This is a very well built Bronco. Fresh off a full restoration with only 500 miles on the clock to help shake out any bugs. This one is sorted and fresh! Built as a keeper, this Bronco has seen countless hours of labor as well as a substantial $$$$ investment. There are many tasteful modifications as well as a very obvious attention to detail. Take a good look at the photos and the videos.

To start off with the body on this Bronco is in excellent condition. Painted in Calypso Coral and Wimbledon White, this one is a true stand out. The more you see it, the more you like it. Perhaps the most obvious is the 'Half-Cab'. Take a closer look and this in not your ordinary cab. It is actually a modified full top cut down to a half cab. It now has a full size rear window that slopes down as well as contoured opening around the door post. The narrow door posts that so often crack out in Broncos have been widened giving them a better look and better sealing as well. The metal work alone would have cost thousands to do this. Take a look at the photos and the videos, this is a very nice touch. Add ons like the Cougar Eliminator Hood Scoop are both functional giving the engine the nice cold air it deserves as well as a great look. The heavy duty bumpers were fabricated as well. The front houses a Warn Winch should you ever need it. Out back the rear bumper integrates a nice step as well as a functional trailer hitch. These were fabricated for this Bronco and look great. For the build a nice body was selected then stripped to bare metal. The panels are nice and straight and the paint finish is nice as well. While not perfect by show car standards it is easily in the 99% of Broncos. The door jambs, under hood and interior were also stripped and painted as well. The tub was fully lined with Bedliner and painted body color. There is quite a lot to this one.

A 4-point roll bar is included for when the Half-Cab Top is off. It comes with all the fasteners as well as a Bikini top and a factory back seat with seat belts. This is the perfect top off summer rig too, so the back seat is awesome!!!

Inside the bucket seats are in excellent condition with nice reproduction upholstery. New carpet has been added to the front cab to keep it quiet and insulate from the heat & cold outside. The bedliner used inside also insulates sound & heat to make this a nice, quiet Bronco to drive. The metal dash was completely stripped and repainted. The bezels are in good condition and the gauges work properly.

Under the hood a 1969 351W has been installed. With approximately 300 miles it is not even through its break-in yet. It has been fitted with an Edelbrock Aluminum Intake and 4 Barrel Carburator. A Comp Cams 268 performance cam was added along with roller rockers. Nice Flowmaster mufflers and a dual exhaust system let the engine breath freely. The engine produces well over 2 1/2 times the original 302's power. It has excellent street manners though and thanks to a large radiator and fan shroud it runs nice and cool.

The Highly Desirable C4 Automatic Transmission goes into gear nicely and shifts are crisp. This is a very nice option to have.

The newest Vintage Air Heat and Air Conditioning kit was just installed bringing this Bronco up to date. Easily able to heat up the cab on the coldest of days or cool it down on the hottest this is the kit to have on your Bronco! All new quality components should last for many years too.

The brakes are all new as well. A full front conversion from Tom's Broncos consists of new Warn Hubs, Brake Booster & Master, Proportioning Valve, Hard Lines, Stainless Braided Hoses, Calipers, Rotors, Bearings and Seals. Out back new shoes and cylinders were installed. This Bronco will stop quick, straight & reliable every time!

The Warn Winch has been mounted in the custom bumper for that 'Just-In-Case'. The controls are all in the glove box and use is straight forward for anyone.

The wheels are American Racing 17" with Mud Terrain Cooper tires. They look great and with only 500 miles have many miles of fun left in them.
