For Sale: 1973 Ford Bronco in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1973 Ford Bronco

If you're fans of the big TV car auctions, you've undoubtedly noticed a trend that has been hot for about 15 years. Vintage 4x4's have been in high demand and none more so than first generation Ford Broncos. As a result, and as they age, subsequent generations of Broncos are also enjoying a resurgence in desirability. Ford took notice and reintroduced the Bronco with retro styling and modern materials and proportions. But the Bronco's fetching the most interest at those auctions continues to be modified first gen classics.

For consignment, a fully rebuilt 1973 Ford Bronco showing 1,713 miles, but the true mileage is unknown. Owned and garage kept during the six years of our consignor's ownership, this truck has had a recent exhaust system replacement and full restoration of the hard top.

Exterior
This Bronco looks great in a coat of two stage Rally Green Metallic which is wonderfully complemented by the black accents including the grille, fender flares, wheels and tires, bumpers, and soft top. She retains the stock profile out back but in front, halo projector headlights give the truck an updated face and they flank a Badland winch on a custom bumper. Need to be pulled instead of rescuing another? Beefy shackles are attached to the rear bumper. Dynamic 17-inch Raceline wheels carry 33x12.50R17LT tires with a mid 2017 date code and are head turners with their eight polished spokes. Imperfections here include some bubbling, orange peel finish, dull areas, chips, scuffs, filler dimples, paint runs, peeling paint on the flares, and a touch of rust on the door corner.

Interior
Attractive black vinyl door cards fit in the doors tastefully embossed with the Bronco name, with a touch of wear on the driver's handle bezel. Inside, low back bucket seats are simply configured and have weave pattern vinyl inserts while the back bench is charcoal cloth. A green roll bar sends braces to each side of the rear bench. Ahead of the wood rimmed steering wheel on a newer column is a single round gauge housing all of the pertinent information and ample billet knobs take up the right side of the column, each nicely labeled with clear text. An Alpine AM/FM/CD unit is in the dashboard, just above the vintage range selector that is floor mounted over black twist carpet covering the entire floor.

Drivetrain
Under the hood we have a 302ci V8 with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and a C4 3-speed automatic transmission behind it. Power is routed to the Ford 9" axle in back and the Dana 44 in front, both with 3.50 gears. Headers, power brakes and power steering are on board and the rig runs on a 12 volt system.

Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath with some patina and a bit of rust on body braces and inner panels. Dual exhaust travels through glasspack style mufflers and exits behind each rear wheel. Radius arm and coil springs are found up front and leaf springs supply suspension in back. Brakes are power all around with disc up front and drums in back.

Drive-Ability
We take a big step up and are perched in this tall green Ford where we bring the trusty 302 to life and send this 4x4 across the tarmac. We have good power underfoot and big tires for secure footing while side mirrors on both doors provide a good view of the road behind We note the horn and reverse lights are not working but all other functions operate as they should, and you'll find this lean, green machine in the truck room! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

The craze is not over. These are some of the most desirable vehicles in the collector world today and if you don't like compliments and questions, this might not be the truck for you. But if you want an appealing, well sorted classic Bronco, look no further than this one. Get your lasso skills in order to snag this wild horse.
