1974 Bronco Ranger For Sale
I had intended on keeping my Bronco forever but unfortunately life made other plans. I will try to give a detailed and accurate description of all areas both good and bad.
Body:
Original Arkansas truck that has been garage kept and stored winters for as long as it has been in Wisconsin.
Body is rust free other than light surface rust here and there.
It had been undercoated early in it’s life which has really helped with the preservation.
There are small to medium dents on the hood, grill, rocker panels, tailgate and drivers side quarter panel.
It appears as though the passenger front fender had been replaced early in it’s life as there is navy paint under the brown. The brown paint has the same amount of fade and appearance as the rest of the truck.
There are heavy scratches on the hood along with light scratches as would be expected on an original paint vehicle of this age.
I did unfortunately remove the original ranger stripes when my original plan was to restore it rather than keep it original. I do have original rocker trim molding if the buyer wants to use that rather than purchase new stripes.
Overall this truck presents itself well.
Mechanical
Odometer shows 82,449
Mostly all original mechanically
302 starts easily and runs smoothly. It does leak and burn oil though. All cylinders do have compression within spec and only one spark plug shows sign of oil burning. The original carburetor has been rebuilt and it has a pertronix points replacement.
The C4 auto shifts through all gears but on occasion will have a delayed shift into second.
I have not ever put it into 4 wheel drive so I cannot confirm if that is in working order. I have only ever driven this on dry pavement. It does have newer looking warn hubs however.
Brakes and manual discs all around. It does look like it can use brake lines and new pads though.
Suspension needs new bushings. It had always driven straight and smooth down the road until recently. The bushings show noticeable wear. I have already installed a Wild Horses adjustable track bar and have new poly bushings that I will include with the sale.
The tires are older but still have good tread.
All lights work as they should
Other minor items needed.
Horn
Windshield wipers (has delay switch installed that needs hooking up)
Heater core replaced (new one included)
Interior
Recovered seats in original style houndstooth
Newer carpet
Dash pad cover
Aftermarket radio cut into dash, but an original (untested) is included.
Overall good condition.
I am starting out with an asking price of $21,000 based on what I have seen comparable sell for on EBAY. I am open to hearing offers and getting feedback as I know there are many variables when it come to accurately pricing these. This is a very solid truck and a great starting point for a full restoration or to just address the mechanical needs and drive it as a survivor.
Thanks for looking.
