When Ford turned to Donald N. Frey and Lee Iacocca to build something that would compete with the trending Jeep CJ-5, International Harvester Scout, and Toyota’s Land Cruiser, they decided that they would use the same formula that made the Mustang so popular, and that was to give the people what they wanted. Even though off-roaders were becoming popular, they were not very comfortable driving on tarmac. Ford set out to change that with the Bronco, adding comfort options that were usually found on the contemporary family cars of the time, and adding it to the body of a capable SUV, giving owners the best of both worlds. This late first-generation example of a 1974 Ford Bronco 302ci was restored 8 years ago. Since then, it seems to have been kept in showroom condition and is up for sale with a mere 12,000 miles of labor
In comparison to SUVs of today, the first generation Bronco is surprisingly smaller and came in convertible or, ‘Bikini Top’ options like this 1974 Ford Bronco 302ci, although this one includes the hardtop as well in the sale. This Bronco is reported to have sustained its original all-metal body and was repainted red with a white painted and riveted wide body to match the hardtop, giving it an almost two-tone appearance. Also installed is a set of disc brakes up front and drums at the back, hidden behind a set of 33inch Kumho off-road tires and 15-inch wheels. The interior of this Bronco is predominantly red and white just like its exterior, with a set of cloth aftermarket seats installed during the restoration. Some other new additions include an aftermarket Pioneer radio with AM/FM and CD compatibility, power steering, functioning windshield wipers, as well as an interior roll bar.
Powering this 1974 Ford Bronco 302ci as you may guess is a 302ci (5.0L) V8 engine with stainless headers, an Edelbrock carb and intake, Ford Racing valve covers as well as roller rockers that were installed post-restoration. The owner admits that he is unsure about the numbers matching, but the VIN suggests that this is indeed a legitimate 302ci engine, and it's coupled with an automatic transmission.
