This 1978 Ford Bronco combines classic V8 4x4 styling with nice investments like the bright paint and an A/C interior. That makes this the total package that's ready to run right now. The second-generation Bronco is where Ford really turned it up a notch. Larger styling, larger engines, and just an overall larger presence. So when it debuted for 1978, it was an instant legend. This bolder Bronco idea was really taken to heart on this example. The... original red paint was treated to a professional respray later in life. It's the perfect backdrop for the rugged black pieces like the Black Rock beadlock style wheels, swing-away rear tire, and black removable hardtop roof w/dark window tinting. But more than just a nice color package with modern appeal, you love this one for the classic look that comes from all the brightwork. The updated Ford F-Series front end shines brightly, and the complete side trim even has a black line for both protection and to really bring the whole package together. It's this kind of thoughtfulness that makes the this classic 4x4 quite striking from every angle. The appeal of red and black continue on the inside. The door panels, carpeting, dash, and everything else expertly intertwines these two colors. And it all looks so good because they gave this all the right investments. In fact, just look at the freshly recovered seats. The rear bench is crisp and inviting. And up front, those buckets give this classic a fresh and everyday kind of appeal. That's especially true with the cup holder center condole and upgraded to an AM/FM/CD stereo. And while this one looks like no one ever removed the rear hardtop, we love these Broncos, because they provide that true convertible-like feeling. And if you ever do go open-air cruising, the modern R134a air conditioning will keep you comfortable. While the previous generation Bronco stopped at Ford's 302 V8, this one has a period-correct 351 cubic-inch motor. And you can tell from the tidy presentation, newer belts, and crisp components that this has received the right care along the way. Even better is that this V8 inhales deeply through a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as headers feed the dual exhaust. A two-speed 4x4 transfer case, beefy axles, and Falken Wild Peak A/T tires mean this powerful classic can still take you deep into the wilderness. But it also has features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes make it a fine choice for in-town, too. And you can tell from the solid feeling on the road that this is a great anytime classic. The second-generation Bronco was only available for a couple of years. So when you can find such a nice example that's been given all the right investments, and it's offered for an obtainable price, then you know you need to hurry on this deal. Call today!!!
