BaT Auction: 1976 Ford Bronco Ranger

This 1976 Ford Bronco Ranger was delivered new to Eidson Ford in Mountain View, Missouri, and was acquired by the seller in 2021. The truck is finished in Ginger Glow over tan vinyl and patterned cloth and is powered by a 302ci V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Additional equipment includes a removable white hardtop, an auxiliary fuel tank, an AM/FM cassette player, power steering and brakes, and 15″ steel wheels with polished covers. Refurbishment work completed under previous ownership included installing a replacement engine, refinishing the truck in its factory color scheme, and reupholstering the interior. This Bronco is now offered with an owner’s manual, a Deluxe Marti Report, partial service records, and a clean Missouri title in the seller’s name.

The body is said to have been refinished in 2012 in its factory scheme of Ginger Glow with white graphics and orange pin-striping. Equipment includes a removable hardtop, a rear-mounted tire carrier with a black vinyl cover, and chrome bumpers. The seller states that the inner and outer front fenders were replaced during the exterior refinish, and paint chips are visible on the left rocker panel.

White-painted 15″ steel wheels wear polished covers and are mounted with 235/75 BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain T/A tires showing 2010 date codes. The front axle is equipped with manually-locking hubs, and the truck features power-assisted steering and brakes.

The cabin is said to have been refurbished in 2012 including installation of reupholstered seating in tan vinyl with patterned cloth inserts as well as replacement carpets. Additional equipment includes an AM/FM cassette player connected to aftermarket speakers, a heater, and front lap belts.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a body-color dash housing a 100-mph speedometer with inset auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 34k miles, and total mileage is unknown.

The replacement 302ci V8 was installed in 1994. The seller notes that an oil change was completed in April 2021.

Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Additional images of the underside are available in the gallery below.

The Deluxe Marti Report shows initial delivery to Eidson Ford in Mountain View, Missouri, and lists factory equipment as well as production statistics.
