If you’re a fan of honest survivors, this 1972 Ford Bronco Sport might be the one that gets your attention. Advertised as a barn find and purchased from its original owner in New Mexico, this uncut, unmolested two-owner truck checks a lot of boxes. With 81,000 miles on the clock and what the seller describes as “original patina,” it retains a factory vibe that’s getting harder and harder to find. It’s listed here on Facebook Marketplace and located in the Southwest, where dry air and open skies have clearly done it a few favors.

Finished in red with a white interior, the Bronco is said to have zero rust—an increasingly rare claim for any early Bronco, especially one wearing its original sheet metal. The body remains uncut, preserving the classic fender lines and factory trim. The paint is worn but original, and the aged patina tells the story of five decades on the road—or perhaps parked under the desert sun. The seller proudly notes the originality carries through to the drivetrain and interior, including the sliding bench seat, factory radio, manual transfer case, and even the rare factory air conditioning system.

Power comes from the original V8 engine paired with a “three-on-the-tree” column-shifted manual transmission. The seller has reportedly gone through the mechanicals to ensure it’s a reliable and daily-drivable rig. Though details on the service history aren’t fully spelled out, phrases like “mechanically sound” and “solid daily driver” suggest the basics have been covered, at least enough for weekend driving or cruise nights.

Inside, the Bronco looks largely untouched. The white upholstery has survived surprisingly well, and while no photos are mentioned, the seller claims the interior remains original throughout. It’s rare to see these early Broncos without modifications, and rarer still to see one equipped like this—with factory air, radio, and original seating all intact.

This is the kind of Bronco that collectors often dream of finding: two owners, uncut, and in clean, dry condition. If you’re looking to preserve an icon, this one might be worth a closer look.

Would you leave it as-is or give this survivor a fresh restoration?
