This Rust-Free '73 Ford Bronco Explorer is really clean, and can be used as a daily driver. It is a factory automatic and has under-dash air conditioning (possibly only 1 in 10 Broncos have air conditioning) The healthy stock 302 engine has been mildly upgraded, with rebuilt stock Motorcraft carb, stock intake, fairly stock exhaust system, new aluminum radiator installed for better cooling, runs very well. Lots of recent mechanical/electrical service just went into it. It runs, sounds and drives GREAT!

The rebuilt C-4 automatic transmission with shifter on the column shifts smoothy. It has a Grant GT steering wheel (plus we DO have the original steering wheel in case someone wants to go back to stock). It has factory power steering, a Dana 44 front axle with recently added power disc brakes, a recent Ford 9" open rear axle. The Dana 20 transfer case works as it should. The underside was "blacked out" a few years ago, and could use a routine 'pressure wash' to bring it back to being super clean again. This process will take place in the next two weeks.

This mostly original Bronco used to be painted light blue, but the current owner had always wanted an Orange Bronco, so she had it professionally re-painted a few years ago. The quality of the paint is very nice. The stock dark blue interior is clean, with exception of the drivers side seat pad which is slightly worn, and will likely be repaired next week (included in the current price. The dash pad has a clean black cover on it, and looks nice. Recent windshield and seal, recent door anti-rattle kit installed, window rollers & wing windows in good shape.

A few years ago, the interior was professionally stripped, grinded, carefully prepped and sprayed with Linex interior bedliner. Now you can hose it out when it gets dirty and not worry about your floors rusting out over time. It comes with a working stereo system including CD player & IPod adapter, four speakers flush mounted in rear side panels, with an amplifier professionally mounted under the passenger side seat.

It has a black Kayline soft top, and a black bikini top. It has a stock spare tire carrier with matching spare & hub cap. The white pleaded vinyl door panels, rear side panels and tailgate panels were recently installed, and the lower door seals are fairly new.

The wheels are stock 6" steel with factory hub caps. The tires have been upgraded to 30x9.50x15 Mud Terrains with original hub caps. The front and rear chrome bumpers still shine, and are still straight and true. Over $25K invested.
