I have for sale, a 1976 Ford Bronco in excellent condition. I purchased the Bronco almost a year ago and have worked consistently on restoring the vehicle. The vehicle at this point is completely restored and would make a great vehicle that someone would be proud to own.
The vehicle has the classic lines of old vintage broncos that I love so well, and is in remarkable shape. The body has no rust at all to my knowlege - if I knew of any rust on the vehicle I would immediately fix it. I have gone through great pains to eliminate ALL rust areas. I had the vehicle at a local welding / body shop for 3 months having the tailgate refurbished with steel parts and the floor pans all cut out and new OEM expensive floor pans replaced for both sides and back. The paint is original with some touch ups throughout, I would have re-painted it, but I don't think it needs it. I am very happy with the paint, but if for show quality it could be repainted with virtually no body work (there are two dents basically, one on the grill -nickel size, one on driver fendor - golf-ball size.) I have stripped down under the body and power-shot rust preventor and under-coat with sound deadiner completely under the body.
The interior in the vehicle is in great shape. Both front seats are brand new OEM style seats, the backseat is the original seat re-upholstered to match the front. The CD player is brand new (IPOD Capable- works with mine) and the speaker system in the back it brand new and removable (for washing or theft prevention). The interior is powder-coated repainted and has black metal-flake sprayed over. The dash is white. The upper dash is black with one tear / crack. The guages all work. The floorpans through-out are brand new and rust-free. All fendors are rust-free as is the body. The front fender flares are brand-new, the back fender flares are in great shape and didn't need replacing. The tail-gate is 100% rust free.
The top is in great shape and has good glass throughout. I currenlty have the top off. The Bronco stays in my garage at all time. It does leak oil on my floor, but every Ford I have ever owned does that
It doens't burn oil, just leaks a little around the oil pans, hasn't been enough of an issue so far for me to take it in to fix.
Mechanically, the vehicle is in great shape. The prior owner had a new automatic (C-4 I believe) transmission placed in the vehicle. The overdrive is manual, it does not have the downshift linkage installed on the carb. I don't need it, the vehicle has plenty of acceleration for me, plus the transmission is geared for comfortable highway speeds. However, the truck handles excellently off-road. The Transfer case, 4wd, front-end, rear-end, etc, all work fine and are in good shape. I took the vehicle hunting this spring and the 4wd worked great, functioned smoothly and efficiently. The shifter is a Hurst, took me a while to get used to it, but I really like it now. I have only driven the vehicle max 600 - 700 miles. The tires and rims are in great shape. Tires have 80% plus tread on them, one driver side rear tire needs balanced I think. The motor is a 302 ford that is strong and doesn't smoke, it has a lot of miles left on it. I don't think it has been rebuilt. The carboreator is an Edelbrock and runs fine (although I hear Holley's are better for fuel mixture), the carb is new to the prior owner. The exhaust is a dual -header flowmaster system - SOUNDS AWESOME !!!!!! The motor has Cobra valve-covers, but I'm pretty sure the motor is 302 stock. The truck seems standard OEM lift, but the suspension has been redone. I placed new shocks all-around. You can add two more shocks to the front for additional off-road handling / articulation. The vehicle has a total of 4 shocks on it currently. Brakes are in great shape. Emer brake is not hooked up, probably wouldn't take much. The outside door latch on the driver side needs lubing to work as well as the inside. Both gas tanks work.
All electricals are in good shape and fuctional, lights, signals, driving lights, radio, windshield wiper, etc. Headlights are new. Alternator is new, Power Steering pump is new. Oil is new, with lucas added. Transmission fluid is new, with Lucas added. Steering wheel is new. Currently the vehicle is tagged and licensed and I drive it occasionally into the office. I own the vehicle outright and have the clear title.
It would make an excellent daily driver, very nice hunting/sport vehicle, rock crawler, or with some extra effort, a show quality car. From a 1 to 10 scale with 10 being absolute show quality, I would place the vehicle at an 8. I drove it for over 100 miles the other day on a trip and it ran with no problem.
I have enjoyed working on and owning this vehicle and need to sell because of a new job. I am motivated to sell. I am asking $15,000 or an offer that is reasonable, based on my experience of other broncos I would say this is a deal, hopefully you will agree. This is my second bronco, first was a 1968 that I sold on classicbroncos. I am honest about everything, I have found most EB guys are If you have questions, let me know. My email is Brad.Ralston@gmail.com , my phone number is 479-305-0571. If I don't answer, leave a message and I'll return the call. Anyone is welcome to come by and see it. I live in Fayetteville, AR.
