For Sale: 1973 Ford Bronco in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

INTRODUCTION: Only 220 miles on a 2-year, $150,000 nut and bolt restoration by AllN1 Autoworks! This is one of the best custom Bronco we've ever had, our shop is absolutely raving about this one. The fit, finish and attention to detail are outstanding, and the performance backs up the looks. It's a show quality build you can actually get in, turn the key and enjoy!

EXTERIOR: This one's a looker! The stunning Grabber Blue Metallic with satin black accents really pops, and it sits proud on those big mudder tires. The fit and finish is amazing: the body is laser straight, the gaps are precise, and the doors shut like it's new. The Grabber Blue Metallic paint is polished like glass. All the trim has been blacked out, including the mirrors, hinges and door handles, complemented by the satin black roof. A custom-fabricated grille features bold BRONCO lettering and LED headlights, while heavy duty custom bumpers incorporate tow hooks front and back and a built in LED light bar up front. Black Bronco graphics on the fenders add just the right amount of sportiness. Something I didn't even notice at first is the all-new smoked, flush-mounted glass. The vent windows were eliminated from the doors, creating a clean one piece window. Open a door and the power running boards automatically extend, complete with integrated LED lighting, then tuck neatly out of sight when the door closes. It's a great combination of classic Bronco attitude, exceptional craftsmanship and modern touches. Fender flares help cover the 20x10 Method Racing wheels with beadlocks, wrapped in massive 35-inch Nitto Trail Grappler tires. A fifth matching wheel and tire is mounted out back on a heavy duty swing away carrier.

INTERIOR: It was completely gutted and refinished from top to bottom. The rear bed area is coated in durable blue bedliner material, while the doors and dash are finished in gloss blue and the inside of the roof is satin black. Gray carpet runs neatly from front to back, and a roll bar adds to the rugged look. You sit very comfortably in a pair of Corbeau sport seats, with a matching Corbeau rear seat and seat belts for everyone. Between the front seats is a locking center console with a padded armrest. The dash has been completely updated with a new instrument cluster featuring a mini tachometer, an LED shift indicator, and neatly integrated Vintage Air controls with under dash vents. A leather cushioned grip steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, and the wiper system has been upgraded with modern motors. For entertainment, there's a powerful JBL 1,000 watt Bluetooth stereo system, 2 10 inch subs and speakers with tweeters. Overall, it's a sharp, functional interior that combines classic Bronco character with modern comfort and upgrades.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is a Ford Racing 347 stroker crate engine producing 360 horsepower. It's equipped with aluminum heads, an aluminum intake, Edelbrock carburetor with electric choke, coated headers and electronic ignition. A CVF serpentine front runner system keeps everything neat and modern, along with power steering and Vintage Air heat and air conditioning. Power brakes utilize a Wilwood master cylinder. It runs cool with an aluminum radiator, overflow bottle, electric fan and shroud. The engine bay itself is beautifully finished with a smooth firewall and custom fabricated filler panels. All the surrounding metalwork is finished to a high standard, while a great looking set of cast aluminum valve covers gives the 347 some character. Everything is neatly installed and well organized, right down to the upgraded gas struts that smoothly raise and support the hood.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The matching spare tire swings easily out of the way, allowing full access to the rear. The tailgate opens smoothly with the assistance of gas struts and new hardware. It is coated in a durable, color matched chip guard finish. Inside, the cargo area has a very clean, finished appearance with custom fabricated AllN1 side panels.

UNDERSIDE: Underneath is just as impressive! Everything was rebuilt or replaced. It features a 3.5-inch long travel suspension with Bilstein gas shocks featuring remote reservoirs. The steering and suspension were completely rebuilt, including a Bilstein steering stabilizer, rebuilt axles and rebuilt transfer case. The brake system was completely upgraded with Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes featuring drilled and slotted rotors. The lines and hoses are all new. A beautifully fabricated stainless steel TIG welded dual exhaust runs through MagnaFlow mufflers, and the fuel tank has been custom relocated. The floors are completely rust free metal protected with durable black chip guard, while the frame was thoroughly prepped and finished in smooth gloss black. Looking up at the engine, everything is clean and detailed, including a high torque starter. The drivetrain was also upgraded with a Ford AOD automatic overdrive transmission, making this Bronco much more enjoyable at cruising speeds. There are 3.73 posi gears in the differentials. It's not just dressed up underneath, the drivetrain was comprehensively rebuilt and upgraded to perform as good as this Bronco looks!

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale.

CONCLUSION: This is a high end build that was done right by a professional shop. The aggressive yet sporty looks grab your attention, while all the mechanical upgrades make it a Bronco you can actually get out and enjoy. You're going to love showing it off, and you're going to look forward to every opportunity to put it in drive and go!
