1972 Ford Bronco

302 V8

Manual

You are looking at a rare "uncut" 1972 Ford Bronco with huge potential. As with most 40-year old classics, this Bronco does have some rust. Varying degrees of rust can be seen on floor boards, the inner fenders, the left and right rear quarter panels and posts and the rocker panels. The undercarriage (frame, rear ends, springs, etc.) has surface rust and some pitting, but absolutely no rust through anywhere other than the sheet metal mentioned above. The frame is solid. At some point in this Bronco's history it was repainted. There is very little sign of filler used, but the only way to be certain will be to strip the existing paint and replace panels as necessary...all of which are available from numerous Bronco parts specialists. Compared to other Broncos listed recently, the positives on this Bronco outweigh the negatives. Many panels are without rust AND are in above average condition. As a result of being parked since 2004, this Bronco will need some TLC to get it running in tip-top shape. It does run although is difficult to start. The previous owner installed an electric fuel pump that recently failed. New plugs and plug wires have recently been installed. The engine is a 302 with 3-speed manual transmission on the floor. Brakes are manual. The seats appear to be from a later model Ford Ranger and have been tack-welded in place. Driver and passenger seats are fully adjustable and very comfortable. Tires are studded and in good condition. This Bronco also has a 3" Rancho Lift. To sum it up, this Bronco is definitely not perfect, but it has some very good qualities. It is very presentable and will make a solid driver with some mechanical attention. I am disappointed to have to sell this Bronco, as it was going to be frame-off restoration project. Unfortunately, I have a second project Bronco that is farther along and demanding more time...and space. Thank you and Good Luck.

My understanding was that this Bronco has a 302...BUT, I just looked at the intake manifold and it has 289 stamped on it. So this Bronco may have a Ford 289...not the 302 as listed. Very sorry about the error. Also, the mileage is listed at 98,000 but the odometer shows 60,200 miles....which is a benefit....but the odometer is only a 5-spot so it would be difficult to confirm either way. Finally, the windshield is cracked...I didn't list that in the original description. Again. thank you for looking.
