1968 Ford Bronco

Available for purchase, a 1968 Ford Bronco in excellent condition. This is a solid truck from the desert southwest. I've been fixing it up for the last several years and it's seen only light use in that time. I'm selling it in order to pursue other automotive projects (specifically the restoration of a 1953 Buick). I originally bought it so that I could take the top off and enjoy the gorgeous southwest summers (and springs and falls) but I just don't get out off roading much anymore and it seemed like a shame to have such a nice truck going to waste just for occasional city driving. This truck is definitely a head turner anywhere you go and it's been a lot of fun to own.

Features:

• 289 c.i. V-8 was recently given a full tune-up and it's running extremely well.
• Recently rebuilt front and rear brakes.
• Kenwood KMD-42 minidisc stereo receiver with optional aux input cable and remote control
• Custom installed James Duff 3-speed floor shifter (replaced the original and notoriously unreliable column shifter)
• James Duff transfer case shifter
• James Duff 70/30 shocks all around
• James Duff ~4 inch suspension lift
• Mustang bucket seats (driver's side is power)
• Tuffy steel locking center console
• Bikini top and brackets for it
• A 2nd set of utility hooks that were removed to accomodate the roll bar
• Double gas tanks
• New battery (replaced 03/05)
• New floor mats

Known problems:

• The turn signals work intermittently
• The wipers don't work and one of the wiper blades is missing.
• The gauges in the gauge cluster don't seem to be reading correctly

Despite those problems, I'd still say that the truck is in very good shape. Mechanically, it runs very well. It always starts up easily and I haven't had any problem with the engine, transmission or any part of the drive train. The 4-wheel drive also works great.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (xxx)xxx-xxxx, or email me at xxx@xxx.xxx. The truck is sold as-is with no warranty. Please ask all questions ahead of time.

Buyer is responsible for paying any and all taxes, license fees, shipping etc... but I would be willing to deliver the truck within the southwest for a fee (please call or email ahead of time ti discuss that option). Alternately I can help get it to any shipper here in El Paso. Upon completion of the auction, I will require a deposit of $1,000.00 to be paid within 48 hours and the balance will be due within ten days. The vehicle is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early if I have a local buyer.

Pictures:

Several people asked for shots of the engine and more detailed views of the truck so I've added a few to show the overall condition of the truck. You'll notice the the driver's side has a little bit of rust beneath the door and the tailgate has a small amount as well. Keep in mind that this truck is almost 40 years old and that these are the only significant areas of rust on it. It has had other repairs done to it by previous owners but as far as I can tell they were all done using new sheetmetal.
