- A True 1st-Gen Classic with Factory Appeal: The first-generation Ford Bronco was launched in 1966 as a direct competitor to the Jeep CJ and International Scout, with production continuing through 1977. This 1973 Ranger-trimmed example showcases the classic short-wheelbase 4x4 platform, featuring uncut rear fenders—a hallmark of original sheet metal and a desirable attribute among purists.
- 302ci V8 with Automatic Transmission: This Bronco is powered by a 302 cubic inch V8 mated to an automatic transmission, making it both capable off-road and easy to drive in town. A true dual-range 4WD system ensures trail-ready performance, while recent service includes electrical updates, a full brake system overhaul, and a modern starter setup for improved reliability.
- Simple, Rugged Style Inside and Out: Finished in white with chrome bumpers and steel wheels, the body shows straight lines and classic styling, though rust is present on panel edges and fasteners. The interior features black vinyl bucket seats, a black “Bullhide” liner, a white painted dash with functioning gauges, and a large rear cargo area—offering utility with vintage appeal.
- California-Based, Clean Title Example: This Bronco is being offered by its private owner in Southern California. It’s sold with a clean and clear title and presents an opportunity to own a first-gen Ford Bronco with solid bones, running condition, and collector-grade features like the uncut rear quarters.
