1972 Ford Bronco

West Coast Classics are proud to present this 1972 Ford Bronco Wagon (Chassis U15GLM45815) which perfectly balances iconic first-generation styling with modern, driver-focused performance upgrades. Benefiting from extensive refurbishment and thoughtful modifications, this classic 4x4 stands ready for local cruising or open-air trail riding.Exterior Styling & Structural Upgrades: The body is presented in a deep dark red finish, which was repainted during recent ownership following the professional installation of replacement wheel-arch flares. Structurally sound, the vehicle features freshly replaced floor pans that have been entirely sealed in durable bedliner material for maximum longevity. The vintage aesthetic is accented by bright chrome bumpers, a black cabin roll hoop, and a removable white soft top. It rides on a commanding set of 15 polished slotted alloy wheels wrapped in 33 12.5 BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires, complete with a full-size matching spare mounted to the heavy-duty rear swing-out carrier.Under the hood sits a potent, rebuilt 302ci V8 built for performance. The engine features upgraded aluminum cylinder heads, a high-performance camshaft, and an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. Exhaust gases flow through premium long-tube headers into a deep-tone dual exhaust system. Power is funneled through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission, an upgraded high-performance driveshaft, and a dual-range transfer case for versatile four-wheel-drive capability. Recent mechanical upkeep includes a fresh oil service and new spark plugs and ignition wires to ensure reliable turn-key operation.Mechanical enhancements include: Suspension Lift: Upgraded ride height paired with Rancho shocks and a dedicated steering stabilizer.Power Brakes: Modernized braking performance via front disc brakes and a power-assisted brake booster.Refreshed Custom Cabin: The interior has been completely retrimmed in crisp white upholstery spanning the front bucket seats, rear bench, and interior door panels. The cabin floor is protected by fresh black carpeting, and the dash features a newly replaced pad. Drivers are treated to a wood-rimmed steering wheel fronting a factory 100-mph combination gauge cluster that accurately monitors speed, fuel levels, charging status, coolant temperature, and oil pressure.Interior creature comforts include: Kenwood Audio: Modern head unit feeding a clear four-speaker sound system.Cabin Controls: Functional vent windows and a floor-mounted Hurst shifter.Secure Storage: Both a locking glovebox and a rugged, locking center console.Note: The odometer currently displays 23,000 miles, though total chassis mileage is unknown (TMU).
