CA 1973 Bronco Explorer Orange/Orange

[BajaBronco]

I'm going to be looking for a new Bronco to keep Campico company soon. Her lontime stablemate is rehabilitated and ready to go conquer what lies ahead. I've always wanted an orange/orange Bronco Explorer from '73. What I'm looking for is an original truck with hopefully mostly original interior. The exterior can need work and be cut or uncut. If I could find one cut but original paint and exterior in good shape, that would be my prefernce, but I'll consider all. And if it's uncut, I will of course leave it that way. Call or email 408 515 5615

If you find one and need some interior pieces, let me know. I have most of the interior pieces like front rear seats, door panels, cups, arm rests. I have the Orange mat, but it's pretty well shot. I couldn't make myself throw it away. Yes, I'm a Bronco parts hoarder!!!

There was one several years back at the annual Michigan swap that I kept going back and back to. Such a cool, ugly model. The plaid orange is really too much. I love it. This one had killer interior, but the underside was typical Midwest rot. Pretty sad. Good luck on the search and post some pics if you find one.

Thanks guys. I've only seen a few. I know a nice uncut in the east and saw a cool lifted cut one at FFF in anaheim in 96. I'll keep eyes out and if you would too id appreciate it.

Andrew, I think my friend here locally is possibly selling an uncut '73 Explorer. I think I sent you pics a few years ago. Its the Y-code Orange with all the nice Orange decor inside. Auto/P.S. truck.

Hey you two, are these the pics? Great looking rig!! Andrew, had I known when you were here this summer, I would have shown you my prized possession upstairs in the garage - my orange explorer seat for the bronco room! tim

Tim, That is a good looking rig. I could see Andrew sportin' that '73 around I sent him pics of one around here locally that a friend might be selling. I thought you'd seen pics of it?

Wow. What a front bumper! Does that thing double as a picnic table? The rear bumper must be in a different time zone. ;D

Thats a pretty one. Me likey. Orangina is a little rougher but just as pretty. I will call this one you put picures of, "Sunny D." Or, "Orange Underbite"

That sure is great looking combo between the color and the interior Andrew! Good taste you have! Here is another one I found a couple of years ago passing a local dealership. Was the parking lot snow plow for the Ford lot. Told them I would be interested when they decide to sell. The interior looked like showroom quality!!! Gone now and no idea where it went off too. Never did get a phone call from them! tim
