SOLD 1973 Bronco Explorer

[Lawndart]

City: Gardner
Price: $ 13999

---

302/2V
Grabber blue
Power steering
C4 automatic
53xxx miles

I picked this up in Wyoming about a year and a half ago with plans for a retirement project down the road. Plans have changed as I will be losing my project(s) space.

Single owner, prior to myself. Later in life, it was used for snowplow duty. From what I can assess, larger wheels and tires (possibly coil springs) were added to the front to support the plow. Likely the tires interfered with the fenders and beat them up. Then, I believe, the fenders were removed and duty continued.

Positives -
Solid Bronco with most of the original parts.
Engine bay very original.
Uncut.
Being from WY, very little corrosion (just a little on the inner fenders).

Negatives -
Body panels are beat up.
Replacement front fenders (non-oem) will be supplied (in the photos, they just have a few bolts in them for photos/storage).
Seats in poor condition.
Plow support welded to the front frame horns. I inspected this and feel this could be removed, without damage to the frame, if someone is patient (this was my plan).

Title -
I have the signed title in the original owner’s name. My name is listed as the purchaser. Since I did not plan to sell, I was not in a hurry to start the process. Now I have started the process and should have a KS title in my name in about 4 weeks.

Personally, I believe this would start right up with a new battery. I have manually turned the engine over and given it a good look over.
Good bones and a good start for a rolling refresh or...

Just about a month younger than me lol. That's a good deal, won't last long. "I don't need another one......I don't need another one.... I don't need another one....."

Passenger's (looks like a patch job from the past):

Inner fenders (looking up between the fenders). Looks like the front lower corner (near the grille) were damaged in the past, probably from the plow/fender interference. The PO straighten them, but they have been bent in the past.

I peeled the rear mat back near the wheel wells:

The grille has likely been taken - one step beyond. I will include a usable grille, another tailgate and an aftermarket dashpad with the sale.
