Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston showroom is excited to present this slick silver 1977 Ford Bronco. Ford introduced the Bronco in 1966 to compete with the growing category of small 4WD vehicles like Jeep's CJ-5 and International Harvester's Scout. When the Bronco was first produced, it was a completely new vehicle for Ford. The frame and other key suspension components were not shared with any other vehicle in the Ford lineup. The Ford Bronco is arguably one of the most iconic small SUV body styles ever produced, and a later generation would make it famous, thanks to a rather well-known police chase. This Bronco was featured in, and on the cover of, Bronco Driver Magazine's issue #43 (Jan/Feb 2010). The restoration commenced in late 2008 in Albuquerque, NM, and was completed in under a year. RT Rods of Albuquerque, NM performed the body and mechanical work, "Drop of Color" (in Albuquerque) handled the paint work, and the interior was completed by Bear Nut Upholstery (also in Albuquerque). There are quite a few custom features in this nifty Bronco; many of which Bronco aficionados will spot, but quite a few that most folks will miss. Under the hood, a potent 302 CID Ford V8 provides plenty of muscle to get this baby going wherever you want to go, and the built 3-speed C4 automatic transmission has a wide enough gearing ratio for both off- and on-road adventures. A Holley 4BBL carb tops the V8, and coated headers scavenge the exhaust into the dual exhaust, which has a nice muscular sound. When it comes time to slow this iconic off-roader down, the driver will be glad that this Bronco is equipped with disc brakes up front and drums out back. The body of this Bronco is finished in a flashy silver, which contrasts nicely against the bright red stingray-patterned synthetic leather and cloth interior. 18-inch Teflon-coated American Racing ATX series aluminum offroad wheels are wrapped with some serious BFG RT4 All-Terrain off-road radial tires, size LT305/65R18. Inside, the dash has been customized, and houses a complete set of AutoMeter gauges to keep the driver informed. The ashtray has been eliminated, and the dash switches relocated to the custom console, which also houses the Alpine AM/FM/CD head unit, transfer case shifter, and cupholders. A custom heat duct runs beneath the console and provides heat for the rear passengers. The build also makes unique, and quite effective, use of the gas can behind the rear seat, having turned it into a custom subwoofer enclosure. Additional features and options on this custom 1977 Ford Bronco include Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, Spare Tire, and Tilt Steering wheel.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
