GORGEOUS, FULLY RESTORED, MIDNIGHT BLUE METALLIC 1971 U14 FORD BRONCO HALF CAB, 302 V8, AUTOMATIC, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AIR CONDITIONING, READY TO SHOW AND GO!!!
This is an absolutely beautiful 1971 Ford Bronco U14 Half Cab that received a beautiful restoration from a gentleman in Oregon who I have purchased several early Bronco Classics from over the years. He and his wife are true Bronco and Ford truck enthusiasts and he has been restoring them for many years He purchased this particular one in 1997 out of Dewey, Arizona where it lived a rust free life and was originally a forest service rig. He built this one for his wife to drive so they could go to the car shows and events together and this was her baby. Given that it was built for his wife, it had to be a reliable, nicely equipped, strong running, very comfortable rig that would turn heads everywhere. As you will see he knocked it out of the park and she loved this one and drove it for the past 26 years to the car shows and events or just out for a beautiful drive. The owners realized this Bronco was not being driven very much in the past few years and realized that it made sense to let it go to the next lucky owner, maybe you?!
As you will see this is an absolutely beautiful Bronco that runs and drives as good as it looks. I will include lots of photos, an honest description and a video so you can see and hear how great she sounds. I am also a transport broker so I can assist in getting you a great rate on transport anywhere in the US.
Paint and body look outstanding. This was an Arizona Bronco before going to Oregon and it lived a very rust free life. Body panels are extremely straight body panel fit is excellent. Doors open and shut very well. Hard to believe the restoration was almost 25 years ago as the paint and body still look amazing. Paint was a custom PPG Base coat/clear coat Ford Midnight Blue with just a little violet added Original frame was super solid and was sand blasted and painted. This was a high end professional paint job and the Bronco was always stored in a climate controlled garage and shows fantastic. Bumpers were replaced. New emblems and front grille painted silver with new FORD red letters. Billet Headlight Bezels with Hella Halogen lights. Special 50th anniversary badge added to grille. High performance Azurelite glass keeps out 93% of the direct heat. Half Cab hard top is in great condition and a brand new bikini top was added for when the roof is off. The truck bed was double lined with Linex and looks great. Custom roll bar from Tom’s Bronco and a high lift jack is mounted to the roll bar. I noticed just a couple of small chips that have been touched up. Overall, the paint and body are definitely worthy of showing this Bronco off at local shows and events and will likely win its share of trophies if that is what you enjoy. It did win trophies for the previous owners. As you will see in the pics it is a beautiful Bronco, sounds great and runs and drives beautifully.
The interior was nicely upgraded with a split bench seat from a 2000 Ford Ranger that was custom upholstered in more of an original Bronco pattern. Super comfortable high back seats and the fold down center console gives you a nice armrest or fold it up and put your kid between you like the good ol’ days. This set up is way more comfortable than stock seats but still maintains an original color and pattern which looks great. Since it is an original half cab it does not have a rear seat but one could be added if desired. New door panels and new carpeting with nice set of Ford floor mats added. Nice sounding Kenwood stereo. Great Dakota digital gauge cluster that fits in stock location but provides much more info. Rich looking custom teak Grant steering wheel with a tilt steering column. And for those of you living in the hot climates this baby has Ice cold Vintage Air Conditioning as well! As you will see, the interior is also show worthy and looks amazing.
Under the hood sits a completely rebuilt 302 V8 that was bored .030 over. It has a mild off-road cam , a Weiand Streetmaster Aluminum intake with Holley 650CFM Street avenger 4bbl carburetor with electric choke and Ford Kickdown. AFR Aluminum heads. Polished pulleys for power steering and air conditioning . High output Alternator and a Tom’s Bronco big 4 core aluminum radiator to keep it running nice and cool. Power steering was upgraded with Burgeon 4:1 power steering box ( new in last 200 miles)set up with a new Saginaw pump. Power front disc brakes. Power is put to the ground through the completely rebuilt C-4 Automatic transmission that shifts great, with 3:50 gears in the 9″ rear end so you can cruise at highway speeds with no issues. Dana 20 transfer case. Great stance with 2 1/2 ” Suspension lift. Sitting on a beautiful set of custom 17″ wheels from 4wheel parts. They are 17″x9″wrapped in great set of 305/65/17 All Terrain Pro Comp tires. It sounds as good as it looks thanks to the 2 1/4″ aluminized dual exhaust with a great sounding set of flow masters. Make sure you listen to it running in the video whihc is the 2nd picture you can click on the arrow to play the video
The underside of the Bronco looks great too. Floorpans are rock solid and everything is neat and tidy. Both fuel tanks in place and functioning. This Bronco has been updated as needed and has been a super reliable, well loved Classic Bronco! There has only been a little under 2700 miles on the build since it was completed so the drivetrain is very fresh and strong!!!
Don’t miss out on this quality build!!!
