This was a factory automatic, 302, Ranger which, was Grabber Blue. The numbers show and it has been verified to be a large bearing rear end with Trac Loc. This was built in San Jose right where the most valuable Mustangs were built. Original to California - original blue plate - has been climate controlled for 4 years in Mass and seen no winter driving. This is not a trail beaten bronco! It came with the larger Dana front end in 74. It had dual tanks. I believe the Warn front bumper to be dealer added and it is hard to locate this item. I purchased this truck in Sacramento approximately 4 years ago. It is 99.9% rust free with only two very small spots on the crease of the floor pan by the gas pedal. This was a result of the front windshield gasket leaking slightly. It has a small patch on each spot and the pans do not need to be replaced. In terms of rust this is about as good as a gets. This is one solid bronco. You will be hard pressed to find one better! Every replaceable part on the front end related to suspension and steering was replaced. 3.5 inch Wild Horse progressive springs in the front with 10 pack leafs in the rear from Toms. It’s a soft yet well handling ride. All of the following parts indicated have no more than 3000 miles on them unless indicated otherwise!!Bestop, Added roll-up rear window and taped/sealed seams!!

On Jul-09-12 at 20:37:11 PDT, seller added the following information: Added 7/9/12 This transmission is rated at approximately 600hp stock. With the modifications I'm told by the builder it will easily handle 750HP. I had it set up with a nice smooth shift ie; there is no radical shift kit in it. What the goal was is a very reliable transmission capable of manual shifting, that could handle a 425 - 450 hp motor all day long. Also, so it could be used in a high torque application such as towing w/o any problems whatsoever. The C3 is a terrific transmission but this gets much better mileage and has much greater capabilities. Its hard to see ( and I have photos ) but I removed the rear carpet from the rear of the front seats back to prep it. The floors were mint and I sanded them down, wiped them with solvent and put a nice coat of rust oleum down. The goal was to pull the front seats and replace them along with new carpet at some point. The carb is a 650 cfm. The tires are in very good condition. I have the original trim for the front glass and will include it. There are a couple of dime to quarter size chips in the paint that I touched up. One of the fender flares has some sun deterioration in the clear coat - not sure why. I could only include the 24 photos ebay allowed. The front warn locks are new and the deluxe models.
