Vehicle Description
1967 Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco has returned, introduced in July of 2020 and it was
not alone. Not one but two new Broncos will debut, following up on
a legacy that stretched from 1966 until 1996, when the last big
Bronco rolled off the assembly line. In its 30 years, Dearborn's
rugged 4x4 changed with the times, laying the foundation for the
SUVs that took over the range in the 1990s. Also, fun fact: The
carburetor of the Bronco featured special floats to battle fuel
flooding or starvation during off-roading in steep terrain. A
number of other systems were beefed up to make it able to handle
itself off-road, including a larger oil pan and a more capable fuel
pump.
For consignment, a generation 1 version right out of 1967 with a
recent frame off restoration, a suspension and body lift, a
powerful V8, plush leather interior and even a body matching
hardtop, all done by the talented hands of the Bronco Barn in
Lancaster, PA. This vehicle lives up to its name as it is unbroken
on the acceleration front, and a full press of the accelerator and
it is off like its namesake, we give you the 1967 Bucking Bronco.
All looking sweet in its rock climbing ready red hue, nifty wheels,
lift kit and overall excellent condition. Saddle up with this fully
documented build that was featured along with the owner of the
Bronco Barn, Amos Zuck, in the February 2019 printing of Road &
Track magazine.
Exterior
Conquer the Badlands! on the exterior paint, which is a beautiful
red, this offroad dweller is looking just fab with well minded gaps
throughout. In nice contrast the black highlighted body, sparsely
adorned with chrome, with its simple round LED headlights on either
side and a thin but effective shiny black bumper below. All panels
are straight and rust free, including the fiberglass hood with its
custom integrated functional hood scoop with outboard auxiliary
scoops. Our example comes complete with a removable black canvas
top for all your open air adventures and presents in clean
condition with no tears. A body matching hardtop is also included
and will keep you safe and dry during those pop up storms. With a
windscreen that can tilt forward for unlimited views, and a
Krawlers roll bar just in case the earth gives way beneath you and
puts you wheels up, you will be protected. Lightly tinted glass
adorns the windshield and roll up door glass and folding down the
tailgate reveals a small storage area upon opening it along with a
rear seat, just enough room for the body colored vintage cooler
that comes with to hold your refreshments. Another nicely trimmed
thin bumper below and black dual exhaust pipes which are peeking
out the bottom at an angle it's ready for the race. 15 inch gloss
black wheels wrapped in knobby 33x12.50R15LT rubber on all 4
corners will get you through anything South Dakota has to offer.
Noted are the trick powered fold down running boards appear with a
swing of the doors and give some bling with Ford logo puddle
lamps.
Interior
Keep it simple would sum it up for this wild ride as we saddle up
and climb aboard. We perch on black lambskin leather buckets with
diamond pleating and glorious red stitching passing black vinyl and
red steel door panels on our way inside. Up front is an original
dash with just the facts ma'am, on the instrument front, a single
circular gauge cluster for this fine equine along with the addition
of a custom Vintage Air heat and AC system. Installed within the
dash are like new chrome knobs and pulls; the red dash front is
topped by a near perfect black padded vinyl topper. A highly
polished tilt steering column protrudes toward the driver and is
topped with a leather rimmed polished 3 spoke steering wheel. Your
4-wheel shifter is on the floor and between the buckets is a custom
console with a leather padded armrest. Near perfect black rubber
tough flooring floods the floors in the front and underneath is a
body color matched steel. A black leather bench in the rear
provides room for 2 more and matches the front buckets. There's
room in the way back for your tools, grill and cooler. The
surrounding paint and interior surfaces are all in excellent
condition.
Drivetrain
They say never look a gift horse in the mouth, however we here at
Classic Auto Mall with our inquiring minds pay no attention to this
theory so we pop the hood and are met with pure bling and
horsepower! 302 cubes rest in the well restored bay and polished
Ford Racing valve covers offset all the red, meanwhile a black
ribbed air cleaner assembly hides the 4bbl Edelbrock carburetor
underneath. This blingy mill is aligned with the 3-speed C4
automatic transmission that sends power to a 9" Ford rear axle and
if you happen to get mired down in the sand, a Dana 44 axle is on
the front to get you back on your way. Both axles are fitted with
4.11 gears and a big shout out for the polished engine pulleys and
aluminum radiator.
Undercarriage
Up on our lift we can inspect the belly of this beast and we note
solid full frame construction, no rust, and all looking just as
nice as the topside. Trailing arm and coil springs for the front
suspension, and leaf springs for the rear combined with a
suspension 2" lift kit help you traverse any rocks you may come
across. A 1" body lift accentuated the overall look of this rig and
power disc brakes are all around. Power steering is on and coated
headers flow down from the engine and feed spent fossils to the
rear of the truck via Flowmaster mufflers to produce a robust
engine sound as you take her roaring past the bighorn sheep and
bison. My well trained eye did notice a leaky left rear axle seal
that should be attended to before any serious off roading is
done.
Drive-Ability
This wild horse called me and I had to take it for a ride. It did
not disappoint and was the most fun I've had driving the many cars
in our inventory here in a while. An awesome kick is had with a
press of the accelerator, plenty of straight bias free whoa on the
solid braking, and solid handling was exhibited. Unfortunately, our
test track hasn't been upgraded with a South Dakota virtual reality
programs just yet, so I'll save the hills and wildlife for you.
Plenty of thoroughbred power, the sure footedness of a mountain
goat, and looks to attract attention like a Clydesdale, this fine
example of the Ford Bronco from 1967 is just a load of fun to drive
and looks great while doing it. If you are in the market for a
classic 4x4 and ready to explore the wilds of the good old US of A,
stop by Classic Auto Mall and check this one out.
