Description
This custom 1972 Ford Bronco is the product of a meticulous frame-off restoration utilizing a 100% rust-free donor body and more than 400 hours of precision bodywork, finished in a premium two-stage basecoat/clearcoat. It is powered by a new 460hp 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine paired with a new 4R70W automatic transmission with overdrive. The drivetrain features a rebuilt single-stick Dana 20 transfer case and fully rebuilt stock axles with new bearings and seals, along with Warn locking hubs. Supporting the Coyote is an upgraded cooling system with a large-capacity aluminum radiator, a 23-gallon rear fuel tank with an internal EFI pump and a custom MagnaFlow exhaust system. The Bronco rides on a 2.5-inch suspension lift utilizing Bilstein shocks and springs, along with a hidden 2-inch body lift providing the necessary engine clearance. The steering system was upgraded with a new power-steering pump and steering box, with the steering geometry corrected as part of the build. Stopping is handled by a four-wheel disc brake conversion with a Wilwood hydro-boost system and all-new brake lines. It rides on 15x10-inch American Racing wheels wrapped in 33x12.50-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires. The undercarriage and inner tub are fully protected with Satin Black Raptor Liner. The custom interior is upholstered in rawhide leather and features high-back front bucket seats, a fold-and-tumble rear seat, matching rawhide leather door and quarter-panels, and a matching dash pad. Additional interior appointments include a color-matched dashboard, wood-grain steering wheel and tilt steering column. A new Vintage Air system provides air conditioning and heat, while a center-console-mounted Bluetooth stereo is connected to a five-speaker amplified audio system. Occupant protection includes a full family roll cage and three-point retractable seat belts. The electrical system was completely renewed with a 100% new wiring harness and fuse panel. The restoration also included new glass and seals, along with upgraded HID/LED headlights.
