There isn't much to say about this truck but WOW. This is an original 1974 Bronco, not a restoration project. What you are looking at is exactly what left the factory in 1974 plus a lot of great upgrades. To build this truck as it is setup would run you well north of 45k if you could find a specimen this nice to start with. The owner is realizing he has a few too many toys and some of them need to go, he is also the owner of an excavating company and he knows how to treat his fleet. The pics speak for themselves. This Bronco rarely sees daylight, it is driven and shown a few times annually. I am helping to sell it, the owner is a very good friend of mine.

So what you have here is an original 1974 Bronco Ranger Edition. The body is rust free, there is one small spot of surface imperfection under the paint as seen in the pics. There is one small ding on the LR corner and  molding as seen (we are not sure when or how it happened but I don't like surprises when picking something up so it is pointed out.) This is the original interior fabric and carpet.
The original unmolested 302 still sits proudly under the hood, it now has a HEI electronic ignition. The hood was professionally reconfigured to accommodate the taller more reliable distributor. Standard 3 speed (on the tree) has never been touched other than oil service and shifts like the day it was purchased. Limited slip front and rear axles.
Vehicle is OIL UNDERCOATED (HEAVILY)

New Clutch w/ 19 finger modern pressure plate with disc flywheel and throw out bearing were installed (NICE)
Factory steering gearbox was replaced with 3:1 ratio.
Rancho Steering Dampener and Front Springs
New Rear Shocks
US Wheel Chrome Spoked wheels with BF Groodrich Radial T/A (Like New)

New C bushings and alaignment
New Flowmaster Dual Exhaust
Duff 2 inch Lift
ClassisAir  A/C professionally installed 
Factory Dual Fuel Tanks with Skid Plates 
Aftermarket AM/FM Clarion Cassette

This Bronco is very well documented with ultra low mileage. Current Owner is the 4th owner, we have the original window sticker, owner's manual, brochure, sales invoice, registration, original title and many other related documents.
This Bronco is a very rare find in this condition. The vehicle is sold as is with no warranty but I can tell you this truck runs and drives as nice as it looks it is a real piece of American History and a treasure for a Ford Collector or enthusiast. The current owner has over 33k invested in this truck, the reserve will reflect that. Please no low ball offers, we are not desperate to move it . The truck is for sale locally and via other venues so this listing could end without notice. If you want to make a reasonable offer send it, the worst we can say is no.
All standard equipment parts  removed are included with the sale. The only thing we do not have are the stock wheels but we do have the original hub caps (not reproductions). The truck currently sits in it's stable in Castleton Vermont and can be seen by prearranged appointment. We would love to show it, please let us know if you are interested.
I would not hesitate to drive it home regardless of where home is. We will be happy to help with shipping or Export. We can also help with transportation to or from a nearby airport, however anything beyond the sale price of the vehicle is the responsibility of the buyer.
 
A 500 Dollar non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the sale. Completion and payment in Cash or Certified Funds is expected within 10 days of purchase.

I have provided the most accurate description I can and provided great pictures but remember this is a 40 year old vehicle. What you see is what you are buying there will be no surprises when you come to pick it up.
THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
