Fuel-Injected 351-Powered 1970 Ford Bronco 5-Speed

Description

Ford’s first-generation Bronco was a compact four-wheel-drive utility vehicle introduced in 1966 to compete with the Jeep CJ and International Harvester Scout while offering a unique blend of off-road capability and everyday practicality.

By 1970, the Bronco had established itself as one of the pioneers of the modern sport utility vehicle, earning a reputation for ruggedness thanks to its short wheelbase, coil-spring front suspension, and versatile body styles that included wagon, pickup, and roadster configurations. The Bronco’s innovative front coil-spring suspension provided a smoother ride and better articulation than many competitors, making it one of the most advanced off-road vehicles available at the time.

This 1970 Ford Bronco was the first vehicle to be overhauled and customized by Remuda Motoring in Austin, Texas. Its body has been refinished in Wimbledon White with a Saddle Tan custom interior featuring modern switchgear and instrumentation designed to emulate the original.

The truck is powered by a 351ci Windsor V8 mated to an NV3550 5-speed manual transmission. Other mechanical features include Bilstein 5100 shock absorbers, a Ford 9" rear end, power steering, and air conditioning. Inside, this Bronco is equipped with reclining front bucket seats and a locking center console, folding rear seats, Dakota Digital instrumentation, and a four-point roll cage.

This 1970 Ford Bronco is now offered on dealer consignment in North Carolina with a clean Florida title in the current owner's name.
