More from Andrew's report:
"This Bronco is an unchanged, unmaintained original paint Bronco, meaning there are no signs of repair, parts change or simple maintenance. The bolt holding the speedometer cable housing to the transfer case, as well as the nut connection to the speedometer head show no signs of tampering. Each has a layer of dust covering evident of long-term indoor storage. Under hood, many parts show factory markings, paint stamps, paper and metal tags and wraps consistent with assembly-line parts, not NOS or restored parts. These details in place prove this Bronco has been stored, not driven and also that it is truly original, not a collection of rare parts applied to a low mileage truck. There is some weathering of painted and metal surfaces due to being stored outside for over 25 years."

Man I would love to have one of those mats!! What a great find! I would do just the required mechanical repairs to get it drivable and leave it just as is.

No immediate plans to sell at this point. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I want to enjoy it for a while. The hardest part is not putting some new tires on it and going for a drive. Yes, it runs.

I remember the radio ads: "Broadway Ford at Thirty Ford and Broadway". Fun play on words, they were at 34th street and Broadway.
Wonderful find, That old girl has been waiting long time for some to take her out and play.

It sounds really cool. I was especially impressed with door operation, and interior condition. But I could look at it for days and find kore details I’m sure.
It was stored mostly indoors with just that backside sticking out a couple feet. I think it looks really good for not having been stored very carefully!
