 I have up for bid a rare 1973 Ford Bronco 4x4 with the Ranger trim package.  This was purchased form the original owners, and had been in barn storage for the past 23 years.  This Bronco features the original 302 V8 engine and automatic transmission.  This is going to be sold as a project or parts vehicle due to the amount of rust that the body has in it.  I have taken quite a few photos to try to give a good idea of what you would be getting.  Both front fenders are very rusty, especially inside the door jams.  Both doors are gone, not available.  Even if they were still with the truck, there is nothing left to hold the hinges due to rust out.  The tail gate is rusted out, as well as the inner rear fender wells.  There are two large rust holes in the floor of the cargo area as well.  The top/roof appears to be in very good condition and is not rusted out at all that I have found.  The inner grill is in good condition, as well as the hood. The engine is not locked up, and with a little effort should be able to get it running.  I have all four original hubcaps and also have the spare tire carrier.  The rear bench seat is no longer with the truck.  The front seats are in fair to good condition.  All of the window glass is in tact and usable.  The tires are all dry rotted from having sat for so many years.  Three out of the four tires hold air.  The left front will not take air.  The rear inner side panel have been removed and are no longer available.  The odometer is currently reading 09983, which I believe is going to be 109, 983 actual miles. 
The factory color is Wind Blue.  The truck came equipped with the Ranger package, power steering, delete tape treatment, 4450 LB GVW package, Cruise-o-matic, RH chrome mirror, LH Remote control mirror, Body Side Moulding, Extra cooling radiator with a total sticker price of $4951.48 new.  Bought new in Harrisonville, MO at Marvin Burris Ford-Mercury on 05/25/73
I have just about all of the original paperwork that came with this truck, including the window sticker, original owner's manual, and original sales invoice.   I realize that this Bronco has a LOT of rust, but there is still a lot of potential to restore this rare truck.  OR there are a lot of good, usable parts for this to be a donor for another 66-73 Bronco.  These first generation Broncos are becoming more and more difficult to find, and in nice condition are commanding big prices so this is very much a worthwhile project to invest in.

Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding.  ALL SALES FINAL!  Winning bidder is required to make full payment within 3 DAYS of the close of the auction through Paypal. I will only accept cash in hand if the buyer is able to come pick the Bronco up within the allotted time period required for full payment. Again, please contact me prior to the auction ending if you have a question about this or anything else regarding this auction.

I will not make shipping arrangements.  That is the responsibility of the buyer.  This truck is for pickup ONLY, and must be picked up at my location (ZIP 64040) within 20 days of the auction ending unless PRIOR arrangements are made with me before the auction ends.  Please do not send me a message AFTER the auction has ended and tell me that it will be longer than 20 days before you can pick this up.  I will charge a daily storage fee after the 20 days has past.  I hate to be that way, but too many times I have sold items such as this and they have sat at my place for months on end waiting to be picked up. 

NOTE REGARDING MY FEEDBACK - Please take a look at the ONE negative feedback that I have.  The buyer attempted to remove the negative feedback, but for some reason was unable to do so.  He stated that it was miscommunication and that he was satisfied with his purchase.  I pride myself in being honorable in my transactions, and try hard to describe items that I am offering to the best of my ability.

Please take a look at the other items that I have up for auction, and thank you for stopping by!
