1976 Ford Bronco 4x4 Explorer

Description

These first-gen Broncos are extraordinary and extremely popular. In fact, you'll likely not find another with low mileage and an awesome color combo that's stock. And this even has A/C! So while this may be associated with a wild horse, you're probably really looking at a unicorn.

The first thing to appreciate about his Bronco is the way it looks. The copper paint has an excellent gloss that shows off the crisp and well-respected body panels. The Marti Report lets us know this was born with the Explorer tan stripe package, and it really works terrifically well here. It coordinates with the grille, brush guard, and tire cover on the rear swing-away mount to deliver a coordinated two-tone. Even the hardtop goes with this color package when it's in place. And we particularly like the look, because this classic's last home was Arizona, and it just looks like a desert sunset. And Bronco fans know to look for the little things within the originality, like the uncut rear fenders.

More earth-tones greet you inside for a very natural and vintage Bronco. This has a very stock feel, but it's also quite comfortable with the nice vinyl on the seats and the convenience of personal buckets up front. And everything from the thick rubber flooring w/carpeted mats to the wood-like trim on the doors has the right classic feel. Plus, there's just an overall feeling of quality when you have good fundamentals, like clean glass, well-fitting doors, and pliable weather-stripping. There were also some well-integrated upgrades, like the retro-style AM/FM radio, a roll bar, and a cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. Nothing looks out of place, but it really does make the difference for a classic you'll want to drive.

Under the hood is proper Ford power. The 302 cubic-inch V8 was the largest offered in these Broncos, and this one has a very stock and clean style. In fact, Bronco fans will love to know that the correct offset blue air grabber even comes with the sale. It's a strong runner that feels solid out on the road. The three-speed automatic transmission makes it easier to enjoy, and the Bronco was one of the first SUVs with a coil spring front end. Add in power steering and power brakes w/discs up front for a great feeling on the road. And don't forget, this is a true 4x4 with a two-speed transfer case. So even on a pristine example like this, the fun doesn't end when the pavement does.

The sale comes complete with terrific paperwork, including the original warranty card, owner's manual, reproduction window sticker, and deluxe Marti Report. If you love Broncos, you know this is a true rarity that needs to continue to be cherished. Call today!!!
