1977 Ford Bronco is Factory Original & Stunning
It will be a few years before this sparkly original 1977 Bronco needs any sort of restoration help.
Goodbye Blue Monday
As classic truck fans know; the restoration game is all about adding contemporary style and performance flair to road-worn legends as a way to celebrate their previous glory while making them drivable on modern roads. But what happens when you stumble upon an original truck that’s in such great shape?

Original Rhapsody
The Bronco’s combination of sportiness and style has drawn considerable interest from collectors and automotive restorers in the past few years. An interest so profound that Ford has slated an all-new Bronco to be released sometime in 2020. We, along with many other Blue Oval fans are hopeful that the new take on the Bronco will capture the classic essence of the originals. This ’77 features the original classic paint job complete with recognizable side striping as well as the factory original steel wheels and hubcaps.

Back to the Future
If there are any signs of wear and tear on this original vehicle, you’ll have to look hard to find them. The original interior comes complete with the factory floor mats emblazoned with the classic “Bronco” script text. Faux-wood paneling highlights the doors while the original, awesomely-utilitarian steering wheel, analog gauges, and shifter bring driver and passenger back to groovier times.

Code Blue Ford 302
This 1977 Bronco is still expertly powered by its original 302 engine, which is paired with a 3-speed C4 transmission. It’s in shockingly good shape given its age and has just 75,000 original miles. While many restorers make efforts to spruce up original Bronco’s power and engine sound, this one packs the same powerful hum as it did the day it was driven off the lot. In fact, this truck features a polyurethane fuel tank which offered 1.3 gallons more fuel than the Bronco's 1976 predecessor. The 1977 design also included enlarged gussets for added overall vehicle strength.

True Benchmark
The rear interior features a classically upholstered folding rear bench seat and all-original hardtop glass windows. While many restored Bronco’s offer a wider seating space, the original bench seat sacrifices seating space for an impressive amount of legroom that doubles as a defacto cargo hold. Judging by the pristine blue leather siding, any ride in this backseat is a trip back in time.

Future See Millennium
The vehicle’s hardtop is described as “Wimbledon White,” which is an ode to the tennis balls used at the famous court in the United Kingdom of the same name. In fact, balls at Wimbledon were white up until 1986, when growing frustration by television audiences required the color of the balls to be changed to the fluorescent yellow color we know today. Unlike the loudly colored restomod imitators, this 1977 Ford Bronco has all its classic hues intact inside and out.
