This 1974 Ford Bronco Ranger was first delivered to Sewell Ford Inc in Odessa, Texas and reportedly spent 30+ years in storage before the 2nd owners acquisition in 2016. Power comes from the matching-numbers original 302ci V-8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case, and the truck is finished in ivy glow over black upholstery & tweed and brown accents. Equipment includes a removable hardtop, 16″ wheels, power steering, a Dana limited-slip front differential, a Traction-Loc rear differential, chrome-finished bumpers, bucket seats, and lots more. This Bronco is also being offered with the original 15 inch FoMoCo steel wheels and Bronco hubcaps (not on car), original purchase documents, a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, and a fully transferable Texas title.
The truck was ordered in Ivy Glow and repainted during previous ownership some 35 or so years ago, and it is equipped with a white removable hardtop. Additional exterior details include chrome-finished bumpers, rocker moldings, Sport fender badges, a fold-flat windshield, dual mirrors, white painted door & fender graphics, and a rear-mounted spare tire. Paint chips and scratches are noted given the age but paint looks nice and shines well.
Equipment includes manually locking front hubs and four-wheel drum brakes. An extensive amount of mechanical work was performed on the car in November/December 2022 and we are happy to share the service tickets and invoices with interested parties. A full in-depth bumper-to-bumper service was performed and all systems (including the A/C) work fine.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl with houndstooth (door) inserts, which are complemented by matching door panels and woodgrain trim. Amenities include power steering, an aftermarket 1970’s CB radio, front lap belts, an AM radio, and brown carpets.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a compact100-mph speedometer with integrated gauges for voltage, fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 57,502 miles which is actual miles since new.
The 302ci V8 produced 125 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque when new.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case with a limited-slip front differential and a Ford Traction-Loc rear differential.

The window sticker shows initial delivery to Sewell Ford Inc, fitted equipment, and a total price of $5,178.04.
Original family owned for over 40 years and never left Odessa, Texas until coming here to Georgia in October of 2022.
Very rare to find an uncut, unrestored, original, survivor 1st gen Ford Bronco loaded with options. Even the carpet is original to the car!
