Vehicle Description
This 1978 Ford Bronco is about size, V8 power, 4x4 ability, and an
overall upgraded presence. It all makes for an SUV that's both
unmistakably vintage and capable.
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. We
really like to see one like this that has some upgrades, but it all
still harmonizes with the classic 4x4 style. For example, you have
an upgraded set of tubular side steps and 15-inch Pacer wheel. They
coordinate with the blacked-out factory grille, bumpers, side
mirrors, and headlight bezels. The dark brown metallic paint looks
nice against these black accessories. It's the factory-correct
color, and it has the kind of presentation that reminds you
earthtones look great when they get muddy. And not only does the
yellow fiberglass top look good on this Bronco, but it also
coordinates with the pinstriping running the full profile and in
the tailgate to really bring the total package together.
The interior continues the mix of black and brown. You have nice
features like recently re-covered front bucket seats, newer
carpeting, and a newer dash pad. There's also an AM/FM/CD stereo
with aux input for upgraded driving music. The rear side panels are
currently done in wood to house the upgraded speaker setup, but the
factory side panels also come with the sale. We especially love
these 2nd-gen Broncos because they upgraded the versatility. As a
full-size vehicle, there's plenty of room for all you gear. Plus,
the trailer hitch means you get to bring even more fun wherever you
go. The key-operated power rear window gives you a tailgate that
you can sit on everywhere from ball games to the campsite. And the
removable rear hardtop delivers a convertible-like feeling whenever
you want.
While the previous generation Bronco stopped at Ford's 302 V8, the
second-gen means proper 351 V8 power. This has quite stock look,
but the details like the newer belts, wires, and hoses all signal
proper maintenance over the years. The V8 fires up nicely as it
gives a low rumble out of the glasspack-style dual exhaust. A
two-speed 4x4 transfer case, beefy axles, and Mud Claw Extreme M/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 power front disc brakes to make
it a fine choice for in-town, too.
The second-generation Bronco was only available for two years, so
we're all on the lookout for a good one. That's why you know this
4x4 will be leaving us soon. Call today!!!
