Bronco Barn Finds: 1973 Baja Bronco

 This perhaps the best preserved and unmolested Baja Broncos ever. 

It was posted on the Classic Broncos web forum

The description from the seller:

1973 Baja Bronco by Stroppe. Standard phase 1 Baja Bronco with dual shocks, US Indy aluminum wheels (the originals), rubberized steering wheel, trailer hitch, padded roll bar, bumper braces, baja decals and tire cover, chrome "Cactus Smasher" push bar without the light tabs. Ford power steering (as opposed to the GM steering box?) and automatic trans.

134K miles, in storage for the last 5 years before being rescued. Has original paperwork from dealer, warranty info/owner's manual in the glove box and the original 1973 California plates with original dealer frames.

Take a close look at the custom rocker guards below, one might dismiss them as an owner modification, but they have been seen on at least one other Baja Bronco

While not part of the engine, they usually are attached, is the transmission. The Revell kit comes with a 3-speed manual transmission, which was the most common transmission in classic Broncos, but if you want to build a tribute and need a C-4 automatic, VCG Resins has got what you need

You could decide to go modern and install this Coyote V-8 in your Bronco, I found this on ebay
