Overview of 1979 Ford Bronco For Sale by Owner

The Ford Bronco is one of those all-time greats. Widely considered a trailblazing two-door SUV, the Bronco ran between 1966 and 1996 before a twenty-five-year break. It returned in 2021, bringing many iconic design elements and distinctive features. While the new Bronco enjoys a significant waiting list, classic Broncos are gaining popularity. That's why you'll want to capture this 1979 Ford Bronco without delay. The current owner says that the vehicle was purchased from the original family that bought it. Furthermore, it's got a lovely surprise under the hood and several modern conveniences within the skin of this Bronco.

Exterior and Interior

This 1979 Ford Bronco comes to you in a vivid shade of red, replete with a black removable top covering the rear section. This is one of the signature features of a Bronco – you've got the protection of a hardtop for daily driving duties, coupled with convertible vibes for those weekends or off-road forays. Next up, we find a beefy set of off-road tires, signaling this Bronco's desire to hit the rough stuff at every opportunity. Finally, you'll find all badging is present and correct, a lovely touch for those who covet the little details. Inside, we're received by a cabin with wood trim on the dashboard and door cards, plus seating for up to four occupants. The seats sport a lovely fabric on them and are of the low-back variety. A glance at the instrument cluster will reveal that it's indeed a retro-modern affair; analog gauges tastefully blend in with digital displays for information such as fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. Now, let's shift our attention to the center console, where we find a Vintage Air climate control panel offering heating plus air conditioning. Beneath this lies a retro-modern push-button-style radio that's actually got modern features. A final surprise can be found within the steering column, in the shape of a cruise control stalk.

Engine

Typically, this 1979 Ford Bronco will have sported a Ford Cleveland V8 with less than 160hp, thanks to the Malaise Era. However, that is long gone. In its place is a monster 7.3L Godzilla V8, paired with a 6R80 automatic transmission for amazingly potent performance. The drive is sent to the wheels via a two-speed transfer case that offers 2WD and 4WD with high and low ranges. Finally, the full Super Duty suspension ensures that you can really enjoy yourself off-road.
