More Information:

This Bronco rides on the highway @ 75MPH with two fingers. It includes, all new wiring, etc.

There are quite a few custom touches you do not see in regular restorations. We have under dash and roll bar lights connected to the door switches so they turn on when you open the doors, we added door checks front and rear – so the doors will stay open at three different locations like a modern car and not flop around.

One of the highlights is the recreation of the rear barn door tailgate that was originally fabricated in South America. We used a new tailgate and installed hidden locks and releases. One of a kind and truly much more functional than a normal tailgate – they were a huge hit at Super Celebration in Townsend, TN this year and made an appearance on one of Bronco Garage's video which can be seen here.

We also put the rear sliding windows in – so you can run with the front windows down and open those and not be in a wind tunnel. I would probably not have another hard top without them. All windows except for the windshield are smoke tinted glass.

All of the import, export and documentation from Colombia is included, as well as photos of it over the years over there and transport photos of it coming back to the United States.
