Vehicle Description
At the crossroads of 4x4 utility vehicle, hot rod, and all-around
stunner is this 1996 Ford Bronco. With its powerful 5.0
fuel-injected V8 and a rare five-speed manual, this one is quite
unique. But when you add in the recent investments including the
4x4 transfer case, suspension, and cold-blowing A/C, you realize
it's the one vehicle that can do it all.
This Bronco has the look of good quality because it was under
long-term care. The first owner kept it 22 years. And the latest
owner has even made recent solid investments all around the SUV. So
it makes for the kind of cared-for story we all want in our
vehicles. The factory
Light Willow Green Metallic is a color we don't see too often on
this gen Bronco, and it's made even more distinctive by a bright
finish that suggests a professional respray. The paint is a
thoughtful part of the package because it harmonizes with the
darker green hardtop. At the same time, the paint's metallic
element gives this a shine to go with the chrome bumpers, polished
grille, and new Cragar wheels. And as good as this whole package
looks, you also will love its level of utility. The Rough Country
shocks for a lifted 4x4 stance, the full-size spare on a swing-away
mount, and a proper tow hitch all keep this classic quite a useful
vehicle.
The advantage of a full-size Bronco from this generation is having
the sporty two-door style, but it still offers huge room inside. In
fact, another unique feature you'll notice on this one is right up
front. The split bench seat allows you fit one more than most
others (six in total) while still giving the driver high-back
comfort. There's plenty of legroom in the rear for adults to spread
out, and there's even space for everyone's gear behind this seat.
There are worthwhile features, like a driver's airbag, electric
rear window, rear defogger, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with
iPod input. The hardtop is removable, and so to make sure that any
open-air driving remains comfortable, you have cold-blowing R134a
air conditioning.
Under the hood is the fresh and clean look of proper Ford power.
This is Ford's fuel-injected 5.0-liter V8, and it's believed to be
original to this Bronco. And on a long-term care SUV like this,
you'll love pointing out details, like the 1996 correct stickers on
the valve covers. Best of all, you have complete control over this
V8 thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. It's a rare
feature where we even have the Marti Report that shows this color
combo and gearbox package is one of only 88 ever! And while this is
rare, it's also meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. That's why
there have been some nice recent investments, including the 4x4
transfer case, new Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires, the driveshaft, and
exhaust. This is also an all-around fine driver with power
steering, power brakes, and front discs.
The sale comes complete with the Marti Report as well as the
owner's manual packet. This is Bronco is rare, stunning, loaded,
and absolutely awesome. Call today!!!
