Vehicle Description
It boasts a durable lineage that predates SUVs entirely and saw its
first mile at a time when they were instead known as Multi-Purpose
vehicles. This 1973 Ford Bronco is well-equipped both inside and
out, and boasts undeniable curb appeal to go along with its rugged
good looks. It would be a great acquisition for someone seeking a
versatile ride that's equally at home with real off-road action as
it is with everyday driving.
This vintage Ford features a black hue that fits its "can do" vibe
perfectly, and its matching grille, step bars and front and rear
bumpers, as well as fender flares and the "Black Jack" artwork
decorating its rear flanks, give it a decidedly custom appearance.
It's a great looking SUV - noticeably different in configuration
than what we're now accustomed to seeing, with its relatively
compact, muscular shape, yet every bit as capable looking as its
modern counterparts. Just a quick glance at its wheel clearance
confirms that this is not just a novelty vehicle that features
four-wheel drive just for show, but rather one that is perfectly
comfortable and well-suited to taking leave from the asphalt when
called on to do so. It's very finished looking, as well, with flush
panels, doors that open and shut smoothly, and unblemished tinted
glass surrounded by fresh rubber to bear proof of the good care
it's received.
The black vinyl interior looks great, having received a lot of
attention to bring it up to its current state. Both the front
buckets and rear bench seat are well-padded and comfortable enough
for even long excursions, with no obvious signs of wear. Within
very easy reach of the driver's seat sits the control allowing you
to transition to four-wheel drive in situations calling for
increased sure-footedness. You'll notice that the bench seat is
situated with ample legroom before it, allowing even your tall
passengers to ride in comfort. A fresh expanse of carpeting sits
below, extending all the way back to the storage area behind the
rear seat. The door panels have been restored and are sporting
fresh looking trim around their perimeters. Just beyond the
steering wheel, the dash area reflects the same condition, with
clean looking control switches seated firmly in their spaces,
easily readable gauges filling the single dial cluster and an
admirably straight and supple-looking dash pad looming above. A
Kenwood AM/FM/CD player with USB connectivity sits front and center
in the dash to handle your audio needs.
Raise the hood and you'll find a very smooth running 302 V8 sitting
inside. It's been recently rebuilt and runs with just the
smoothness you'd expect as it breathes out its headers. The
powerplant joins a host of updated parts inside the engine bay to
up the reliability factor, including an overhauled radiator,
several new hoses, a new water pump and thermostat and new
transmission and transfer case seals. It combines with a 3-speed
automatic transmission that shifts with confidence-inspiring
precision. This awesome-looking SUV classic sits on a set of 15"
ProComp alloy tires, wrapped with Pathfinder All-Terrain tires.
