Having sold more of these early broncos than just about any other dealer, we have a pretty good handle on what makes them so special. The best broncos stick to the factory recipe instead of going too hardcore. Modifications are a matter of taste, but just about everyone can agree that this little red 4x4 is a great-looking truck. Good panel fit and a great shine to the paint don't seem to be hiding any nasty secrets underneath, although it's impossible to guarantee a truck like this hasn't had its share of fun off road. It's just a nice truck! The interior is basic, yes, but it does basic with lots of style. The bucket seats are clearly close relatives of those found in early mustangs, and they've been reupholstered in comfortable white ultra-leather with vertical pleats with a rear bench seat to match. The dash puts all the gauges in a single round pod to the left of the steering column, while the secondary controls are arrayed across the middle. It includes the original am radio in the dash and a familiar ford column shifter for the 3-speed manual transmission. The 302 cubic inch v8 offered in later broncos like this is what should have been there all along. Torquey, smooth, and way fun to drive, it matches the bronco's personality perfectly. It appears fairly stock under the hood, with a 2-barrel carburetor, heavy-duty air cleaner, simple painted valve covers, and even the original exhaust manifolds. The 3-speed shifts crisply and the heavy-duty axles never seem to mind the work off-roading. There is a recent set of shocks under there, along with what appear to be fresh coils up front, giving it a slightly taller stance that allows plenty of room for those big new 235/75/15 off-road tires on simple steel wheels. Make no mistake, early broncos are red hot and this one is a very good example that's ready to enjoy. Whatever the terrain, the bronco is always entertaining. Bucket Seats✔ Air Conditioning
