BRONCO HAS SOLD
This 1968 Bronco Sport is being sold as family interests have changed and a desire to park other cars in the garage. Bronco's have occupied half or the entire garage for the past 20+ years.

Due to the age of the tires on the Bronco I will giving a $1000.00 allowance for the purchase of five new tires (new owner to determine Brand, type and size of tires) at the current asking price of $15000.00 or a reduction in price to $14000.00 as is with current tires.
***RARE ITEMS ***
***In Sept 1971 this '68 went to Stroppe and Associates shop in Long Beach Ca, to have a automatic transmission conversion done. It recieved the same auto trans parts as Stroppe Baja Bronco's ordered with conversion (71-75). (C4, Intermediate housing with stroppe in casting, tranny cooler+lines and Auto column-with shifting & kickdown rods).
**Have shop Reciept with Bill Stroppe's signature**
Please see photo below showing Stroppe items on vehicle.
*** In most of the photos the Bronco has 15X10 Slotted US Wheel Co. Aluminuim Wheels. (purchased at James Duffy first shop in 1974 along with the smittybilt Roll bar/Cage and right side 14 gal fuel tank) the Bronco is being sold with both sets of wheels (Slotted & stock steel)
***Has been family owned since it was purchased new from National City Ford in National City ,Ca.(grandfather 1968 to Jun 1973, my father Jun 1973 to Jun 1990, and I have had it since.)
***The '68 is California Bronco and has been garaged 99.95% of it life. It is as rust free as a 42 year old Bronco can be. All of its sheetmetal is original, no replacements. Notice original Black Ca license plates in photos.
The top has been removed only one time in it life and that was for the installation of roll bar/cage.
Current mileage is 180131.1.
At the time I took over the Bronco it had been in garage storage for ten years (1980-1990). It was determined that several items needed to be rebuilt and or replaced to enable the Bronco to be driven daily. The 289 was rebuilt, Dana 30 bushings replaced and complete brake job (all new parts front and rear). It was then driven as a daily driver for the next nine years.
In 2000 and 01 this '68 had several upgrades (Duff power brakes, powered steering, Dana 44 with Disc brakes and other items). Upgrades and parts replacement was due to a '71 Bronco that my dad had purchased. We had a an aggrement where I would do all the work and he would purchase identical parts for both Broncos to keep me in good with the wife as she was still driving the 68 daily. After 2001 another vehicle replaced the '68 as a daily driver. Since that time this Bronco has only accumulated 3371 miles. As far as problems with the Bronco there are none!
