Below is a list and write up provided by the owner as this vehicle is consigned to Precious Metals Fine Motor Cars of San Diego, but before you read it’s important to note and give you my personal assessment. As many of you know by my many years in the Bronco Community and years on YouTube with hundreds of Bronco Sales under my belt, I’ve had the pleasure of Consigning, Buying and Selling all the Big Builders. I want to make one thing clear as a testimony this ’73 seen here is one of the finest I’ve ever had the pleasure of representing, top tier quality to say the least. I have built many myself and I can say I don’t think there are more than 2-3 items on this rig I would have done differently and not Because its wrong but because of personal taste, it’s a well thought out Build and its Final Presentation is spot on. Its drive and potential for daily commuting use or long trips is not found in every Bronco, I can Imagine its pride of ownership is probably pretty high. The fabrication we see here is nothing less than spectacular, its detail and further detail to accommodate its already properly finished and composed items is meticulous!! Do not Hesitate or miss out, I don’t see this baby lasting to long… and if it does I’m buying it myself as I can see it, I simply just couldn’t built for the money you’re paying… David Young
