1973 Bronco with a Harley Davidson theme....
This Bronco has just had a facelift within the past year. As you can see, it is a rust free solid Bronco that I purchased from its second owner who had the Bronco in Texas for over 25 years. He bought it from his neighbor, the original owner, who sold it when he needed some money in the early '80's. The Bronco had only 24K on this original motor when I purchased it from the second owner.
Being an avid biker myself, I changed the theme of this fun truck to please the Harley Davidson side of me. I have retuned and conducted a facelift on this truck to please most that see it. It is really sharp and runs like a champ. This engine is the original 302 cubic inch motor with a little over 26K on it now. It has loads of power! I have only maintained it and cleaned it up with new points, plugs and wires, new valve covers, and changed out the 2bbl to a 4bbl carburetor, and new air cleaner. It starts like a jewel without problems and has absolutely no leaks anywhere underneath it. I can't tell you enough how fun it is to take the top off and drive this powerful little truck! It steers on a dime with power steering that is very reactive.
I have the swing lever mount (painted up) for back spare tire to use as originally designed. New power brake system (works great).
One year old paint job (3 part DuPont system with two final coats on it)
HD logo seats with Marine/Boat grade material for no worries weather conditions.
36 inch tires with aluminum polished wheels and new fender flares on the body
New roll bar for the off-roading look and feel
Turned out duel exhaust for great sound and rumble
2 and 1/2 inch lift kit for more 4x4 clearance
New professionally installed Marine grade CD/Radio with IPOD capabilities of programming
Also, three Marine grade box speakers for no worry weather conditions.
New one year old vinyl canopy sport top cover for nice weather driving like a jeep that will keep the direct sun off you and the passenger
I hate to get rid of it and really am truly sad that I am selling it, but have way too many toys now and need to sell a few off to please my wife.
I will be happy to answer questions to only serious bidders. You can contact me at 217-325-3210 or on my cell @ 618-593-5129
Buyer will be responsible for pick up or delivery within a week of final sale. Seller reserves the right to end auction early as the vehicle is also for sale locally.

Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.
'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
