SOLD 1974 Red Explorer, 302, AT, PS

[BajaFresh75]

I bought this locally in Nashville over the weekend. A customer told me about his Bronco he was about to sell when I was on call Saturday. I checked it out and I had to buy it, you know how it is. I've had several people ask me recently for a decent builder with AT and PS for under 8K, well...here it is! Plus it's a Red/Red Explorer to boot.

Here's the skinny. It has a nice and quiet original 302. The PO claims it was rebuilt just before he bought it in 2012. It runs drives and stops good. The tranny and t'case shift fine. I drove it a few hundred yards and pulled it up onto my trailer today. That's about it. It has a new set of 31x10.50 BFG's. The body is pretty straight, the rear quarter seams are clean.

He has driven it to Atlanta from Nashville several times to see some family who lives there, so it is interstate worthy. The door posts are good but the top hinge on the passenger side needs the backing plate to be redrilled and retapped. I looked the frame over, and I don't see any rust issues.

Interior has a pair of Bestop front buckets, original rear seat and rollbar. It has some interior and exterior sheet metal patches here and there. All the glass is good. The front fenders aren't cut under the flares. She might be perfect to sort out and drive as is, or do a full restoration since she's a factory Red/Red Explorer.

Contact me if interested and enjoy the pictures.

Good score bud. This one would be great for someone's "first" EB.

Good luck

I agree. It's a good color, and AT,PS doesn't hurt either.

Really nice rig!! un.....fortunately not quite what I'm looking for for my first eb. if you come across a non running rig in close to that condition and hopefully with a tire carrier and original seats I'd be more than interested in checking it out. I'm just not wanting to spend the extra coin on a rig thats running (rebuilt or not) when I'd be building it again anyway while fixing it up the way I want it. I just like the satisfaction of doing everything myself so I'm 100% positive I've got something done right that will last me many years to come.

Anybody got one of these that's been sitting up for 20yrs or so and needs a total rebuild plz send me a pm.
