Seller’s Note:

I’ve always loved early Broncos, and this one had everything I was looking for when I bought it—Texas truck, original parts, and a great combination of upgrades that make it a blast to drive. The previous owner did a lot of the heavy lifting on the restoration, so it was easy for me to just keep it running smoothly and enjoy it.

The Hot Ginger Metallic paint looks awesome, though some of it is original, so you’ll see a few imperfections and some honest wear. I left it like that on purpose—it’s got plenty of character. The engine runs strong, the Flowmaster exhaust sounds great, and all the upgrades like power steering, power brakes, and the Holley 4bbl carb make it a fun, easy driver.

A couple of things to note, just to be upfront:

• The A/C compressor is installed but currently not blowing cold—it might be as simple as a recharge, but I haven't had the chance to diagnose it.
• Like many vintage vehicles, it has a small oil drip—nothing major, just something I’ve kept an eye on.

Inside, it’s much quieter and more comfortable than most early Broncos, thanks to the insulation and new upholstery. This isn’t a trailer queen—it’s a solid, well-kept truck that’s ready for anything. Whether you’re cruising around town, heading off-road, or showing it off at a car meet, this Bronco is up for it.
