1968 Ford Bronco

Description

Introduced as a competitor to Jeep's legendary CJ and the venerable International Scout, Ford's awesome Bronco has always been a paramount of utility and versatility. And today, especially with the reintroduction of the brand as a Ford Icon, its quickly becoming a paramount of style and collectability. As with most things in the collector car realm, the older the Bronco the better. And this beast, a timeless take on timeless Americana, features two tops, an uncut body and the Ford V8 power that seemingly every first-generation Bronco buyer craves! Looking for a cool classic that's built, buff and ready to roll? Here it is!

TRUCKS CAN BE CONVERTIBLES TOO

A rock-solid cruiser that's benefitted from acute, frame-up restoration, this clean ute marries uncut factory metal with correct Meadowlark Yellow two-stage that's both unique and stylishly retro. At the front of that flash, a Pure White grille hangs crisp parking lamps and stainless-trimmed halogen headlights above a Pure White bumper that's finished with polished Dietz fog lamps. Behind that grille, a heavy hood points polished windshield washer nozzles at a hinged windscreen. That shield, cleared by electric wipers, gets shaded by either Parchment vinyl or a Bright White hardtop. A buff profile plants polished factory mirrors and polished factory door handles above flowing “Bronco” scripts and polished fuel caps that front separate tanks. And at the back of the truck, a “FORD” branded tailgate shades a second Bright White bumper between factory taillights and polished exhaust tips.

NEVER SEND AN INLINE SIX TO DO A V8'S JOB

Drivability is the number one concern for folks wanting to purchase a classic they can actually cruise. That's why it's always nice when you find something that, like this Bronco, has been carefully restored and, like this Bronco, features proven power. Pop the hood and you'll find 289 cubic inches of compact Ford power that's been fully rebuilt and fully sorted. At the top of that mill, a correct first-gen Bronco air cleaner floats breeze through a big 2-barrel carburetor. At the base of that carb, a factory intake feeds stock heads. At the front of those heads, a reliable points distributor shoots fire through proven Napa Mileage Plus plug wires. Cooling is provided by a correct, original-style radiator. Exhaust drops through fully restored factory manifolds. The smooth engine rolls in a clean engine bay that's flooded with nostalgic Meadowlark Yellow skin. And niceties like Bronco valve covers, a Mr. Gasket breather and a vivid red dipstick amp up the truck's already impressive appearance.

BUILT FORD TOUGH

Built Ford Tough from day one, this beast is ready to storm the trail! Torque meets the pavement through a tough C4 3-speed, which works well with a correct Dana 20 transfer case. That drivetrain powers a 9-inch rear axle which, along with a familiar Dana 30 front axle, pushes a Satin Black frame on a factory-spec suspension. Turns are made much easier with retrofitted power steering. Stops are greatly aided by retrofitted power front disc and rear drum brakes. Aluminized exhaust funnels great sounds through rowdy Flowmaster mufflers. And at the corners, polished aluminum slots twist 235/75R15 Firestone Destination A/Ts around locking Superwinch hubs.

ENJOY THE TRIP!

Between the doors, short bucket seats join a compact bench in stretching familiar Parchment vinyl beneath color-keyed lap belts. A simple dash floats a thin pad on retro knobs, crisp Dakota Digital VHX telemetry and more Bright White paint. That dash hides a modern Polk Audio DXi speaker, which expresses a modern head unit. That dash matches attractive, Bright White door panels. A decidedly Mid-Century steering wheel laps a simple column shifter above restoration-fresh carpet. And a 4-point roll bar greatly increases safety.

It's no wonder the Ford Bronco has become one of the market's most popular options for stylish, high-riding transportation! With sweet aesthetics, epic swagger and muscle car streetability, this clean ute is an excellent combination of form and function. Call your friends at http://www.RKMotors.com for more information!
