Based on the almost 6mo or so it stayed at this dealer I think this is a valid assumption. Again, just my opinion. \r\nAs can be seen in the original documentation that comes with this Bronco, it stayed in and nearby this dealer in Texas with the original owner for around 20 years when he moved to the TN mountains. The 2nd owner who was on title when I got it purchased it from the original owner and rarely used the Bronco, mainly short trips locally. The 2nd owner understood how special this Bronco was and the originality with low mileage. The mileage is backed up with documentation. \r\nEverything works like it should on this Bronco.\r\nFactory CB still works and the factory CB antenna is present. \r\nI believe all the paint is original except maybe the white on the drivers door and front fender which looks cleaner and has a slightly thicker paint gauge reading. \r\nIt really is a unmolested time capsule any Ford or Bronco lover will be proud to own. \r\n\r\nAny questions don\u2019t hesitate to ask.

The built-in CB radio would have been a slam-dunk, as \"Smokey and the Bandit\" was still killing it at the box office that summer. Lighted vanity mirror? Of course!

Obviously air conditioning for those hot Texas days. \n\nI looked up Leif Johnson Ford and their \"About Us\" page; going strong for over 60 years and a bit of a mega-dealer around Austin.
