1976 Ford Bronco Sport Loaded Uncut Original Paint Survivor Hd 4x4 on 2040-cars

Very rarely these days do you come across an all original uncut, solid bodied, original paint Ford Bronco Sport. Today you have done just that.

This 1976 Ford Bronco Sport is loaded with power options, & is still wearing it original coat of (best color) Tangerine paint. Power options include factory power disk brakes, power steering, C4 automatic transmission, HD 4X4 suspension package with 9 inch limited slip posi rear end 3.50:1 ratio, heavy duty Dana 44 front axle, & Dana 20 transfer case. Vehicle also comes with rare factory divider panel (not pictured), which separates front seat area from truck bed.

Anybody considering buying an early Bronco should pay close attention to factory power options, as they will save you thousands of dollars in upgrades. I also own a 1974 Bronco (shown in background pic) which came 3 speed manual, & manual drum brakes. I spent nearly $4,000 converting it to correct auto trans & power disk brakes! The Bronco I am selling today came FACTORY with these options. The second important thing to consider is the rust factor. Early Broncos are notorious for rusting out, this one is super solid!

This Bronco went straight to California when it was built, & has spent it’s entire life in the hot, dry Central Valley. This truck has definitely been used, but not abused. Mileage reads 58,209 which has rolled over 1 time, so I believe actual mileage is 158,209 (undocumented). Prior owner is believed to be original, as title shows ownership since 1983, just after loan payoff. Engine was said to be rebuilt at 102,000, which means engine has 56,000 miles since rebuild (also undocumented).

Since the Tangerine paint is original, there are no worries about hidden rust or accident damage. All the minor bumps & bruises on this vehicle have nothing to hide. It appears that the top of the roof was repainted 1 time, likely due to the hot valley sun baking the paint.

Mechanically the vehicle is operational. The engine starts & runs smooth with plenty of V8 power. The transmission & transfer case shift into all gears in 2WD & 4WD. The auto trans should be serviced soon with new fluid & filter to ensure a long life. A complete inspection of the brake system should  also be performed prior to daily use since vehicle sat a few years prior to my ownership. Brakes work fine now but a full inspection is highly recommended. I removed the main fuel tank and had it cleaned, rebuilt the factory carb, & replaced the fuel pump for smooth operation. Reserve fuel tank has been bypassed as it still needs cleaned prior to operation.

This vehicle is equipped with California emissions & should pass a CA smog check since all the smog equipment & catalytic converter are in tact. An aftermarket A/C system was added to vehicle but I removed the faulty ‘hangdown’ unit. All the under hood components for the A/C are still in place.

Finally, the interior still has original seats & steering wheel. Dash pad has a cover lay cap, & front floor has a new vinyl mat. Originally, vehicle had a beige colored rubber mat set with Bronco logo in poor condition. I did save the mat in case someone wants to duplicate it. Upon replacing mat it was discovered that floors are very solid with only a few minor spots at front that required a small repair.

Overall, this is an extremely hard to find, unrestored, hard loaded Bronco with the best color available in 1976. Please read the ad carefully before bidding.
