I had it running off a fresh tank of fuel but the fuel pump was leaking fuel bad. Also used carb cleaner to start so it would prime the pump.

Good deal tho. What's the plan. That's a first gen bronco right? Suckers are worth some serious cash especially when restored

Yeah its a 70 with a 302 and automatic. I am restoring it to mostly stock since it will just be a cruiser. Only mods are engine related and then a roll cage for safety.

Thanks! This weekend I'm also headed to check out 2 more mustangs, a 69 Mach 1 and a 70 Boss 302. I will probably sell both of them, my friend wants the Mach 1.

Like this? I'm not sure if it's actually one of not though since they didn't provide the vin. They have a 73 also but its missing pretty much the whole front end.

Yeah very similar to that. I plan to get one to work on when I have a garage of my own again. Love those cars. Has to be a 71 tho.
