Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1971 Ford Bronco, a
great-looking truck with many desirable options including power
steering, hydroboost power brakes with front disk, and a freshly
rebuilt 302 cubic inch V8 with fewer than 1,000 miles on it. Under
present enthusiast ownership for the last 10 years, this truck was
restored shortly prior to his purchase and has undergone regular
maintenance and upgrades since.
Finished in an attractive medium grey-green metallic, finish
quality is excellent over a straight and rust-free body. The only
flaw to note is some slight checking on the hood. Sport trim,
chrome bumpers, color-matched flares, a full black soft soft top
with tinted windows, and 33x12.50 tires on 15-inch alloy wheels
give this Early Bronco a great look.
The interior is finished with stock seats front and rear and a full
carpet kit; upgrades include a tilt steering column, a modern gauge
cluster, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a locking center console
with armrest and cupholders, a locking glove box, an OE-style
RetroSound stereo, plus a roll bar with three-point seat belts. The
soft top is in excellent condition (indeed, few things are more fun
than driving an Early Bronco on a nice day with the side and rear
panels removed from the soft top). A bikini top is also included.
All glass was replaced when this truck was restored and all window
mechanisms were rebuilt - so the quarter vents are in great shape,
and the roll-up windows in the doors operate very smoothly with no
binding. Dual wiper motor conversion works better than stock and
eliminates the clunky OEM linkage.
Under the hood is a 302 cubic inch V8 remanufactured engine which
was installed in November 2022 fewer than 1,000 miles ago; it has a
three-year, 100,000-mile warranty so there's still well over a year
of warranty remaining. A new Sanden A/C compressor came included
with the engine, so it would be easy to add A/C to this truck (no
other A/C components are presently installed). The engine starts
easily and runs great, as you would expect, and is mated to a
three-speed manual transmission (the shifter was relocated to the
floor when the modern tilt column was installed). The stock 4.11
gears were swapped out with 3.73 gears a few years ago for more
comfortable highway driving. Stops are straight and sure thanks to
hydroboost brakes with front disk; newer suspension and steering
components plus an upgraded Saginaw power steering pump afford
confident handling. A modest 2.5 inch lift gives this truck a great
stance and excellent off-road bona fides without sacrificing
on-road drivability. And with a modern Centech wiring harness, all
lights and gauges are working reliably.
This Early Bronco runs and drives very nicely; included with the
sale are a reproduction owner's manual, bikini top (plus the full
soft top as seen in the photos), a full-size cover, a Marti report
and ten years of service records. For more information about this
