1972 Ford Bronco Explorer model
I have a pretty original New Mexico Bronco. It belonged to my wife’s father since about 1980. Probably he was the second owner. He was a former B-17 pilot and POW, so he was pretty conservative about its use and did regular maintainance. He recently passed away at the age of 92 and had not driven it for several years. Still has the POW plates.
It is somewhat unusual as it is a 72, but has factory original power steering and the complete interior and exterior package of a 73+ Ranger/Explorer. It was not added later either. Dealer roof rack of 70s vintage. A remote mechanical spot light was added by the dealer as well. Otherwise pretty much original.
Interior is good, clean. Carpet is faded and could use replacement. I have been holding off on selling it because it needs a good detailing, especially nicks on the lower panels and white trim, to show its true value.
PM me if interested. Then we can do more discussion, if you think it is what you are looking for.
