The ad states the Bronco doesn’t have any doors, although an uninstalled soft top is included with the sale for extra coverage.

Inside are black vinyl bucket seats, an aftermarket three-spoke steering wheel, and a modern Pioneer audio head unit connected to Kicker speakers.

Under the hood is a 302cid V8 performance upgraded with an Edelbrock Performer intake, four-barrel carburetor and performance headers with a dual exhaust system. Power is sent to all four wheels via a replacement Hughes automatic transmission.
