For Sale at Auction: 1978 Ford Bronco in Scottsdale, Arizona

Vehicle Description

This custom 1978 Ford Bronco XLT Ranger is the recipient of a comprehensive, frame-off restoration. Powering this Bronco is a 7.5-liter fuel-injected Ford big-block crate engine paired with a C6 automatic transmission and NP205 transfer case. The drivetrain features a Ford 9-inch rear end and Dana 44 front axle, both equipped with 3.73 gears, with a posi-traction unit in the rear for improved traction. Supporting the powertrain is an oversized radiator and a custom 3-inch lift performance suspension system with dual front Fox Racing shocks. A custom MagnaFlow exhaust system delivers a deep, refined tone. The interior is a fully custom creation by Armando's Custom Interior, featuring premium black leather combined with German blue plaid inserts that complement the exterior perfectly. Attention to detail is evident throughout, with updated Dakota Digital gauges, a Vintage Air climate-control system and a Bluetooth audio system seamlessly integrated for modern convenience. Every major component - including the frame, axles and suspension parts - has been powder-coated for durability and a clean, uniform appearance. The body was completely disassembled, sandblasted, metal-worked and refinished in BMW Yas Marina Blue Pearl, accented by a crisp white two-tone coastal-inspired look. This restoration is fully documented with extensive before-and-after photos, capturing the depth and care put into every stage of the build. It has been driven approximately 500 test miles since completion.
