West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptionalexample of this very desirable and collectible mostly all originaland uncut and beautifully kept 1973 Ford Bronco Sport 4WD wagonwith the 200 CID 6 cylinder engine matched to the original 3 speedmanual transmission and two speed transfer case. This is oneextremely rare early Bronco in so far as it is in very close to alloriginal condition with a completely rust and accident free bodywith a solid and original undercarriage, and apart from only onerepaint, it is in pretty much all original condition throughoutwith the exception, obviously, of any maintenance requirements overthe years! It has a removable White hard top, bucket seats, factory15" steel wheels amp; AM radio.The vehicle was purchased by it'soriginal owners at 'Meginnis Ford' of Lincoln, NE on 10/22/1973with all original owners handbook still available as well as therecords of maintenance work and a copy of the Deluxe Marti Reportshowing the original factory specifications:U15 - U-100 Bronco 4x4WagonT - 200-1V EngineL - Built at Michigan Truck092 - Wheelbase(inches)T - Candyapple Red Paint (Ford #2008-A)U150 - U-100 Bronco4x4 Wagon 4300 lb GVW3 - Parchment Rosette Bucket SeatsC - 3 SpeedManual TransmissionA3 - 4.11 Limited Slip Rear Axle04300 - GrossVehicle Weight in Pounds54 - Omaha DSOThis is one rare Bronco, oneof the following:2,098 with this paint code463 with thesepaint/trim codes761 with these engine/transmission codes288 orderedwith this DSOThe original Bronco was an off-road vehicle intendedto compete primarily with Jeep CJ models and the InternationalHarvester Scout. The 1966 Bronco was Ford's first compact SUV andhad a frame, suspension and body that were not shared with anyother vehicle. The axles and brakes were from the Ford F-100 fourwheel drive pickup truck, the rear suspension was leaf springs anda shift-on the-fly Dana transfer case and locking hubs werestandard with heavy-duty suspension as an option. Styling wasdesigned for simplicity and economy, so all glass was flat, bumperswere straight C-sections, the frame was a simple box-sectionladder, and the basic left and right door skins were identicalexcept for mounting holes. Early Broncos were offered in wagon,pickup and a less popular roadster configuration. The Sport Packageboasted a lot of chrome (called 'Bright' by Ford).The base price ofa Ford Bronco was US$2,194, with a long option list that includedfront bucket seats, a rear bench seat, a tachometer, and a CBradio, as well as functional items such as a tow bar, an auxiliarygas tank, a power take-off, a snowplow, a winch, and a postholedigger. Aftermarket accessories included campers, overdrive units,and the usual array of wheels, tires, chassis, and engine parts forincreased performance.The only engine available in the first Broncowas the 102-hp 170-cu-in six cylinder, a dramatic upgrade over theJeeps four-cylinder engine. (For the 1966 model year the CJ got anoptional Dauntless 225 V-6.) In the Bronco brochure from 1966, the200-hp 289-cu-in V-8 was promised for mid-March of 1967. Thetransmission was better, too. The Broncos three-speed manual wasthe first fully synchronized transmission in any 4X4 vehicleavailable in the United States. The Bronco also used a Dana 20transfer case with a single T-bar shift lever with a positive lockknob, similar to the shifter on a Mustang, versus the Jeeps Dana 18with twin sticks.Mechanicals aside, the Bronco was well appointedinside compared to the CJ or the Scout. The package included ruggedfeatures like a fold-down windshield and vacuum operated wipers,but the Bronco also had doors with roll-up windows and a frame forthe glass. The Bronco sported standard items like turn signals (anadd-on for Jeeps), a padded dash, seat belts, and windshieldwashers. The Bronco Sports Utility pickup had a full square dooropening with a half-cab roof, with a bench seat inside. The cargoarea on the Sports Utility was separated by a metal bulkhead,providing a small bed separate from the passenger compartment. TheBronco Wagon had the same full doors, but with a roof that enclosedboth cargo and passenger areas, a standard bench seat, optionalbucket seats and an optional rear bench seat.There were two notablechanges for 1969, and the first was in the engine bay. Gone was the289 V-8, and in its place came the 302 V-8, with a modest jump inhorsepower (to 205 hp) but a significant jump in torque from 282 to300 lb-ft. Broncos equipped with the 302 got a 302 V-8 emblem onthe front fenders. The second major revision was the elimination ofthe Roadster body style. It was a slow seller from the get-go, anddespite its cheap base price, many more Bronco customers opted forthe full cab. A reinforced body structure helped to seal out bothwater and dust from the passenger cabin. The windshield wipersswitched from vacuum operation to a two-speed electric motor aftermid-1968 production. Unfortunately, the wiper motors location meantthat the latches for the fold-down windscreen were noweliminated.In '71 things got a bit beefier and the 1971 and abovemodels are now usually considered the most desirable byenthusiasts. From 66 to 70, Ford used the a Dana 30 up front and aFord 9-inch in the rear. Beginning in 71, you got a Dana 44 upfront along with the 9-incher out back.This is one very wellmaintained and beautifully presented mostly all original uncut 1973Ford Bronco 4WD Sport Wagon with a the 200 CID 6 cylinder enginewith the 3 speed manual transmission which shifts smoothly throughthe gears and the temperature always remains cool! You will looklong and hard to find a finer looking or nicer driving example ofthis legendary 1973 Ford Bronco Sport Wagon!
