This 1973 Ford Bronco was the subject of a multi-year custom build that was completed in 2024, and additional work following the seller’s acquisition on BaT in June 2025 involved installing a 427ci stroker V8 and a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. The fuel and cooling systems were also refreshed, a proportioning valve was added to the four-wheel disc brake setup, and the differential, transfer case, and driveshafts were serviced. The revised bodywork was previously finished in grey, and other build details include a custom roll cage, Premier Racing Products seats, and a Holley Terminator X engine management system. The truck rides on a lifted suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers as well as 17″ Dirty Life wheels wrapped in 37″ Nitto tires, and it is further equipped with tubular bumpers, steel rock panel guards, a Warn winch, manually locking front hubs, Baja Designs auxiliary lighting, LED headlights, and Classic Auto Air climate control. This modified Bronco is now offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name,
The Audi-specification shade of Nardo Grey is said to have been used during the refurbishment work, at which time a revised hood, fenders, quarter panels, and doors were fitted. Additional work involved replacing the grille, windshield frame, hardtop, and doors. The truck is equipped with tubular bumpers, yellow-tinted Baja Design auxiliary lights, a Warn VR Evo winch, LED headlights, and custom rocker panel guards that were tied into the frame.
Beadlock-capable 17″ Dirty Life wheels are mounted with 37×12.5″ Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tires, and a matching spare is stationed on the rear carrier.

An NRG Innovations steering wheel with a yellow centering stripe is affixed to a quick-release hub. A Holley electronic fuel injection module is mounted to the center of the custom-fabricated dashboard, and it displays a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer shows 538 miles. Total chassis mileage is unknown.
