Vehicle Description
We love first generation Ford Broncos because they have the classic
silhouette, are a cool convertible around town, and have the 4x4
prowess to go off-road at a moment's notice. It's a skill set that
never goes out of style, especially when all these qualities have
been enhanced so well on this 1973 example.
The boxy bodywork gives this SUV a real machismo, but there's a lot
of style to this one, too. The shade of Dark Charcoal has a great
modern clearcoat shine. This color also nicely complements the
4x4's dark side. The grille, fender flares, and upgraded 20-inch
wheels are all finished in black, which is a nice dose of attitude.
This color combo also meant the folding roof coordinates with the
full package when it's in place. Plus, those black bumpers
complement this two-tone style while also adding plenty of
function. After all, we know real 4x4 fans will find the brush
guard in front quite handy, and the hooks and tow hitch in the rear
can always be put to good use.
Because a Bronco like this loves to be open to the world, the same
exterior color theme is continued inside. The dash and door tops
continue the exterior metallic gray, and it's joined by the black
on the roll bar, dash pad, floors, door cards, and upgraded sports
steering wheel. Plus, the black and gray seating unite these two
colors perfectly. And since these covers are made of a durable
vinyl, and the floor is metal, cleanup from a dusty day out on the
trail can be as easy as a garden hose.
Under the hood is the largest motor that was offered in these
first-gen Broncos: the mighty 302 cubic-inch V8. Plus, this one has
been upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock
intake, and a new dual exhaust. It fires up nicely, and you can
even spot newer components like the brake booster. The V8 connects
to a three-speed automatic transmission and two-speed transfer case
feeding both axles. Broncos have a tough off-road attitude, and
that's only enhanced on this one with Toyo Open Country tires.
Plus, these were the first consumer 4x4 to utilize front coil
springs. So that combines with power steering and power brakes
means to deliver a fine total package for the town or the
trail.
