…This 1976 Ford Bronco Sport was delivered new to Champion Motor Company in Canton, North Carolina and is one of 162 examples that were finished in Cayan Red over Parchment vinyl upholstery for the model year. Power is supplied by a 302ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case, and equipment includes black side stripes, a removable white hardtop, a roll bar, power steering, fender flares, and a Grant steering wheel.
Finished from the factory in Cayan Red (2), the truck was repainted during the refurbishment and fitted with replacement front floors, kick panels, and door posts. The rear fenders were cut at that time, color-matched fender flares were added, and a replacement windshield, weatherstripping, body bushings, and black stripe graphics were added. The antenna has been removed, while additional details include chrome bumpers and window trim, a removable white hardtop, dual exhaust outlets, and a swing-away spare tire carrier.
White-painted 15” steel wheels wear Ford-branded covers and are mounted with 30×10.5” BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 tires. The truck is equipped with manually-locking front hubs, BDS suspension NX2 Nitro Series shocks and steering stabilizer, and power steering. The front disc and rear drum brakes are said to have been overhauled during the refurbishment.
The interior was refreshed with Dynamat and Dynaliner sound deadening, Parchment vinyl upholstery, replacement door panels, and a brown carpet kit. The seat belts, lift gate shocks, and headliner were also replaced while the heater box and blower motor were reportedly refurbished. Additional equipment includes Bronco-branded floor mats, a black roll bar, and an iGloo cooler that sits between the front seats.
A three-spoke Grant steering wheel fronts a white-painted dashboard that houses a refurbished 100-mph speedometer with inset auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 94k miles.
The 302ci V8 was repainted and resealed per the seller, who states that the fuel system was also refreshed with replacement tanks, sending units, vent lines, and filler hoses. Replacement hood struts have been installed and an oil change was performed last year.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case, both of which reportedly refreshed during current ownership.
The Deluxe Marti report shows initial delivery to Champion Motor Company in Canton, North Carolina and lists factory equipment, colors, and production statistics. The truck was also featured on the cover of a 2019 issue of LMC Truck magazine.
