Santa's 2016 sleigh
1966 289 Bronco
This stunning nostalgic Ford Bronco has just had a great looking makeover.
FRESH CLEARCOAT DUPONT RED URETHANE PAINT, DECEMBER 2016
As you can see, the clearcoat on this truck has a nice high gloss and good definition of image.
Painted in the correct code 71243 Rangoon Red, “J” code. Trim and bumpers were stripped from the truck and the rust free body tub was sanded down smooth, then liberally sprayed with primer. The body was then sanded by hand with a block. Then a sealer was sprayed over the complete exterior and it was refinished in red with several clearcoats, in a temperature controlled spray booth.
Top and tailgate were removed and painted separately. There was no rust in rocker panels or hinge post pillars and only the front floor pans were replaced and welded in. No rot on fenders, bed, hood, grill, or quarter panels either! The only rust repairs I saw done at the body and paint shop were bottom of tailgate and a the windshield frame, that's it. As you know, it is pretty unusual for these not to be super rusty before paint. (Solid truck from New Mexico)Grill was refinished in silver
Top was refinished on the outside in factory style Wimbledon White paint, after being completely sanded down and sprayed with a sealer.
New fiberglass rear fender flares were painted separately, as were license plate frame, glove box door, ashtray, and hood to folding windshield hook.
The door edges and interior door shells were repainted to match.
Dash repainted to match.
The interior floors were coated with a black spray on bedliner material
FULL HARDTOP WITH NEW PAINT
Top has bright trim moldings. Rear liftgate operates and latches. Gun rack already installed for your 30-30! Interior of top not painted.
FRESH SILVER INTERIOR UPHOLSTERY
Interior upholstery is all new. Factory Ford Bronco front bucket seats were repadded and had all leatherette material replaced in this fabulous looking silver color. A bit of trivia in case you're not aware, silver was actually the correct color for bronco seats in 1966!
Rare rear factory seat included and reupholstered with matching armrests. The rear seat was rebuilt with new wood.
Brand new door panels, also done in the same silver with horizontal stitch pattern.
New armrest (Tom's Bronco)

RARE 289 BRONCO V8!
GREAT RUNNING 289 Engine! Most 1966 Broncos came equipped with the inline 6 engine from the factory, but not this one! This one came originally with a V8. Dual exhaust has a fat sound that you can't miss! Runs and drives great. Stock intake manifold with 1&5/8” Exhaust headers. Has never overheated on me and it has always fired right up when I've turned the key.
