Vehicle Description
35,000 original miles. Two owners. Great color combination with
desirable embroidered cloth interior. Professionally maintained and
in excellent condition throughout. Recently serviced with new
tires. Attractive Bronco ready to have fun in the dirt.The Bronco
was all-new for 1987, incorporating Ford's latest aerodynamic look
from the F150 and fuel injection across the board. The Bronco was
still instantly recognizable but the smoother contours were just
right for the '80s. Outdoor outfitter Eddie Bauer was tapped to
adorn the top-of-the-line Bronco, adding some credibility in the
rough yet flavored with a little luxury. Dressed in beautiful Blue
and Tan livery, this 1987 Bronco has the right Eddie Bauer look
that defined a whole generation of Ford SUVs. With so few miles,
it's beautifully preserved and has obviously never had to fight its
way through winter weather despite a lifetime in the Midwest. The
paint is entirely original with no touch-ups or resprays, which
will tell you just how nice this truck really is-it shines up like
its three years old, not thirty five. All the heavy-duty truck
styling cues were still there, including a bold chrome grille, big
mirrors, and a rear-mounted spare tire with matching vinyl cover.
And like the Broncos before it, the entire rear section of the roof
is removable for open-air motoring if you're so inclined. The trim
is in excellent shape and the entire truck fits together with
surprising quality-Fords were pretty good in the late '80s.The tan
interior is where the Eddie Bauer editions stood apart. Handsome
cloth buckets wear embroidered seat backs to lend a sense of the
outdoors without diluting the top-of-the-line luxury. Some faux
burled walnut on the dashboard helps warm things up a bit and there
are drop-down armrests for both driver and passenger. Gauges cover
all the critical functions and they all work properly-in fact,
everything works including the A/C and the original AM/FM/cassette
stereo. Power windows and locks were standard on the Eddie Bauer
version, as was a power rear window. And unlike its ancestors, this
one activates 4-wheel-drive with just a touch of a button the dash,
which was a real innovation in the '80s. No more getting out to
lock the hubs. Rear seat space is impressive and if you've got lots
of cargo to haul, the Bronco's got you covered with a fold-down
rear seat and fully carpeted rear area big enough to handle almost
anything. This Bronco is powered by Ford's legendary 5.0 liter V8,
which was rated at 188 horsepower and 270 pounds of torque in truck
applications. It's 100% stock and unmodified, although more power
is just a phone call away if you want to go in that direction.
Thanks to Ford's awesome EEC-IV engine management system, it starts
instantly, idles easily, and pulls the big SUV around without ever
seeming to work very hard. The engine bay is extremely clean and
well maintained and remains entirely stock save for R134a
refrigerant in the A/C system. It's backed by Ford's reliable AOD
4-speed automatic transmission driving a 2-speed transfer case and
both axles with 3.55 gears inside. As a result, it's a comfortable
highway driver that still crawls through the dirt with ease. The
underside shows no evidence of use in inclement weather or salt,
and it has been recently oiled so it should stay clean for the
foreseeable future no matter what you do. There's also a newer
exhaust system with a nice 5.0 burble, skid plates for off-roading,
and a fresh set of 235/75/15 BFGoodrich All-Terrain radials on the
factory wheels.Documentation is extensive and includes the original
window sticker, manuals, and purchase documents. We also have a
Deluxe Marti Report, brochures, maintenance receipts over the past
several years, and other details from the truck's history.You may
have noticed that these Broncos are gaining value by leaps and
bounds, and this is one of the best we've seen. Great colors, lots
of options, low mileage, and a clean history mean this is the one
to own, regardless of whether you're a show car guy or a dirt
crawler. Either way, the Bronco is ready to enjoy. Call
