Believed to be numbers matching and is a very original type restoration. 75225 are the reputed original mileage on this vehicle. Original California vehicle, first sold in Los Angeles, with District Code ’71’ on the data plate tag in the glove compartment. This went to San Diego where it was kept in a garage for many years by the previous owner. It still has original blue and yellow CALIFORNIA license plates on it. Currently registered. Recent restoration on body, paint, interior, undercarriage, and floors. The work performed was completed in 2013. The 302 V8 is believed to be the matching numbers, original engine. It remains equipped with factory 2 barrel Motorcraft Carburetor, original intake manifold, unmodified cast iron exhaust manifolds, original air cleaner, and - even the fan shroud and windshield wash tank are still in place. Engine runs strong and also has dual exhaust. 3 Speed transmission shifts through all gears. Please see pictures of the undercarriage which looks very clean. Uncut body, painted in January of 2013 with a high quality catalyzed urethane paint in Calypso Coral, which was the original color for this vehicle. The paint code is ‘1.’ This was a quality paint restoration done by a skilled professional with many years (20+) as an automotive paint technician. The all steel panels were stripped of all chrome and paint, it was fully primed, block sanded, primed again, block sanded, and then when the panels looked just right, the topcoat was applied. After time was allowed for the urethane color coat to cure, it was color sanded and buffed with varying grades of fine sandpaper, beginning with 1200 and succeeding up to 1500/2000 grits. The paint was then buffed to the high luster that you see here. The Calypso Coral was also reapplied to the engine bay. The spare tire rack was removed, repainted in Calypso Coral, and was reinstalled on the Bronco Sport with an original steel wheel full sized spare. The grill has been painted silver, just like it was originally, as part of the Sport option. The full hardtop was painted on the inside and the outside in white catalyzed enamel. New seals. Upper and lower door seals are new along with new window ‘fuzzies’ / window anti rattle kits on both doors. Chrome has been purchased new and added to the truck. The door handles have been replaced, the bumpers have been replaced new, front and rear. The door mirrors are new. New SPORT fender emblems, etc. New lenses were also added. Still has the original bright aluminum hubcaps and the factory steel wheels. There is a Class 2 or Class 3 trailer hitch on the rear, I can’t remember which, but you can tow some things if you need to. Extremely clean new interior! The floors were stripped down and then several coats of spray on bed liner were applied for durability. The seats went into the upholstery shop and were rebuilt. Factory style interior was redone on the original seats, in parchment. Front bucket seat upholstery is new, rear seat upholstery is new. New foam padding on all three seats. Upholstery work was all done at the end of 2012 and has perhaps 15 miles on the installation. The door panels are new, new armrests on the front door panels/ new armrests on the rear seat, and new door cups. Dash was painted parchment to match as was original. The hardtop was also painted inside for the correct white contrast. Original steering wheel and original horn ring (commonly lost) Inside and installed are the original visors and windshield wiper motor cover. Came with the optional dual fuel tanks. I believe it needs a fuel gauge sending unit (50.00 part, gauge not indicating). This is truly an original piece of American history, which you can own for a very fair price.
