Vehicle Description
America's most notorious 4x4 is also becoming a great collectable.
This 1991 Ford Bronco 4x4 is now eligible for AACA shows and
remains the pinnacle of full-sized Bronco fun. Very nicely
preserved, this is the one to own if you've always admired the big
Bronc.
Ford did gangbuster business in the late '80s and early '90s with
their upscale off-road machines, and not many full-sized
off-roaders were more admired than the Bronco. While the most
famous one was white, this handsome bright red Bronco is downright
gorgeous to look at and it's hard to believe that these went out of
production more than two decades ago. I mean, this sucker's in
incredible condition! We believe that to be original paint, so it's
showing a bit of age but nothing critical and it certainly speaks
highly of the care it has received over the years. The chrome
bumpers look great, the grille and aero headlights are excellent,
and the black roof adds just the right contrast to work with the
lower rocker moldings to give it a heavy-duty look. Go ahead, just
try to find one this clean and without any questionable
modifications; they just don't exist like this anymore!
The interior is another very pleasant surprise, offering plush
cloth buckets and lots of space for five. Ford insisted on upscale
appointments in the top-of-the-line models, and the fabric chosen
here is tasteful and durable, showing minimal wear over the past 26
or so years. Nice carpets are showing some age and wear but still
feel plush, and as the most expensive of the Ford SUVs, this Bronco
sports just about every feature in the book: power windows and
locks, A/C, cruise control, and a power rear window. A wide center
console offers plenty of storage as well as a handy place to put
your coffee and the dash is one of the more car-like features of
this big truck. A full array of big, legible gauges are in front of
the driver, with the climate controls and AM/FM stereo waaaaay over
there in the center of the dash. The nicely appointed back seat
looks barely used and the cargo bay is positively massive, fully
upholstered and carrying a full-sized spare tire and jack
assembly.
Ford's erstwhile 302 cubic inch V8 is a great choice to move all
this sheetmetal, providing plenty of low-end torque that never
feels strained. Despite a vast aftermarket for the venerable 5.0,
this one remains quite stock, from the long intake hoses from the
remote air filter to the intake that was specifically designed to
bolster the torque curve. The engine bay is as clean as the rest of
the truck, and if it's ever seen anything rougher than a gravel
driveway, I'd be surprised. With a 4-speed automatic overdrive
transmission and a 2-speed transfer case, this truck is equally
happy at highway speeds or crawling at barely a walking pace and
the suspension is built for moderate off-roading that would strand
one of today's "cute utes." Even the exhaust system is quite stock,
offering a smooth hum instead of V8 horsepower, but that's easy to
fix if you need a bit more rumble. Handsome factory aluminum wheels
are bright and shiny with no curb rash, wearing 31x10.50-15
BFGoodrich All-Terrain radials which are pretty pricey all by
themselves.
If you grew up in the '80s, you know this is a cool truck, and you
just won't find more full-sized go-anywhere transportation for less
cash than this. Call today!
