Vehicle Description
Wow! Take a look at this exceptionally clean 1973 Ford Bronco
Explorer. This one comes with an eye-catching, factory
orange-and-white paint scheme that looks absolutely stunning.
What's more, this Bronco isn't just like any classic. With a 302
C.I. V8 and 4-wheel drive, this old Ford is also one serious
vintage off-roader. Being a 1973 model, this Bronco belongs to the
very first generation built, which ran from 1966 all the way until
1977. This 1973 example is a highly equipped model, the
top-of-the-line "Explorer". With the Explorer package came
carpeting, deluxe cloth & vinyl seats, and an automatic
transmission. It's also relatively rare, as only 21,894 Broncos
were produced in 1973! Powered by a workhorse of an engine, the 302
C.I. V8 in this Bronco provides plenty of power. That torque gets
to both front and rear axles through the use of a 3-speed automatic
transmission with selectable 4-wheel drive working well through a
Dana 20 transfer case, allowing for ample performance both on and
offroad. This Bronco has a great stance and looks beautiful in its
correct orange and white paint scheme, which shines brilliantly in
the sun. The interior is just as nice, with carpeted floors, vinyl
& cloth color-matching seats, heating and a digital radio for
additional driver comfort. Options fitted to this beautiful Bronco
include power steering, a vintage-style AM/FM digital radio, vent
windows, a heater + defroster, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust
system. The Bronco in question rides on some offroad-ready "Nexten
Roadian M/T" offroad tires and some great-looking M/T steel wheels.
A classic that is still as functional and durable as it was when it
left the factory, this Bronco is sure to retain its worth. If
you're looking for a nice classic that is sure to both inspire
smiles from the passengers and elicit stares from passerby, then
this Bronco may be just what you're looking for.
