1969 Ford Bronco-original Owner on 2040-cars

I picked up this Bronco about 10 months ago from the original owners family. Mr. Leo Rice bought it new in November 1968 at Starr Ford in Roseville Calif.  Roseville is a few miles east of Sacramento in Northern California. It spent its whole life there as Mr. Rice was a Air Force Pilot stationed at McClellan AFB in Sacramento. He flew C130s during the Vietnam War. When Mr. Rice passed away, his daughter and son in law inherited it where it was kept in running condition until I bought it. It currently has just over 106,000 original miles. It was well maintained by way of oil changes which I have a thick folder. I received all original paperwork including purchase agreement and service manuals. Mr. Rice also grabbed the original Dealer brochure that was in the showroom when he picked up the Bronco.

Since purchasing, I have rebuilt the entire brake system with new shoes and wheel cylinders. I have installed new front coil springs and all new shocks all around. I have also replaced the steering stabilizer. I have completely replaced the entire exhaust with stock original. I have repaired any and all leaks that this vehicle had. Replaced leaking rear mail seal and pan gasket. Replaced leaking rear pinion seal. I have put in new spark plugs, rotor, condenser, points and cap. I had the original carburetor rebuilt and replaced the fuel filter. I installed new air and oil filters with new oil change. I replaced the windshield washer tank. I have installed a new battery. This is a 3 speed on the column and no chatter in clutch.

On the interior I replaced all the seat covers with correct original reproduction. I replaced the padded dash and glove box. I took the speedometer apart as it got noisy from sitting and cleaned, lubricated and installed all new light bulbs. I scrubbed the entire inside with simple green while the interior was out including the original rubber floor covering which now looks new. I repainted the interior of the doors as the were scratched and had 4" speaker holes that were cut in. I patched those with round discs as seen in pictures. I installed a new reproduction headliner. I also have installed all new weather stripping throughout the vehicle. The front windshield was replaced due to a crack.

On the outside I buffed the second repaint and polished it. The paint is very nice. I replaced all the emblems, lenses and marker lenses. I installed new door handles. I sandblasted the wheels and repainted to match the vehicle. I installed reproduction stainless steel hubcaps. I replaced the rear bumper which was a "Barden" type and that is why you see 2 holes on each side of the body where it attached to the rear fender. I also inspected very thoroughly any possibility of any rust issues and found none. I am aware of this vintage Ford Bronco and where they rust. Nothing was found.

---Final Condition---

Everything works on this Bronco including the windshield washer and emergency brake light. Radio Heater and Defroster all perform well. The only thing that does not work is the auxiliary gas tank sending unit. I am too lazy to pull the tank down.

The Bronco starts, runs and drives perfectly and leaks nothing. It does not smoke, use oil or run anywhere north of mid range on the gauge. When driving and since completing all above there is not 1 rattle anywhere inside which it had many when I bought it.

It is very quiet inside while driving.

I am selling to move on to the next flip. Please call me with any questions. NOTE: Unless you are an active bidder/buyer on EBAY and with at least 5 feedbacks in last 6 months, please contact me first or your bid will be rejected.

NO DISSAPOINTMENTS if you buy this car.

Forgot to mention that Mr. Rice had a electric winch installed after he bought the Bronco. You can see the winch in the front bumper. It works excellent.
