This is a very honest and drivable 1977 Bronco Ranger edition.
Listed below is the work carried out since 2020, as it progressed through a full restoration.
It startes immediately, hot or cold, it funs smoothly, as has really only just been run in with 1000 miles since major components have been rebuilt.
The pick up is quick and cruises effortlessly at 70 mph ( not pushed beyonD that due to run in procedure)
Your not buying a show car, but a car that is fully restored but has original patina in the engine bay and the interior, and in which everything works!
