West Coast Classics are proud to present this 1972 Ford Bronco
Wagon (Chassis U15GLM45815) which perfectly balances iconic
first-generation styling with modern, driver-focused performance
upgrades. Benefiting from extensive refurbishment and thoughtful
modifications, this classic 4x4 stands ready for local cruising or
open-air trail riding.Exterior Styling & Structural
Upgrades:The body is presented in a deep dark red finish, which was
repainted during recent ownership following the professional
installation of replacement wheel-arch flares. Structurally sound,
the vehicle features freshly replaced floor pans that have been
entirely sealed in durable bedliner material for maximum longevity.
The vintage aesthetic is accented by bright chrome bumpers, a black
cabin roll hoop, and a removable white soft top. It rides on a
commanding set of 15? polished slotted alloy wheels wrapped in
33�12.5? BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires, complete with a
full-size matching spare mounted to the heavy-duty rear swing-out
carrier.Under the hood sits a potent, rebuilt 302ci V8 built for
performance. The engine features upgraded aluminum cylinder heads,
a high-performance camshaft, and an Edelbrock Performer intake
manifold topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. Exhaust
gases flow through premium long-tube headers into a deep-tone dual
exhaust system. Power is funneled through a column-shifted
three-speed manual transmission, an upgraded high-performance
driveshaft, and a dual-range transfer case for versatile
four-wheel-drive capability. Recent mechanical upkeep includes a
fresh oil service and new spark plugs and ignition wires to ensure
reliable turn-key operation.Mechanical enhancements
include:Suspension Lift: Upgraded ride height paired with Rancho
shocks and a dedicated steering stabilizer.Power Brakes: Modernized
braking performance via front disc brakes and a power-assisted
brake booster.Refreshed Custom Cabin:The interior has been
completely retrimmed in crisp white upholstery spanning the front
bucket seats, rear bench, and interior door panels. The cabin floor
is protected by fresh black carpeting, and the dash features a
newly replaced pad. Drivers are treated to a wood-rimmed steering
wheel fronting a factory 100-mph combination gauge cluster that
accurately monitors speed, fuel levels, charging status, coolant
temperature, and oil pressure.Interior creature comforts
include:Kenwood Audio: Modern head unit feeding a clear
four-speaker sound system.Cabin Controls: Functional vent windows
and a floor-mounted Hurst shifter.Secure Storage: Both a locking
glovebox and a rugged, locking center console.Note: The odometer
currently displays 23,000 miles, though total chassis mileage is

early Bronco that demands attention wherever it goes.Mechanics
