Jensen Beach, Florida, United States

1969 Ford Bronco in very close to original condition.

"Uncut" with original wheels and matching engine, transmission, transfer case, interior, etc.

VIN Plate Decode:
Series U15 = Model U150 Wagon
Engine Code G = 8 Cylinder 302 CID (2V)
Transmission Code C = Ford 3.03 3 Speed Manual Shift
Axle Code 18 = 3.50 gear ratio



1969 was the first year for the 5.0L/ 302 CID Engine, and also the first year for Electric Windshield Wipers.

This Bronco originally came from Arizona as you can see from the original Ford "Finance AAD 419 BR Form" in the photographs.

It was restored in Texas and than brought to Florida. It will be sold with a Clear Texas Title. It is has a current Texas Inspection sticker.

This truck underwent a body off frame, complete mechanical and body dissassembly and reassembly restoration. In addition a 2 1/2" Skyjacker Lift Kit and Ford Bronco power steering were installed and rubber suspension parts were replaced with Urethane.

Everything from bumper to bumper received attention including but not limited to: engine rebuild, transmission rebuild, transfer case rebuild, complete brake system replacement, complete steering linkage replacment, new springs, new shocks, new power steering, front and rear axle rebuild, u-joints and drive shafts rebuilt, new weatherstrips, new quick ratio steering box.

The engine is in great shape, does not smoke, idles smooth, makes great power and has good compression in all cylinders.

The transmission shifts smooth and effortlessly with no grinding of gears or synchronization problems.

The brakes stop perfectly and in straight line with no pulling to the left or right.

The steering is light and very responsive and the truck drive down the road perfetly straight with no pull to the left or right, the tires are about 10% worn and are wearing perfectly showing no signs of any suspension or alignment related problems.

It does not have Air conditioning, but the heater works great.

It has an original Ford Accessory front winch bumper with a Warn 8000 winch that was installed in 1973.

The truck is very reliable and cruises perfectly at highway speeds thanks to the over sized 235/85 16 tires.

There are no vibrations and it rides so smoothly you would think you were in a more modern vehicle.

The engine, transmission, transfer case, axles etc. are all the original matching components.

With an expensive paint job, this Bronco would be worth nearly 2 times the asking reserve price.

If you want a Bronco that you can actually use without worrying about getting scratches or dings this is the truck for you.

This truck was re-built the way Ford intended it to be from the factory. A tough SUV that is as useful off road as it is on the highway.

If you want a $45,000 show truck at half the price, you are looking at the wrong Bronco.

The Bronco is located in Jensen Beach, Florida. A sleepy little fishing and surfing town in Florida's Treasure Coast, just north of Stuart Florida (the Marlin Fishing capital of the world). To get here you would fly into West Palm Beach and than travel north about an hour.

The truck is being offered for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the auction early.

If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment to come see this Bronco in person, please call or text me at 305-283-8602.

Auction winner is expected to provide a non-refundable $2,000 deposit within 24 hours of auction end. Payment in full will be required within 1 week. Paypal will not be accepted for deposit or final payment. Preferred payment method will be cash in person or bank wire transfer. Payment by certified bank check may be accepted if the bank it is drawn on has a local office in Jensen Beach, Stuart, or Port St. Lucie Florida.

I can hold the vehicle at my home after the auction while you arrange shipping or travel to come pick it up, but if it will be longer than a couple of weeks I prefer it be transferred to a local secure storage facility at your expense. I will work with you in finding a secure place if necessary.

If this is not exactly what you are looking for, let me know and I may be able to revise this truck to meet your needs!

I have other Broncos and parts, so I can change wheels, bumpers, take off the winch, put stock small bumpers, even mount the shifter on the floor for you!

Heck, for a little more money I can even do a change of color!

The sky is the limit!

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.

2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
