1974 Bronco Ranger - Mine - ** SOLD **

Post by cplynn »

Regretfully I am selling my Bronco--asking $14,000. I have owned this Bronco for 5 years and since buying it have focused my work and mods mostly on the drivetrain. Most of what needs to be done at this point is cosmetic. I will try to be as comprehensive as possible to describe this rig. The engine is a crate long block 351W based on 1993 Ford Lightning platform. The guy I bought it from apparently won the engine in a raffle and sold it because he did not have a project for it. He delivered the long block engine to me wrapped in plastic and in the engine crate it came in.

Pictures can be seen at:

Engine (Mileage 6656):

ΓÇó EFI 351W
ΓÇó GT40 heads
ΓÇó Ford Lightning upper and lower intake
ΓÇó Explorer front dress with serpentine
ΓÇó Wild Horses ceramic long tube headers, 2 into 1 exhaust with Flowmaster muffler
ΓÇó All new EFI sensors
ΓÇó New BBK 70mm throttle body
ΓÇó New Flamethrower Coil
ΓÇó EFI wiring harness from TBP
ΓÇó Mustang A9P ECM
ΓÇó Billet Distributor
ΓÇó Wild Horses Extreme motor mounts

Other Mods/Upgrades:

ΓÇó Rebuilt D20 transfer case (built by the legendary Viperwolf1), with Wild Horses twin stick
ΓÇó Rebuilt C4 transmission (also built by Viperwolf1)
ΓÇó High Capacity radiator built by local radiator shop
ΓÇó Front (Chevy) Disc Brake conversion with Astrovan hydroboost; new hubs, spindles, rotors and calipers
ΓÇó Rebuilt rear drums
ΓÇó Wild Horses High Pressure Power steering pump
ΓÇó Wild Horses steering shaft
ΓÇó Aero 23 gallon EFI main fuel tank
ΓÇó Wild Horses 2 inch body lift
ΓÇó 31 x 10.5 BFG A/T tires with 6700 miles on them
ΓÇó James Duff Trailer Hitch
ΓÇó Wild Horses shock absorbers at all four corners
ΓÇó New Warn Premium Locking hubs
ΓÇó Tuffy Center Console
ΓÇó New Carpet and insulation
ΓÇó New door weatherstripping
ΓÇó Recently installed fiberglass kick panel speaker pods for 5.25ΓÇ¥ speakers (speakers, amp, deck not included)
ΓÇó 8 point family roll cage
ΓÇó Driver and passenger shoulder seat belts.
ΓÇó All gauges, lights and electronics are in working order.

This is a solid running and great sounding rig and can be driven as a daily driver. Axles should be looked at and probably addressed/rebuilt at some point. The rust situation as far as I can tell is extremely minimal. The only hint of rust I can see is a small bubble on the inner passenger side quarter panel by the firewall. The kick panels, floor pans, doors, tub, tailgate and rockers are all in amazing condition. When I took the old carpet out, I could not believe the condition of the floor. I have not yet taken this Bronco four wheeling. The title for my Bronco is free and clear and in my possession.

That is a gorgeous truck. The picture of the Motor is CCB Calendar worthy. Excellent mods and quality work. Exactly what I am looking for but is outta my price range. Best of luck.

Thanks Entourage. I had a vision for that engine and almost achieved my vision fully. I had some help with the work from Viper, Rox and 76fordbronco, so a huge thanks goes out to them for all their help and advice along the way.

I know, I couldn't believe it! I hate to have to sell it because it is my dream vehicle, but current circumstances dictate that I have to sell it. Thanks for all your help and advice along the way as I got this thing to where it is today. Hopefully I will be able to get another one in a couple of years.
