I AM RE-LISTING IT AGAIN. I AM NOT REDUCING THE PRICE. IF IT DOESN"T SELL I WILL KEEP IT. THE VALUE IS ONLY GOING TO INCREASE OVER TIME. I CAN AND WILL WAIT IT OUT. If you're looking to purchase an early Ford Bronco, now is the time. The early broncos are becoming VERY popular. If you are ready to buy and you want a completely restored, ready to drive bronco, this is the one for you. It's easy to describe everything I have done.....EVERYTHING. I purchased the vehicle from a private seller in Fallbrook, CA in January 2005. From what I was told the vehicle was purchased new and spent it's entire life in the Palm Springs, CA desert area. I had the vehicle shipped back to Buffalo, NY in February 2005. The vehicle was complete and driveable when I purchased it; however, it had 4 or 5 coats of paint on it. I wanted to have it re-painted, but my local body shop advised that it would have to be stripped. He suggested the best/proper way would be to media blast the body and start over. I decided the right way would be to do a COMPLETE frame off restoration. I'm not talking about taking the body off the frame and doing a quick paint job. I am a perfectionist, all parts are new,, refurbished or restored. The pictures certainly show the workmanship and quality, it's even nicer in person. I spent alot of money restoring this bronco. If you want a fully restored bronco, buy one that has already been done....it's alot cheaper than doing it yourself.....trust me, I am learning the hard way. BODY: Completely removed every piece, media blasted, primed and painted DUPONT base coat, clear coat, early Ford Candy Apple Red. The main body was put on a rotisserie, the under side of the main body was painted a satin black. I wanted to paint the under side, because there was absolutely no rust and/or body panels replaced. I wanted other people to see the original panels and condition. The inside of the main body was Linx'd, because I wanted to drive it and not worry about scratching interior when people get in and out. The engine compartment was painted with a Dupont enamel paint, because it's more durable and more resistant to scratching. The doors were completely rebuilt inside and out. The hard top was media blasted and powder coated a gloss white and the inside was re-painted as well. FRAME: Was media blasted and powder coated satin black ENGINE: It has the original engine, it was completely rebuilt, the block was acid dipped, media blasted, magnafluxed and painted ford blue. It was bored .30 over and it was rebuilt with all new parts, new ceramic coated headers, carburetor (stock 2 barrel), water pump, starter, flywheel and point less ignition. It has a complete stainless steel, custom made exhaust from the headers all the way to the rear. New stainless steel custom made fuel line from the carburetor to the new plastic gas tank. TRANSMISSION and TRANSFER CASE: Both units were completely dis-assembled, cleaned, media blasted and powder coated satin black. Both units were re-assembled with all brand new parts. It is a three speed manual on the colum and the colum shift was completely rebuilt new parts. FRONT and REAR AXLES: Both axles were completely dis-assembled, cleaned, media blasted and powder coated stain black. Both axles were re-assembled with all brand new parts. The axle gear ratios are 3.50, I had no plans of every four wheeling it, so I went for gas mileage. All new brakes and components front/back, with new 31x10.5x15 mud terrain tires. The stock rims were media blasted and powder coated stain white. The brake lines were all replaced with new stainless steel INTERIOR: The original seats were stripped to bare frames, media blasted and powder coated satin black and re-assembled with new fabric. It does not have a heater unit. It was missing when I purchased it and I didn't have any plans of driving it in cold or bad weather. All the dash gauges and lights have been restored and work perfect. EXTERIOR: All the lights, makers, side reflects, gaskets and seals are new. All the glass is new, except for the glass on the hard top. It was not replaced because the glass was in excellent condition. All the glass seals were replaced. The entire wiring system was replaced with a new centech wiring harness. All the bolts and nuts have been replaced with stainless steel or new zinc coated bolts/nuts. The bronco has 2 1/2" lift, with new 31x10.5x15 tires. New custom made stainless steel gas and brake lines. It has manual steering and brakes. I started restoration process in July 2005 and completed it in August of 2009. Everything has been restored on the vehicle. I restored it back to all most original condition. The rear fenders were cut when I bought it, so I left it like that, besides, I personally think it looks better with rear fenders cut. I left the original manual brakes and steering and colum shift. To many of these vehicles are being completely customized when they're restored. I didn't want to lose that nostagic feeling of an early bronco. I tried to preserve the original integrity of the bronco when I restored it. I added 1 picture of the bronco without the top. I drove the bronco for about a month with the top off while I was restoring the original hard top. I liked it with the top off; however, wife and kids didn't, I lost, three to one vote. The bronco has been completely rebuilt with new, refurbished and/or restored parts. The bronco has a valid New York State Inspection sticker valid thru July 2012. I have done so much to this vehicle, I know I forgot more than I put in the description. I have done my best to describe the bronco as accuartely as possible.
