For 1967, Ford introduced the Sport option package for the Bronco; consisting primarily of chrome exterior trim and wheel covers, the Sport package was distinguished by red-painted "FORD" grille lettering. For 1970, the Bronco Sport became a freestanding model rather than an option package. Initially selling well, there was a decline in demand for the Bronco following the introduction of the Chevrolet Blazer, Jeep Cherokee, and International Scout II (from 1969 to 1974), as demand shifted towards SUVs with better on-road capability.
A very rare sight on UK roads, this 1970 Ford Bronco Sport benefits from a recent restoration in the United States before finding its way to the UK in 2022. This striking example is fitted with the 302ci (4. 9 litre) V8, 3-speed manual transmission, two speed transfer case, also chromed wheels with all terrain tyres. The Bronco was optioned with a Swing Away spare wheel carrier, body side and rocker panel mouldings, AM radio, free-running front hubs, extra cooling package and auxiliary fuel tank.
Finished in Chrome Yellow with a white hard top, white vinyl Interior with rear bench, this nicely restored, and importantly uncut and unmodified Bronco, is ready to be shown or just enjoyed on or off-road. The Bronco is offered with taxes paid and UK V5C.
This classic vehicle will be coming to auction with Dore & Rees Auctions on Saturday 21st September at the Castle Combe Autumn Classic. For further information please contact the Motoring department.
