Up for sale is a 1969 Ford Bronco Sport (U15) wagon nicely equipped with factory options (detailed in the included Elite Marti Report). The Bronco has original 302 V8, 3-Speed column shifted transmission, and two tops (factory original white hard top and black Rampage soft top). The truck is finished in what appears to be 69 Royal Maroon, but was originally Pebble Beige from the factory. The re-paint is older with several small chips and scratches, but is very presentable. The interior has factory bucket seats that have been recovered, beautiful original front door panels and un-molested, uncut dash. This Bronco was purchased in 2018, and has had extensive upgrades to the interior, drivetrain, engine, and suspension since that time with all receipts included and clear California title in hand.
Body: No signs of any rust repair and all body panels appear to be original. Dents on both sides of lower grille caused by bumper being bent back which is pictured. Both bumpers have been replaced. The only rust I have found is the typical rust on inner fender skirts which is also pictured. The undercarriage is unrestored original with no rust on the underside of the body or frame. The original floor pans are immaculate and retain the factory applied red-oxide primer that show no signs of repair.
Drivetrain: All original drivetrain. Born with 302 V8 engine was professionally rebuild to factory original specs by Engine Tech in Santa Maria with under 1000 miles on it. Engine upgrades include an Edelbrock Performer 289 intake, Edelbrock carburetor, Pertronix distributor and external coil, aluminum radiator, new water pump and silicone hoses with stainless clamps, and a 71 style factory air cleaner assembly to clear the 4 bbl carb. New auxiliary fuel tank and hoses installed and fuel gauge and under seat tank switch work properly. The 3-speed “RAT”manual transmission was re-sealed when engine was rebuilt and new clutch was installed. The Dana 20 transfer case was refinished and new 4x4 shifter and new Toms Bronco Parts (TBP) wheel hubs were installed. The Bronco runs and drives like new and 4WD system functions perfectly. The Bronco retains it’s original 4.11 LSD Ford 9-inch rear with original Dana 30, 4.10 gear front axle.
