Long before the Ford Raptor was a thing, the Ford Bronco was the
Blue Oval's off-road icon. -Car and Driver, July 2020 The Ford.com
website describes these Broncos: For Generation 4, the previous
years' trend toward aerodynamic design forged ahead, with sculpted
edges (both inside and out) replacing boxy corners. On the
engineering side, new powertrain and safety updates took center
stage. Affectionately known in enthusiast circles as the 'brick
nose,' the 1987 Bronco boasted a more aerodynamic silhouette than
its 'bull nose' predecessors. Right angles and jutting edges gave
way to dynamic sloping lines for the body, bumpers and mirrors, and
headlights were flush with the front end. A revamped interior
featured rounded surfaces in the dashboard, instrument cluster and
climate controls. The 1987 Bronco offered here in black over red is
a well-maintained, fourth-generation, nicely refreshed, and lifted
Bronco. With 88,991 total miles (or a very conservative roughly
2,700 miles per-year on average), the truck has been respectfully
owned, properly refreshed and well-maintained. The black exterior
paint on the Bronco has been well-maintained. The finish is
excellent across all body panels, including the fiberglass,
removable (sorta... it weighs 600 pounds) roof and the truck's
tailgate, with no signs of fading, wear, or damage. Body panels are
straight, free of dents, and show no sign of any replacement. Panel
gaps are consistent; sheet metal is free of damage.
Factory-installed, chrome West Coast-style side mirrors are
mounted. Aftermarket, heavy-gauge bumpers incorporate chrome and
black-painted finishes (the front grille includes driving lights)
and are in excellent condition. The Bronco's chrome grille,
windshield surround, fender-edge trim retain close-to-new shine;
the tailgate brushed-metal trim piece is free of dings and dents.
Lighting lenses are clear and undamaged. All factory emblems and
badging-including 4x4 on below the front grille, Bronco XLT badges
on the fenders, and blue-oval Ford logo badges front and rear-is
properly in place. Lighting lenses and cabin glass are clear and
undamaged. Polished-aluminum wheels are mounted with fresh Mickey
Thompson Baja MTZ outline-white-letter 35x12.50 all-terrain tires.
Interior surfaces-including the red dash, original red-velour
upholstery on the front high-back buckets and (removable) rear
bench seat, and door panels-are clean and have been well cared-for.
A stock black steering wheel frames the woodgrain-trimmed
instrument cluster. Woodgrain trim extends across the face of the
red dash. The B&M® Star Shifter automatic-transmission shifter
is floor-mounted, as is the 4-wheel drive transfer case selector.
The stock AM-FM-cassette radio remains mounted; HVAC controls are
located just above. A deep lockable storage compartment separates
the front seats. Cabin glass is clear and free of damage. Red
carpeting throughout has been well cared for generally, but the
rear-seat and the cargo area show carpet wear and staining. Under
the hood, the truck's engine bay is complete and very clean. The
5.0-liter Ford V8 sports an open-sided Edelbrock®-branded
finned-aluminum air cleaner, bare-metal manifold, and Ford
Performance-branded polished aluminum valve covers. All
components-including air conditioning-are properly mounted. Viewed
from below, the truck's undercarriage is clean with
