Vehicle Description
Finished in Ford Kona Blue, this custom, all-steel-bodied Bronco is
the result of a 7-year restoration that was completed approximately
three years ago. Under the hood are three custom-made panels in a
matte black finish with brushed aluminum touches and a Ford 302ci
small-block engine that has been bored to .040. The engine features
Ford Racing heads, .284/.480 camshaft, hydraulic roller lifters,
push rods, roller rockers, double roller chain and sprockets, a set
of L&L headers and a custom exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers.
The Edelbrock 650CFM 4-barrel carburetor is fueled by an Edelbrock
performer series mechanical fuel pump sitting on an Edelbrock 302
performance intake. It also features Ford electronic ignition,
accompanied by a set of Ford Racing wires, Be Cool polished
aluminum radiator, flex fan and Ford Racing water pump. A March
serpentine pulley system ties it all together. Further cooling and
lubrication of the engine are done with a Ford Racing oil pump and
a Canton Racing oil pickup and oil pan. The stock 3-speed manual
transmission is bolted to a Dana 20 transfer case with a Hurst
floor shifter and sends power to the Ford 9-inch rear end
complemented by a Dana 44 in the front end. Tuff Country leaf
springs and coils from Wild Horses make up the 4-inch lift that
clears the Goodyear Duratrac tires, and the U.S. wheels and Rancho
shocks finish it off. All of the electrical components were
replaced at the time of restoration - including a Centek wiring
harness, halogen headlights, and 1966-style turn signal and
taillights - and are powered by a Tuff Country 100-amp alternator.
The undercarriage has been meticulously worked over and sheeted in
brushed aluminum diamond plate, and the chassis differentials and
other components have been coated in POR-15. The black-on-black
interior is balanced with billet window cranks, brushed aluminum,
chrome and Kona Blue paint, and features an Ididit tilt steering
column, Billet Specialties steering wheel, a set of AutoMeter
gauges, a leather French-stitched dash pad and Billet nobs. The
seats are leather and cloth inlayed with emblems from a 1986 Bronco
II and the carpet is a graphite color trimmed in in brushed
aluminum. The sound system, which lights up with blue LED lights,
features a floor-mounted 700-watt Kicker amplifier, encased under
acrylic glass, Kicker mid- and high-range speakers with custom
crossovers under the rumble seat and three 10-inch subwoofers.
