1971 Ford Bronco

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1971 Ford Bronco, a great-looking truck with many desirable options including power steering, hydroboost power brakes with front disk, and a freshly rebuilt 302 cubic inch V8 with fewer than 1,000 miles on it. Under present enthusiast ownership for the last 10 years, this truck was restored shortly prior to his purchase and has undergone regular maintenance and upgrades since.

Finished in an attractive medium grey-green metallic, finish quality is excellent over a straight and rust-free body. The only flaw to note is some slight checking on the hood. Sport trim, chrome bumpers, color-matched flares, a full black soft soft top with tinted windows, and 33x12.50 tires on 15-inch alloy wheels give this Early Bronco a great look.

The interior is finished with stock seats front and rear and a full carpet kit; upgrades include a tilt steering column, a modern gauge cluster, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a locking center console with armrest and cupholders, a locking glove box, an OE-style RetroSound stereo, plus a roll bar with three-point seat belts. The soft top is in excellent condition (indeed, few things are more fun than driving an Early Bronco on a nice day with the side and rear panels removed from the soft top). A bikini top is also included. All glass was replaced when this truck was restored and all window mechanisms were rebuilt -- so the quarter vents are in great shape, and the roll-up windows in the doors operate very smoothly with no binding. Dual wiper motor conversion works better than stock and eliminates the clunky OEM linkage.

Under the hood is a 302 cubic inch V8 remanufactured engine which was installed in November 2022 fewer than 1,000 miles ago; it has a three-year, 100,000-mile warranty so there's still well over a year of warranty remaining. A new Sanden A/C compressor came included with the engine, so it would be easy to add A/C to this truck (no other A/C components are presently installed). The engine starts easily and runs great, as you would expect, and is mated to a three-speed manual transmission (the shifter was relocated to the floor when the modern tilt column was installed). The stock 4.11 gears were swapped out with 3.73 gears a few years ago for more comfortable highway driving. Stops are straight and sure thanks to hydroboost brakes with front disk; newer suspension and steering components plus an upgraded Saginaw power steering pump afford confident handling. A modest 2.5 inch lift gives this truck a great stance and excellent off-road bona fides without sacrificing on-road drivability. And with a modern Centech wiring harness, all lights and gauges are working reliably.

This Early Bronco runs and drives very nicely; included with the sale are a reproduction owner's manual, bikini top (plus the full soft top as seen in the photos), a full-size cover, a Marti report and ten years of service records.
