1976 Ford Bronco Restoration

Location: Austin, Texas

Why It’s Curated: This 1976 Ford Bronco is for sale in Austin, Texas. This classic vehicle has undergone a complete, ground-up restoration by JFB Off Road with every nut and bolt replaced, ensuring it is as pristine and more reliable than the day it rolled off the assembly line.

This Bronco features an uncut steel body tub and sheet metal, maintaining its original body lines. The exterior is chalk gray painted (one of our all time favorite colors), and the undercarriage is lined with color matched Line-X liner for maximum durability and protection. The frame is also finished in chalk gray Line-X, giving it a sleek and clean appearance.

Under the hood, this Bronco is powered by a new Blueprint 302 crate motor paired with a rebuilt C4 automatic transmission and a rebuilt Dana 20 transfer case. The build includes an extended drive shaft, new oil pump, water pump, fuel pump, starter, and an aluminum radiator. The headers and dual Flowmaster exhaust provide an excellent sound.

The suspension and brakes have been upgraded with new dropped radius arm brackets, Bilstein shocks on both the front and rear, and a 2.5” suspension lift. The front and rear axles have been rebuilt with new bearings and seals, and it has a Ford 9-inch rear end. This Bronco is equipped with Willwood power disc brakes on both the front and rear, a Willwood master cylinder, and new steel brake lines, giving this Bronco a smooth and safe ride on any terrain. The steering and handling have been upgraded with new poly bushings and mounts throughout, power steering, upgraded steering linkage with a stabilizer, and new Warn locking hubs to get you out of any situation.

The interior has been freshly restored with new weatherstripping, emblems, mirrors, door handles, and marker lights. The floors are lined with paint matched chalk gray Line-X for added protection and durability. This Bronco also comes equipped with a new soft top along with tinted windows, a new dash pad, aftermarket front bucket seats, and a new rear bench seat. Safety is ensured with a 6-point roll bar featuring shoulder belts for all passengers, while modern features like the locking center console with a hidden Kenwood bluetooth stereo and a custom-mounted speaker box housing four speakers provide tunes while on the road or hitting the trails.

Modern upgrades include a new wiring harness with a modern fuse box, new A/c system, new exterior lighting throughout, and a refurbished factory gauge cluster with a new speedometer cable. The high-quality audio system features a sub box in the bed area behind the bench seat along with a JL Audio 500-watt amplifier.
