Searching for a vintage SUV with its factory styling still intact, but don't want to have to cross your fingers every time you get behind the wheel? Then you'll definitely want to check out this 1973 Ford Bronco Sport 4x4. This first-generation Bronco is dressed in green paint that has a smooth texture and a decidedly vintage appearance, and the metal flake it contains nearly radiates when you bring it out in the sun. The accompanying bright work is in fine shape, with no dings to be found. This classic was said to have been restored by the professionals at Venice Broncos in California, and the results are undeniable. It looks and runs great.
The interior is sure to impress, with tan vinyl upholstery covering front buckets and a rear bench seat that is virtually new. Between them is a locking Tuff storage box that comes in handy for stowing valuables. As you direct your attention forward, you'll notice that the color-matched dash area really pops, with its collection of clear functional gauges and a dash pad over the top that ties in perfectly with the other upholstery. The air conditioning system works flawlessly to keep you and your passengers comfortable throughout the year, and a touchscreen-operated AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth connectivity is on hand to offer plenty of audio options.
This vintage SUV hasn't logged a lot of miles since its restoration, and its rock-solid running condition makes it a good match for frequent driving. Its 302-cubic-inch V8 starts up without a hitch, and armed with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake manifold, it idles smoothly and pulls with plenty of conviction. The engine pairs with a 3-speed automatic C4 transmission that shifts smoothly. With Bilstein shocks at all four corners, the ride is firm, but by no means harsh, and power brakes that include discs up front provide prompt, fade-resistant stops. Long tube headers allow for easy breathing and terminate in a pair of Thrush mufflers that add a nice, deep rumble. A look below will reveal steering and suspension components that are ready for plenty of future miles of driving enjoyment.
