, doesn't tick, miss, jerk when shifting gears, etc. She's perfect as is for someone looking for a true original truck. All gauges, instruments, dash knobs, wipers, 4x4, etc. work as they should.

- California truck, still has original catalytic converter intact and emissions sticker on valve cover
- Original paint, Ranger decal, and Ranger houndstooth interior
- Strong 302 with original C4 3-speed transmission
- 58k original miles (I drive this daily, mileage could be higher)
- Matching VIN numbers on frame, glove box plate, and door sticker
- Full Marti Report included (text or email for photo)
- New 31x10.5x15 Cooper tires
- Restored original steel wheels back to Wimbledon White, original hub caps are included
- Original hardtop (insulated with liner) and brand new soft top included
- New 2.5 inch James Duff lift, no body lift
- Power steering, power brakes added with front disc conversion
- Dual gas tanks with new center gas tank and sending unit (12 galloons for rear, 8 for center)
- Upper engine rebuild, new cam shaft/lifters/push rods/rockers
- Rebuilt original Motorcraft two barrel carburetor
- Front end rebuilt with new ball joints/tie rods/drop trac bracket/drop pitman arm, front and rear sway bars
- New steering column, steering wheel, and WildHorses Drive shaft (original steering column is available)
- Glove box lock and tailgate lock replaced with matching keys
- Restored FORD grill letters
- Restored original air cleaner
- Retro Manufacturing replica modern radio w/ bluetooth, new dash speaker, new door speakers and a dash USB/audio port (in place of cigarette lighter, which I still have)
- New rear drum brakes and brake lines
- 3 point front seat belts and center console
- New door seals, uppers and lowers
- New fluids throughout including tranny, engine, front and rear diff, radiator
- Restored original instrument cluster from ClassyGauges, reads 100% correct, no speedo flicker
- New speedo cable
- 3/5/7 second Delay switch added to wipers along with new wiper arms, wiper blades, and hood windshield fluid sprayers
- New windshield and seal
- New OEM radio antenna
- New spark plugs, spark plug wires, hood cowl, air vent seals
- New thermostat, heat is VERY hot
- Very small rear main leak, not worth fixing since the transmission is so smooth with low miles
- Passenger door paint started to fade, $300 for fix but I think it adds to the originality

Bump... I'm close to taking it to classic car consignment dealer in town. 44,500 is my price but I'm flexible. Mechanically this thing is as close to flawless as you'll find. Reliable as hell, drives straight at 75mph, doens't burn oil, etc. Thanks

Price reduced to $44,500. Not sure how to update it on the ad!
Updated. Unfortunately only I can update the price in the subject line. But I'm happy to do it. Just PM me if you need it changed again.

Jon, please update it to 14,500 so that I can purchase it.

Thank you! :)
No problem. But you'll need to send the funds directly to me. ;D

Sorry to hijack your thread marcussly27. Good luck on the sale.

Price is now $42,500!!! If it doesn't sell by the end of the month, I'm putting in on consignment at GRAutogallery, the local classic car consignment shop. They have much better coverage both domestically and abroad for classic cars. Thanks

Does that help? Check out the Autotrader link in the top of the ad... it has some much nicer full resolution photos on there.

Hope you got all the money! My 75 will never look that good. I'm trying to route the fuel tank vents properly from fuel tank to vapor bottle to charcoal cannister. Any chance you have pics or diagrams or a good memory of how it all hooks up? I have the original cannister and air cleaner. Any help, comments or suggestions would be much appreciated. God Bless America! Help me make my Bronco great again!😂🤣😂
