I Barely bought this on Nov. 4,2008. My New 1978 Bronco Custom Free-Wheeler, Black with Free-Wheeler Graphics in purple and silver. 4 Speed tranny NP435. 400M, with Holley TBI fuel injection kit, only 100k original miles with the engine rebuilt at 80k. restoration done about 10 years ago. The guy i bought it from 2nd owner bought it with 18k about 25 years ago, and slowly restored it, the owner said it still has the original clutch in it. The interior had the seats redone and new headliner and carpeting along with new door panels.  Has Factory Roll Bar, Dealer A/C that actually works great along with everything else. Taylor 8.2MM wires and motorcraft platinum plugs with accel cap and rotor painted to match the motor, it had the original plug wires when i did the tune up can you believe it OE wires from 1978.  ZERO RUST I MEAN ZERO. Has single exit exhaust but true dual will come in the future along with headers. Barely installed a Superlift leveling kit on Christmas day of 2008 with 32 BFG A/Ts. Barely bought new American Racing Baja 15x10 polished aluminum wheels pics are posted next to the engine pics. Will post new pics of the kit when i get it washed. Will also be taking pics of the TBI setup so stay posted! ALL OF MY LATEST PICS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

Pics of when i first bought it.
