The harness has been completely gone through and adapted to the EFI properly with a fuse/relay box added in. There is a non matching spare rim with a non matching tire that is the correct size, and has a custom tire cover on it.Also has a frame mounted trailer reciever with 2 inch ball and is wired for 4 prong flat plug. Hydraulic hood and latch shock kits were added and makes it nice to open them. This bronco runs and drives awesome.Almost no expense was spared during restoration. The trans shifts tight and has no noise except normal gear noise in granny and reverse. It took me some time to get used to shifting it since it is so tight. Goes straight down the road, no brake pull. I would put power brakes on, it stops well but since it has manual brakes it requires some foot pressure to stop. Steers good with no play. Rides great down the road. Has plenty of power, but not a ton of power. Should get great gas mileage. I have put 60 miles on it to break it in and work the bugs out, which there were none. Its been off road once down a dirt road to test the 4wd which works great. The ONLY BADS are: there are 2 small scratches in the paint, 1 on each qtr panel(see pics).The shifter boot for trans is not mounted. There is a small leak at the transfer case inspection plate barely leaks at all but does. The dipstick has a small leak where it goes into the pan, I cant get a wrench into the side of the pan to tighten it, probobly just needs tightened.The front end needs alinged. It was set with a tape measure for now. The frame was swapped out as the old one was torched off at the rear, so the VIN on the frame is not the same as the body. The body still retains the stock plate but does not match the frame.The VIN confirms it is a 66 frame as well as the rear shock mounts. The numbers on the frame are barely legible, I took the paint off at the numbers so they are more legible but this may cause registraion problems in some states. I would check with local laws before bidding to be sure you could register this with a different frame number. The registration is current, with a CA title based on the body VIN. Other than that this bronco is ready for whatever you want to throw at it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU INSPECT IT FOR YOURSELF IF POSSIBLE BEFORE BIDDING IM HAPPY TO SHOW IT. I am only selling because my wife is pregnant with number three and we wont all fit in the bronco. Im going to get something nice that seats 5 comfortably. This car is sold AS IS WHERE IS,and is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull this auction at any time if sold locally. a $1000 payment must be made via paypal within 24 hours of auction end,with full payment within 7 days unless otherwise discussed.
