City: El Cajon
Price: $ Negotiable

---

Selling a unique 1966 Ford Bronco project vehicle. I obtained this truck a couple of months ago with plans to restore it, but plans have changed and it needs to go.
Please note that this is a project vehicle—it is not currently registered, and it is NOT in mechanical running condition.
Important Title & VIN Information

• The vehicle comes with a clean Texas title.
• Due to significant prior modifications, the VIN on the title does not match the vehicle
• There is no way to determine the original chassis or body VIN. It is sold strictly as a heavily modified project.

Frame, Suspension & Powertrain Setup
This Bronco features a highly customized hybrid chassis configuration:

• Engine: Toyota 2.7L 3RZ 16-valve 4-cylinder engine under the hood (likely sourced from a 1995–2004 4x4 Tacoma or 4Runner
• Transmission: Toyota 5-speed manual transmission.
• Frame: The original Toyota donor frame was cut and spliced into the Bronco frame just in front of the rear leaf spring mounts.
• Front Suspension: Toyota Independent Front Suspension (IFS) featuring CV axles, a 7.5-inch differential housing, upper/lower control arms (A-arms), torsion bars, shock absorbers, and front disc brakes.
• Rear Suspension: Traditional Ford 9-inch solid rear axle with drum brakes, a leaf spring setup, and single shocks.
• 3" suspension lift

Current Condition & Missing Parts

• Fluids: All fluids have been completely drained from the engine, transmission, and transfer case.
• Tires & Wheels: The tires have plenty of tread remaining. The older wheels have been spray-painted gold.
• Lighting: The two headlight lenses are cracked. The turn signals currently consist only of the external lenses (no inner turn signal assemblies).
• Body & Tailgate: The body is in decent shape for being 60 years old. The repaint is old and will require typical body work and a fresh paint job. The rear tailgate is currently jammed/inoperable and will need to be looked at.
• Missing Components: I do not have the complete exhaust system, the radiator, the transmission cooler, or the front and rear bumpers.

This will be a nightmare to register.

This will be a nightmare to register.

Registration will not be that bad. I know here in California you get a new VIN assigned when the current one does not match the vehicle.

Looking at this Bronco is like watching the kids on a St. Jude's commercial. I just can't.
I just feel so bad for it
