1972 Bronco! Fires up, goes, and stops. This Bronco is mostly original and has been a slow restoration project for the last few years. Bronco was owned by a mobile home park owner who used it to do maintenance and plow snow. That gentleman died and I purchased it from the guy who bought it to take off the plow for something else. It was last registered in 2004. Clear UT title. This bronco's setup: 302 (73 block according to intake manifold casting #), Edelbrock 1406 with off road kit, when I bought it I was told heads were recently rebuilt, (gaskets and rtv on motor indicates that is likely true) Hurst floor shifted 3 speed T shift Dana 20 Dana 44 limited slip front end 4.11 gears 9 in rear 4.11 gears Odometer reads 69,xxx but no clue as to actual mileage. Like I already said, this is a running driving drivable bronco. Not perfect or a show vehicle by any stretch, but definitely a diamond in the rough. All glass is good and the windows roll up and down fine. The stock driver seat is pretty trashed, but I have 2 electric power seats from an explorer that are included but not installed. Trans shifts smooth and 4x4 (hubs/transfer case) works as they should. Rear seat in great shape. I have seat belt bolts and bolts for the rear seat, but not the rear seat belts. Rust: Yes; typical bronco rust. Worst spots are behind the drivers seat, pass floor pan, and pass rear wheel well area. Some dent issues on the rear driver side and a little on the front drivers fender, see photos. In the last 2 years and with less than 100 miles on any of it, here are all the brand new parts: New Complete Steering setup from pitman arm out (tie rods, drag link, etc) New Clutch disc, pressure plate, bushings, bearing (11 inch clutch), flywheel resurfaced New front wheel cylinders, springs, shoes, drums, bearings New rear brakes shoes/hardware New tires 235/75r15 Futura Scrambler NOS hedman headers (installed, but needs proper 'header' bolts and mufflers) New Left and Right uncut quarter panels (not installed, but included) New Left and Right taillight panels (not installed, but included) New (66-68) style front signal light conversion New side marker lenses (not installed, but included) New Battery (~6 months old) New spark plugs/cap/rotor New BC Broncos ZF transmission cross-member for installing a ZF5 or M5R2 trans.(not installed, but included) New 2 inch body lift (not installed, but included) New BC Steering Box frame area Re-enforcement kit (not installed, but included) The bronco NEEDS some things and COULD USE some other things. It NEEDS: New windshield wiper blades, exhaust system/mufflers from the headers out, the front drive line u-joint at the transfer case is a little wobbly and should be replaced, and when I installed the headers, the oil dipstick tube started leaking where it goes into the oil pan - simple fix, just don't want to lay in the mud and snow at the moment. The carburetor either needs the electric choke wired up or converted to manual choke. I have ignition/door and gas cap keys, but do not have a key to the rear hatch door, so depending on where you live, if you want to lock the rear hatch you'll need to get a key made. The bronco COULD use: A new steering stabilizer; still have the old one but didn't want to put it back on with all the new steering hardware. A wiring harness; all the electrical works except the gas gauge and sometimes the blinkers. The plan was to tackle this next. Its original wiring, plus it had a snow plow installed and then removed; which is what the occasional blinker issue stems from IMO. Radius arm bushings; they look original. Body work/paint job; I have both uncut quarter panels and both taillight panels, plus an additional used front drivers side fender. The seals around the doors, top, and tailgate are original and rotted. It does need both floor pans but I don't have those to include. Extra parts: (most not pictured) Spindles/backing plates/calipers/5 lug hub and rotor to convert front drum brakes to disc brakes. Also, some misc door hardware, extra new rear brake shoes, extra front drum(good core from when I replaced both front drums), license plate hardware is not attached to tailgate but is included. This is a great project with tons of parts included to get going. Please do not bid unless you are serious about purchasing. I require a non-refundable $500 deposit via paypal within 48 hours of the auction ending. We can work out the pick-up details then; I'm happy to assist in local pickup or with a transportation company. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
