The Ford Bronco was born to be a success for two reasons. It was catering to a steadily growing market that needed a sturdy off-roader with a bit of power and everyday usability and on the other hand it was the brainchild of Donald N Frey, the guy responsible for the iconic Mustang. With its 56-year production run, the Bronco has gone on to be America's off-road sweetheart and a major collector item with the first generations arguably being the most desired generation. Why not grab your own slice of American automotive history and spruce up your driveway with this 1966 Ford Bronco 302 we have today. Located in Colorado, this legendary vehicle is special in its own right and also sports a few surprises to make it stand out further.

Exterior and Interior

The Bronco’s boxy figure and iconic design blend in with any exterior color. This 1966 Ford Bronco 302 sports a lovely mix of light blue and white which not only makes it look good but really plays to its design features quite well. The truck has reportedly been repainted by the previous owner. Whilst most of the surprises in this vehicle lay under the hood you also would be happy to know that the body of this Bronco is uncut. It rides high off the ground thanks to a set of 33-inch tires and 15-inch American Racing wheels adding onto its vintage persona. There is also a full-size spare wheel at the rear. The interior sports the same color scheme as the exterior and is mostly original with a few modifications done to make drives enjoyable. It was reportedly redone by the previous owner and features the original seats with a family roll cage and back seat. You get 4 shoulder belts for added safety. The modifications come in the form of a vintage-look Bluetooth stereo system which does not take away from this vehicle's period-correct looks but provides a way to listen to some good tunes the right way. The Vintage A/C system also blends in well with the interior of the vehicle and provides a pleasant driving experience on a hot day summer day drive. The Ford Bronco branded floor mats complete the look and complement the original seats of the vehicle as well.

Engine

Finding that mix of reliability and power that could scare a passenger is a tough thing. The Bronco was built on being reliable and have that go anywhere attitude, but this 1966 Ford Bronco takes a slight twist. Gone is it’s the original six-cylinder engine as stated by the owner and in its place is a 302ci crate engine from Blueprint engines, with a Holley Sniper fuel injection system and exhaling through a recently-installed dual exhaust system that allows you to hear the engine howl. A Jeep NV4500 5-speed manual transmission and transfer case send the power where you desire, and locking hubs are on hand too. The seller reports that the engine has enough power to “easily light up the tires”. Power disc brakes ensure that stopping power is adequately upgraded, and power steering means your arms won’t ache after a day in the rough. A 2-inch lift caps it all off.
