Vehicle description
Really nice, tastefully and extensively upgraded (see below), great running and driving, near rust-free, 1973 Ford Bronco Explorer ( the Explorer package was only available in the spring of 1973, 1974, and 1975* ) which has spent many years in Southern California and its entire life on the West Coast. I"m the Ebay go-to guy for my family and friends so a buddy of mine (friends for 46 years) has asked me to sell it for him. He"s owned it since 1989.

As you can see from the list above, this Bronco is in excellent mechanical condition. The running gear and suspension have been upgraded to a high standard and very well-maintained. And a ll mods have been done with an eye toward increasing performance and improving drivability.
Other than the hood and a small dent in the grille, the exterior sheetmetal is in very good condition. All factory trim pieces are in place and in great shape. Front f enders, doors, quarter panels and tailgate are straight. Rust is confined to the lower front portion of the outer rockers (patch panels are inexpensive and readily available or just leave as is). The inner rockers and entire undercarriage are rust-free. My extra pictures have close-ups of everything. Please ask for them.
The interior is in good condition. The floorboards were replaced long ago and have held up very well. All flooring was coated with a paint-on liner and an older carpet kit is included. Front seats have been recovered and a matching bolt-in aftermarket folding rear seat is also included. All gauges work and all buttons and knobs are in place and operate as they should. Doors open and close solidly, all glass is good (one rock chip on windshield; not in the field of vision), and windows roll up and down properly.
This is a great Bronco which is already an awesome driver. It starts, idles, accelerates, shifts, turns, brakes and stops very well. The mechanical bones are rock-solid and and all it could use is some modest exterior cosmetic love. Or just enjoy it as it is. All the mechanical heavy lifting has been done and everything works. My hope is it ends up with someone who will preserve and enjoy it or take it to the next level.
My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call or text me at 435-669-1470. I also have over 150 pictures that show every nook and cranny in detail (including the undercarriage). Send or text me your email address and I"ll get them to you. This very cool 1973 Ford Bronco Explorer is located in the Southern California city of Hawthorne (about 15 miles southwest of Los Angeles). Thank you very much for your interest.
