1969 Bronco Sport, 351w, 3 Speed Column Shift, Great Project Bronco! on 2040-cars

 Up for auction is my 1969 Bronco Sport.  Firstly the pictures are 4 years old....the Bronco is buried in the back of my garage where it has sat for the past 4 years.  I will add more pics when I get it out!  My plan was to restore it but I never got around to it.  Have too many other projects going on and decided to let it go.

     It has a 351W engine, 3 speed column shift, 4WD, and standard brakes and steering.  The roof is NOT a factory half cab.  It is a standard wagon roof that was cut down by the previous owner and it was done very nicely.  From the outside the only way you can tell is that it has a hatchback instead of the regular rear window.  The divider behind the seats was fabricated by the same guy who did the roof. 

     It needs a full restoration but is a VERY good candidate for one!  It is VERY straight but rusty.  I did find a rust hole in the frame near the LR shock mount but repairing it shouldn't be a problem, it didn't go to either flange.  It has the typical Bronco rust in the floors and you can see the rocker panels.  There is no exhaust, just short down pipes on the exhaust manifolds.  Fenders and hood are very good other than some rust through in the leading edge of the hood on the right hand side.  The rear door posts where the door strikers are need replaced.  Front posts seem pretty solid and the doors close pretty good.  Dash pad is no good and glove box door is bent.

     The brakes are not working at all.  When I bought it the LR emergency brake cable was frozen and I had to cut it to get the brake to release.  It could be pulled on a tow dolly but you would have to bring tires for it, I would not recommend pulling it on the tires that are on it.  I will help load it. 

     I did have the engine running when I bought it but the carb was leaking gas.  I did drive it around a little and the 4WD worked and the transmission worked in all gears.  The electrical system seemed good, most of the lights worked and I suspect the ones that didn't had corrosion issues with the bulbs.  It had sat for 7 years when I bought it. 

     I have the PA title in my name.  Buyer would be responsible for transfer fees and there is a notary about 15 minutes from me.  I accept Paypal or cash when picked up.  I will help load it.  It is also for sale locally at the buy it now price so the auction may end at any time.  If you have any questions feel free to contact me!  Thanks for looking!

     I have removed it from the garage and added more pictures.  The front floors have been repaired and do not look bad, they are solid.  There is rust through behind the seat in the floor.  I included a picture of the rusted out part of the frame.  It is on the bottom between the axle and rear spring hanger.  Still repairable in my opinion, it is a box frame and could easily be pieced in and reinforced.  The floor in the rear isn't bad, just a few spots around the edges.

     ****Edit-7/18/14****   I just want to clarify about the hole in the frame.  It is clearly visible in the last picture.  In this picture you are looking at the LR corner of the Bronco from underneath looking back.  The hole is beside the spring hanger on the bottom of the frame.
