Classic Bronco Originally developed as a compact off-road vehicle
using its own chassis, the Bronco initially competed against the
Jeep CJ-5 and International Harvester Scout. As Ford's model line
of sport utility vehicles manufactured for five generations and a
sixth generation debuting in 2021, the Bronco nameplate is a
favorite among car enthusiasts. The third generation Bronco was
developed to address many of the problems that the short-lived,
second generation big Bronco was known for. It was 28 inches
longer, 11 inches wider and 4 inches taller. With competitors like
the Chevrolet Blazer and Dodge Ramcharger, that might be designed
smaller and weighing less, the Bronco was a resounding hit and
outsold both models. The third generation Bronco appeared for the
1980 model year and was sold through 1986. With innovations that
boosted fuel economy and ensured a smoother ride, both on-road and
off, the third iteration Bronco set out to blaze further into fresh
territory. A change from solid front axle to independent front
suspension was implemented to improve ride characteristics while
not compromising ground clearance in rough terrain. These newer
models also offered more luxury amenities with sacrificing overall
capability. Amenities included flashy chrome accents, ultra-plush
carpeting, color-keyed upholstery and a simulated leather-wrapped
steering wheel. In addition, the third generation Bronco included
the introduction of the Eddie Bauer package which consisted of
hallmark two-tone paint treatment, special velour upholstery,
unique tire carrier, argent-painted styled steel wheels and even
Eddie Bauer-branded luggage. Highlighted here is a 1986 Ford Bronco
XLT that hails from Oregon. Displayed in a two-tone brown exterior
with tan cloth interior, this truck is ready for any journey. Under
the hood is a 5.0L V8 with automatic transmission and four-wheel
drive capability. Noted with 95k miles, this truck has also
received new brakes, new gas tank and has been converted to include
air conditioning. There are signs of wear on the rear bench seat
and a previous owner has installed an aftermarket radio into the
dash. Observed as a clean, classic Bronco, this truck should be
considered an American icon. With the debut of the sixth generation
in 2021, Ford has brought back many feelings of nostalgia. As the
hype for the new Bronco increases, it is the perfect time to get
your hands on a classic Bronco or add one to your collection.
