combination of the big steering
wheel and quick reflexes make the
Bronco easy to handle even in the
suburban jungle. And while your
first choice will always be to drive
the Bronco alfresco, there’s a recent
white convertible top that offers
decent weather protection, just in
case.
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 personal-

ity perfectly. It appears fairly stock
under the hood, wearing bright
Ford Blue engine enamel on the air
cleaner and valve covers, a 2-barrel
carburetor, and even the original
exhaust manifolds. If you can tune a
vintage Mustang, you can tune this
Bronco and the bark from the twin
pipes out back makes it a lot of fun
to run it through the gears, on road
or off. 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 new
coils up front, giving it a slightly taller stance that allows plenty of room
for those big General off-road tires.
Affordably priced, but only for
now, this would be a great starter
collector car or even a fun daily driver. Whatever the choice, the Bronco
is always entertaining. Call today!
This vehicle is located in our
Atlanta, GA showroom. For more
