1979 Ford Bronco XLT Ranger 4 X 4

1979 Ford Bronco XLT Ranger

RELISTED FOR NON PERFORMANCE.

1979 Ford Bronco XLT Ranger with every option but the factory CB and OEM roll bar--though it has a full cage installed. One owner, in the family since new. I hate to sell it, but life often throws you some curves. Things change. Insert your reasoning here.

This Bronco has been garage kept and has been completely gone over several times in its 38 year life. Last summer, we went through it again, and haven't put 500 miles on since.

This truck was meant to be a badass, bulletproof driver, not some trailer queen show truck. It was rebuilt with longevity and reliability in mind. The paint is not perfect, but the body is rock solid and there is no rust. Front I nner wheel splash shields were modified and fitted the rear. All the Ranger XLT trim is there. Quarters were professionally replaced with Ford stampings and wheel houses, tailgate is solid, rear window works, and the truck is very straight. Frame is minty. It's the perfect vehicle for Armageddon, or protecting yourself and your family during the upcoming Republican -Democrat civil wars. Or, use it as s daily driver and make a statement.

Interior has the original captains chairs and flip fold seats which have been professionally redone in the proper factory upholstery (sourced at an incredible $90 per yard from SEM in Oregon, with new foam and hardware, new OEM carpet and lower trim panels. The door panels are the original wood grain XLT Ranger units with matching factory inner quarter panel trim and armrests. All interior conveniencece--lights work, and there's a new Sony AM/FM/CD/MP3/USB stereo, amp, four three way speakers and new wiring. Everything works--as I said, the AC has new everything and is ice cold.
