Don't ask how I got $4500 into a 1983 Bronco. Just come get it for $1050. It was supposed to be my first 4x4. Short version, 2 weeks after I bought it at auction the engine siezed. Been working on it off and on over the past 8 years. Stuffed an Autozone rebuild into it 3 years ago. Finished the install over Xmas.

Right now have no spark and with my Jeep and Avalanche, don't have much motivation to keep going on this one. Tired interior, pretty decent body.

Needs a couple of relays to make it emmissions ready, or if you don't have to worry about such things, put in a Duraspark II ignition from an '81 and a Holley 2BBL and get it running in an afternoon.

Can crank it for ya. Also has Edlebrock Performer intake, new water pump, evap core, various relays, Motorcraft carb rebuilt by Holley, O2 sensor, battery, and just a ton of stuff that easiest to replace while the motor was out. I have all 5 factory manuals plus Claytons, Hayes and Chilton's for it.

0 miles on the engine and new parts.

I keep coming down on price. At this point, I'll soon be parting it. Take it for $1050. Pics on Craigslist. It's in Gilbert.

Oh...it's PS/PB/AT with manual transfer case and 351W. Warn locking hubs up front.

Okay...last reduction: $975, or simply what I paid for the motor...

In two weekends I'm going to pull the motor and sell them separate...

You can make $$ on this yourself if you have a use for the motor and sell off the carb (I paid $300 for it), vehicle (without motors they've been selling for around $500 in the valley), recored radiator, etc.

Why am I not doing it? Simply trying to enjoy some of my weekends doing something other than making up for past mistakes...

Come and get it! Roger 602-320-4203
