Shifting to a larger platform and sharing body-style components
with the F-Series, the second-generation Bronco debuted in 1978.
The first two years of this larger and more luxurious Bronco were
some of the most popular in the namesakes 30-year production run.
With key off-road capabilities including maneuverability and things
such as approach, departure and breakover angles, the sales of this
generation of Bronco reach record levels short after its launch.
The introduction of the 1978 Bronco was heralded in many off-road
publications and received many awards. Touted in ads as the first
4-wheeler that puts it all together. The second-generation Bronco
upped its toughness game from the previous model by including
off-road-ready optional features like dual shocks for the front
suspension, heavy-duty rear shocks as well as front and rear sway
bars to improve ride and handling. In addition to mechanical
advancements, these Broncos offered new exterior styling with a
wide assortment of bold two-tone paint treatments and a fiberglass
top creating a ruggedly handsome physique. Highlighted here is a
1979 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT that is displayed with a two-tone red
and white paint scheme. Finished in the factory color scheme, this
Bronco looks pretty close to how it looked on its way out of the
factory. Only the wheels and tires have been changed to give it a
different look. With a good look at the pics, you can tell that
this truck has been cared for and well maintained. All trim,
moldings, and exterior chrome shine beautifully with no visible
dulling. Although not being original, the chrome wheels offset the
two-tone paint nicely and are also in excellent condition. The
all-red interior styling is exactly what you would expect from the
late 70s, with striped inserts on the front bucket seats and rear
bench seat. The interior like the exterior, has been very well
kept. The only points of concern might be a slight rip on the
drivers bucket seat and minor discolorations on the carpeting from
what looks like sun exposure. The burlwood dash inserts and chrome
bezels are in great shape. Powered by a 351ci V8 paired with an
automatic transmission, this 4x4 truck is meant for the road. Its
completely stock under the hood right down to the blue Ford paint
on the valve covers and engine block. A 4x4 selector on the floor
in the cabin allows for the selection of 4x4, 2HI, or 2LO, so
drivers can handle any terrain that they come across. Lovingly
known among collectors as the Big Bronco, this 1979 model lives up
to this larger-than-life stature. With all the capability of a
large truck and the additional passenger room of a sedan, this
Bronco is the best of both worlds. This is a great vehicle for
having fun with friends. Crank up the tunes, remove the top, and
head towards the beach for a day of adventure and fun. Please call
if interested or e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for
looking.
