Bronco Buyer's Guide The people at Hagerty supplied some Bronco
history: There's no doubt that Ford product manager Donald Frey and
Lee Iacocca wanted a piece of the action that Jeep and
International Harvester were enjoying with the CJ-5 and Scout 80,
which together sold over 30,000 units a year combined. Not to
mention Ford was no stranger to the concept, as they built over
270,000 Jeeps during WWII.... Ford was hungry for a piece of the
sport-utility pie. ... the production version that launched on
August 11, 1966 solved every one of the competition's shortcomings.
The 92-inch wheelbase is shorter than that of both competitors,
enough to achieve a 33.6-foot turning radius-three feet smaller
than the CJ-5 and a staggering 9.5 feet smaller than the Scout 80.
The Bronco also used a much more sophisticated 'Mono-Beam' front
suspension with coil springs and radius rods up front, offering a
smoother ride and allowing the wheels to turn more effectively. The
setup includes a one-inch diameter track bar for lateral stability.
And at 57.4 inches, the Bronco had a track four inches wider than
the CJ, plus better brakes, with 11-inch drums up front and 10-inch
drums in the rear. Offered here is a 1968 Ford Bronco 4-wheel-drive
model in black over black-and-white. The truck has been
comprehensively and professionally restored and upgraded on every
measure; a full and complete body-off process. The addition of
top-quality components not available (or even imagined) when the
Bronco was first manufactured, and new, crate-engine
Ford-Performance power all executed at the highest level resulted
in this stellar build: Original aesthetics meet exceptional 21st
Century roadworthiness and off-road capability. (Please refer to
the accompanying comprehensive list of performance and component
upgrades.) Only 87 miles have been added to the Bronco since the
build was completed in November 2021. The non-metallic black
exterior paint was professionally applied, and the uniformly glossy
finish demonstrates the skill-level involved. All panels, as well
as door jambs, cargo area, and (Ford-embossed) tailgate are
properly painted. There are no dents, dings, or other damage on any
sheet metal. (To best assess the quality of the paint and trim
finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in
the accompanying gallery.) The black soft top is new and properly
fitted. Black, tubular-steel, custom bumpers are mounted, and they
are free of impact dents or other scars. Chrome headlight,
taillight, door handles, and simple front trim (surrounding the
correct, silver-painted grille) shows well. Cabin glass and
lighting lenses are clear. Factory badging-including the
red-trimmed F-O-R-D grille chrome lettering, Sport Bronco fender
emblems, and correctly upgraded 351 engine badges-are properly in
place. Mickey Thompson® Indy-101-style, 15-inch, 5-spoke, polished
aluminum rims are mounted with new 35x12.50LT Pro Comp tires.
Inside, the color theme is black metal with white accompaniment on
the properly reupholstered original seats (front buckets and rear
bench) and dash pane
