Details

This custom 1973 Ford Bronco received a complete frame-off rotisserie restoration as an 18-month project that started with a clean SUV stripped down and completely rebuilt by the owner. This Bronco is powered by a new Tri-Star 302-HO crate engine paired with a rebuilt C4 transmission and a completely rebuilt and resealed Dana 20 transfer case with shifting controlled by a twin-stick setup. Both axles and driveshafts were updated/rebuilt with the driveshafts balanced in the process. The engine exhales through shorty stainless-steel headers and a custom-galvanized 2.5-inch exhaust system. The frame and much of the suspension components have been fully powder-coated. This Bronco was stripped to bare metal, and the body was straightened and painted using an updated version of Ford's Limestone Green Metallic. It also features a Wimbledon White top. This Bronco retains much of its original uncut appearance and sits on a 2.5-inch upgraded suspension system with front disc brakes, large rear drum brakes and 7.5-inch steel wheels on BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires. This Bronco received a completely new interior, including the addition of custom Parchment-colored high-back bucket seats, a rear folding seat, new door and quarter-panels, color-matched carpet, high-end Bluetooth stereo, a new tilt steering column, upgraded switches and a rebuilt gauge cluster.
