Powered by a Gen 2 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine paired with a 6R80
6-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift rocker switch,
this custom 1979 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT Chromatic Free Wheeling
Edition was built by Vivid Retro Customs in Lakewood, CO, and
underwent a two-year full frame-off restoration. The powertrain
features a PBH Performance accessory drive system, PBH Performance
ECM and harness, Champion aluminum radiator with dual electric fans
and a transmission cooler with an electric fan. Additional
mechanical equipment includes a Red-Head steering gearbox, dual
exhaust system and a dual-range transfer case with custom-length
driveshafts. Stopping power comes from hydro-boost-assisted front
and rear disc brakes with a Wilwood master cylinder and Hydratech
hydro-boost system. The cabin is equipped with front bucket seats
in red leather with patterned cloth inserts, a matching rear bench
in red vinyl and cloth, Dakota Digital gauges, a Vintage Air
climate-control system, red replacement carpeting, aftermarket
pedal covers and a tilt steering column with the factory steering
wheel. The sound system consists of a RetroSound stereo paired with
AudioFrog speakers, a JL Audio subwoofer and a Kenwood amplifier,
supported by all-new wiring. The body was disassembled,
media-blasted and refinished in factory Candy Apple Red with new
Chromatic Free Wheeling decals, while the frame was stripped and
refinished in epoxy semi-gloss black. Bed-liner material was
applied to the underside of the body and floor pan, and the
exterior is completed with a black removable hardtop, matte black
bumpers, Hella fog lamps, a drop-down tailgate, factory "Cactus
Smasher" push bar and factory roll bar. It rides on a BDS 4-inch
suspension lift with dual front shocks, front and rear sway bars,
manually locking Warn front hubs and 15-inch ProComp wheels wrapped
in 33x12.50-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires. A Marti Report is
included with the sale.
