1973 Bronco with a Harley Davidson theme....
This Bronco has just had a facelift within the past year. As you can see, it is a rust free solid Bronco that I purchased from its second owner who had the Bronco in Texas for over 25 years. He bought it from his neighbor, the original owner, who sold it when he needed some money in the early '80's. The Bronco had only 24K on this original motor when I purchased it from the second owner.
Being an avid biker myself, I changed the theme of this fun truck to please the Harley Davidson side of me. I have retuned and conducted a facelift on this truck to please most that see it. It is really sharp and runs like a champ. This engine is the original 302 cubic inch motor with a little over 26K on it now. It has loads of power! I have only maintained it and cleaned it up with new points, plugs and wires, new valve covers, and changed out the 2bbl to a 4bbl carburetor, and new air cleaner. It starts like a jewel without problems and has absolutely no leaks anywhere underneath it. I can't tell you enough how fun it is to take the top off and drive this powerful little truck! It steers on a dime with power steering that is very reactive.
I have the swing lever mount (painted up) for back spare tire to use as originally designed. New power brake system (works great).
One year old paint job (3 part DuPont system with two final coats on it)
HD logo seats with Marine/Boat grade material for no worries weather conditions.
36 inch tires with aluminum polished wheels and new fender flares on the body
New roll bar for the off-roading look and feel
Turned out duel exhaust for great sound and rumble
2 and 1/2 inch lift kit for more 4x4 clearance
New professionally installed Marine grade CD/Radio with IPOD capabilities of programming
Also, three Marine grade box speakers for no worry weather conditions.
New one year old vinyl canopy sport top cover for nice weather driving like a jeep that will keep the direct sun off you and the passenger
I hate to get rid of it and really am truly sad that I am selling it, but have way too many toys now and need to sell a few off to please my wife.
I will be happy to answer questions to only serious bidders. You can contact me at 217-325-3210 or on my cell @ 618-593-5129
Buyer will be responsible for pick up or delivery within a week of final sale. Seller reserves the right to end auction early as the vehicle is also for sale locally.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
Auto industry insider previews tell-all book, What Did Jesus Drive?
Tue, 11 Nov 2014
"It's about some of the biggest crises in history. It's about who did it right and who did it wrong." - Jason Vines
Jason Vines, the former head of public relations at Chrysler, Ford and Nissan, has seen a lot during his more than 30-year career, and now he's offering a behind-the-scenes look at the auto industry in his tell-all book What Did Jesus Drive? that went on sale this month.
These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
