THE 1980-1986 BRONCO'S AND EVEN THE F-SERIES TRUCKS HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS ESPECIALLY SOLID CLEAN ORIGINAL ONES LIKE THIS 86. FROM WHAT WE CAN TELL BESIDES SOME PAINT WORK DONE AT THE REAR OF THE TRUCK THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TWO TONE 32 YEAR OLD SINGLE STAGE SHADOW BLUE METALLIC AND EDDIE BAUER TAN PAINT. IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL PAINTED SMALL TWO LINE PINSTRIPE AT THE TOP AND THE FACTORY FORD TWO COLOR SINGLE PIECE PINSTRIPE DECAL ON THE BOTTOM AND NICE ORIGINAL TAN INTERIOR.

THIS HAS BEEN A WELL CARED FOR AND LOVED BRONCO AND BESIDES A STEREO SWAP AND THE UPGRADED TIRE SIZE IT HAS BEEN LEFT BONE STOCK THROUGHOUT AND UNDER THE HOOD IS 100% FACTORY AND UN-TOUCHED BESIDES YOUR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ITEMS. SINCE I WAS A KID I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS BOXY CLASSIC SNUBBED NOSE BODY STYLE, BUT IT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN AT THE TOP OF THE PECKING ORDER OF BRONCO'S IN PREVIOUS DECADES WHICH LED TO MANY BEING ABUSED, NOT TAKEN CARE OF AND OFTEN TIMES LET SIT TO DETERIAT IF THEY HAD SMALL TO LARGE MECHANICAL FAILURE AND NOW THAT YOU RARELY SEE THEM THEY HAVE STARTED TO BECOME MORE DESIRABLE AND IN THE PAST FEW YEARS FINALLY BECOME APPRECIATED AS THEY ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THEY HAVE NICE CLASSIC BODY LINES AND LEGENDARY ROCK SOLID DRIVE TRAIN AND HAVE CONTINUED TO CLIMB IN VALUE ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE IN DEPTH DESCRIPTIONS AND SCROLL TO THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE TEXT TO SEE THE 150 LARGE DETAILED PICS FOLLOWED BY A WALK AROUND VIDEO WITH A BANNER ABOVE THAT HAS THE LINK TO THE RUNNING AND DRIVING VIDEO.THIS WA STATE BRONCO HAS ALWAYS BEEN A REGISTERED AND DRIVEN BRONCO EVERY 32 YEARS OF IT'S LIFE AND THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD IT ALL THE WAY UNTIL 2004 UNTIL IT WAS SOLD OFF. IT HAS A CLEAR ACCIDENT HISTORY, COME WITH A CLEAN WASHINGTON STATE TITLE AND AMAZINGLY HAS PASSED EVERY EMISSIONS INSPECTION EXCEPT ONE TIME IN 1997. THE CURRENT ODOMETER READS 25,155 AND BY OVER ALL CONDITION, ORIGINALITY AND SMALL WEAR FOR IT'S AGE WE BELIEVE IT HAS ROLLED OVER ONCE, TO ACTUALLY BE 125,155 MILES. AS ALL VEHICLES OF THIS AGE AND PRIOR HAVE A 5 DIGIT ODOMETER AND WILL BE LISTED AS MILES EXEMPT ON THE PURCHASE ORDER AS ALMOST EVERY STATE DOES ON OLDER VEHICLES, BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK EVEN AT THE SMALL ITEMS ON THIS TRUCK THAT USUALLY SHOW MUCH MORE WEAR IN THIS ERA OF TRUCK AND MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT AND BID ON OVERALL CONDITION. BODY- THIS IS A VERY STRAIGHT, CLEAN AND SOLID ORIGINAL BRONCO. THIS TWO TONE EDDIE BAUER COLORS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TIMELESS AND SOUGHT AFTER COMBO AND THIS 86 HAS THAT RIGHT THROW BACK FACTORY LOOK WITH IT'S FACTORY STOCK APPEARANCE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE WHEELS. THIS IS A TRUE SINGLE STAGE PAINT ALL THE WAY AROUND THAT HAS THE LOOK, EQUAL WEAR AND OVER ALL PRESENCE OF A TRUE ALL ORIGINAL PAINT TRUCK. YOU HAVE TO LOOK CLOSE TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY PAINT WORK DONE, AND YOU WILL NOT FIND ANY TAPE LINES OR OVER SPRAY ON THE ROCKERS, HOOD, FRONT FENDERS OR DOORS, BUT IT APPEARS TO HAVE HAD SOME PAINT WORK EARLY IN IT'S LIFE ON THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. YOU WILL FIND A VERY HARD TO SEE FAINT TAPE LINE IN THE INNER DOOR JAMBS WHERE THE QUARTER PANELS MEET THE INNER DOOR JAMB AND YOU WILL ALSO FIND A LITTLE OVER-SPRAY IN THE GAS FILLER AREA. WHAT TELLS US THAT IT WAS DONE VERY EARLY IN IT'S LIFE IS THAT IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE IT MAY HAVE BEEN DEALERSHIP DONE JOB, SINCE IT HAS THE FACTORY LOOKING PAINTED PINSTRIPE AT THE TOP AND THE ONE PIECE FACTORY DECAL STRIPE AT THE BOTTOM. THESE TWO ITEMS ARE USUALLY THE INSTANT DUE TELL SIGN OF PAINT WORK DONE SINCE THAT LOWER STRIPE HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FROM FORD SINCE SHORTLY AFTER THIS BODY STYLE WAS CHANGED AND WHEN MOST BODY SHOPS DO PAINT WORK THEY REPLACE THE PAINTED PINSTRIPE WITH A STANDARD DECAL STYLE. OTHER THEN THAT THIS TRUCK IS AMAZINGLY VERY ORIGINAL EVEN DOWN TO THE OLD STYLE FACTORY GAS CAP WITH THE MOTORCRAFT ENGRAVED ON IT AND IS A ITEM THAT IS USUALLY LONG LOST OR SWAPPED OUT. THE PAINT HAS NICE COLOR, SHINE AND A SMOOTH GLOSSY FEEL. ALL THE PANEL GAPS ARE NICE AND EVEN WITH SMOOTH AND EASILY CLOSING DOORS THAT HAVE NO HINGE ISSUE, THE HOOD OPEN AND CLOSES SMOOTHLY, THE TAILGATE OPENS AND CLOSES EASILY WITH SMOOTH OPERATING REAR WINDOW THAT WORKS FROM BOTH SWITCHES. THIS HAS A ARROW STRAIGHT BODY WITH NO CREASES, DINGS OR DENTS BESIDES A SMALL AREA ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ROCKER THAT IS PUSHED UP JUST BELOW THE DOOR. THIS HAS A NICE DRY AND SOLID BODY WITH THE ONLY SPOT OF CANCER LOCATED AT THE COMMON AREA IN THE CENTER BOTTOM OF TAILGATE. THE TOP IS LEAK FREE AND ALL GLASS IS ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THAT HAS JUST. ONE LITTLE CHIP ON THE TOP DRIVER SIDE. THE REAR FIBERGLASS TOP HAS NICE BRIGHT TAN COLOR WITH NO FADING, CHIPPED CORNERS OR SCUFFS IN THE FIBERGLASS. ALL CHROME STILL HAS A NICE DEEP MIRROR LIKE REFLECTION CHROME SHOULD HAVE WITH MINIMAL AGING AND ALL BLACK EXTERIOR TRIM STILL HAVE DARK COLOR. THIS BRONCO HAS A SUPER CLEAN CRISP AND FACTORY LOOK THAT IS IN BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE 32+ YEAR OLD CONDITION SUV OR TRUCK, BUT IT STILL HAS BEEN A USED AND ENJOYED TRUCK THAT DOES SHOW PAINT AGE AND HAVE PAINT WEAR FROM WEATHER, SUN AND OVER THREE DECADES OF DRIVING. THERE IS YOUR TYPICAL SMALL STONE CHIPS AFTER THE TIRES ALONG THE LOWER AREA THAT ARE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PENCIL TIP ALONG WITH ON THE FRONT VALANCE BELOW THE GRILLE AND A FEW ON THE HOOD. IT HAS SOME SMALL SURFACE SCRATCHES IN THE PAINT NEAR THE KEY AND HANDLE AREA OF BOTH DOORS AND A COUPLE SMALL CHIPS ON THE ENTRY DOOR AREAS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE TRUCK MAY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PARKED WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE MAY HAVE BEEN MORE EXPOSED TO THE SUN AND ELEMENTS CAUSING THE PASSENGER SIDE QUARTER PANEL AND PART OF THE PASSENGER DOOR TO LOOK A LITTLE MORE DRY AND FADE QUICKER. IF YOU GET VERY CLOSE TO THE PAINT AND TOUCH IT THERE IS SOME FAINT CHECKERING IN THE PAINT OF THOSE TWO PANELS. THERE IS A LARGE SCRATCH ON THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER JUST AFTER THE REAR TIRE, THERE IS A SMALL AREA OF TINY PAINT BUBBLES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER FENDER JUST AFTER THE TIRES AND AT THE DRIVER B-PILLAR AND QUARTER PANEL JOINTING POINT. THERE IS A LITTLE AREA OF AGE IN THE PAINT AND SURFACE RUST ON THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN GUTTER AT THE TOP. THE EDGES AND TOP OF THE TAILGATE HAS SOME TYPICAL LOADING SCRATCHES AND SMALL CHIPS AND THE RUBBER OUTER WINDOW SWEEP IS GETTING HARD AND CRACKING. THERE IS A AREA JUST UNDER DRIVER SIDE WINDOW ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG BY 1/4 TALL THAT LOOKS TO HAVE HAD A DECAL ONCE ON THE PAINT OR SOMETHING THAT HAS LEFT SOME MARKS. IT HAS NO CLEAR COAT ISSUES SINCE IT IS A SINGLE STATE LACQUER PAINT TRUCK NOT A CLEAR COAT, BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME COMMON AGING AND BLEMISHES YOU WILL FIND IN OLD LACQUER PAINT ESPECIALLY ON THE METALLIC COLORS IN SOME AREAS OF THE HOOD, ROOF AND SIDE PANELS, BUT THEY STILL HAVE NICE COLOR AND GLOSS. ALL PLASTIC LIGHT LENSES HAVE NICE COLOR AND FREE OF ANY CRACKS OR HOLES, BUT THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE A LITTLE DULL. ALL OF THESE ARE VERY MINOR AND FAR LESS THAN EXPECTED ESPECIALLY ON A TRUCK OF THIS AGE AND CAN BE SEEN IN THE WALK AROUND VIDEO AND IN THE PICS. OVERALL THIS IS A CLEAN BRONCO THAT HAS BEEN LEFT VERY ORIGINAL AND YOU CAN TELL IT HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER! INTERIOR- THIS 86 BRONCO'S INTERIOR MATCHES THE EXTERIOR IN OVERALL CONDITION THAT HAS BEEN LEFT VERY ORIGINAL. BESIDES THE STEREO IT IS HOW FORD BUILT IT AND THE CENTER DASH PIECE IS UN-CUT BEHIND THE STEREO PLATE IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO ORIGINAL. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SMOKE AND PET FREE INTERIOR WITH NO SMELLS OR LEAKS AND THE MAJORITY OF THE INTERIOR STILL HAS THE NICE ORIGINAL TAN COLOR IT SHOULD WITH VERY LITTLE SUN FADING FOR 32 YEARS. THE DOOR JAMBS AND HINGE AREA HAS VERY MINIMAL ENTRY WEAR AND NO DIRT OR GREASE. LOADED WITH ALL THE OPTIONS YOU COULD GET IN 86, POWER WINDOWS, POWER LOCKS, TILT, CRUISE AND LEATHER WRAPPED STEERING WHEEL THAT HAS A LITTLE WEAR. VERY CLEAN DASH WITH CLEAR GAUGES AND IS STILL IN THE DEEP TAN SHADE IT SHOULD BE WITH JUST WEAR IN THE TOP CENTER SPEAKER GRILLE AND A SPIDER CRACK IN THE VINYL DASH PAD ON THE TOP RIGHT. EASY TO OPERATE TILT STEERING WITH NO WORN STEERING COLUMN ISSUES AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CRUISE CONTROLS OPERATES CORRECTLY. VERY NICE ORIGINAL CAPTAIN STYLE FRONT BUCKET SEATS WITH CENTER CONSOLE AND FULLY FOLDING AND REMOVABLE REAR BENCH SEAT. THE SEATS ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH NO HOLES, CUTS, LOOSE MATERIAL OR BREAKDOWN OF THE CLOTH OR INNER FOAM STRUCTURE AND THE ONLY AREA THAT HAS SOME SUN FADING IS THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WHICH ALSO POINTS TO THIS TRUCK MAYBE ALWAYS PARKED IN A CARPORT WITH THE RIGHT SIDE MORE EXPOSED TO THE SUN. ALL FOUR FOLDING ARM REST ON THE FRONT SEATS MOVE FREELY, STAY IN PLACE AND HAVE NO BREAKDOWN. THE DOOR PANELS AND REAR SIDE CARGO PANELS HAVE FADED AND HAVE SOME SCUFFS AND MARKS. THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER SWITCH LIGHTS UP AS IT SHOULD ON THE DASH, THE REAR WINDOW GOES UP AND DOWN FROM THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR TAILGATE KEY SWITCH. THE POWER WINDOWS WORK NICE, BUT THE POWER LOCKS SWITCH DOESN'T BU THEY LOCK EASILY FORM THE INSIDE MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY. THE HEATER WORKS EXCELLENT WITH A QUITE AND SMOOTH BLOWER AND THE CLIMATE LEVERS MOVE SMOOTHLY, BUT THE A/C DOES NOT BLOW COLD. THE CARPET IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH NICE DEEP FACTORY TAN COLOR THAT STILL HAS THAT ORIGINAL WOVEN FLUFFY LOOK AND FEEL. IT IS JUST A LITTLE MORE FLAT AROUND THE DRIVER VINYL FOOT PAD AREA ALONG WITH A COUPE FAINT DARKER AREAS AS WELL IN THE BACK CARGO AREA. THE HEADLINER IS IN PERFECT SHAPE WITH NO SAG, FADING OR HOLES, BUT THE DRIVER SUN VISOR IS WAVY AND THE REAR SIDE TRIM PANELS THAT GO AROUND THE REMOVABLE TOP ARE MISSING. THIS 86 HAS LIVED AND BEEN ENJOYED FOR 32 FAITHFUL YEARS AND INSIDE THIS BRONCO IT IS VERY COMPLETE, COMFORTABLE, FACTORY CORRECT AND A RESPECTABLE INTERIOR. MECHANICAL- FOR BEING 32 YEARS OLD THIS BRONCO HAS A VERY HONEST, CORRECT, CLEAN AND SANITARY ENGINE BAY AND UNDERSIDE OF BODY WITH NICE ORIGINAL BLUE PAINT THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE BAY AND UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH THE HIGH OUTPUT 5.8 351 4BBL V8 BACKED BY C6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND EVERYTHING ON THIS MOTOR AND UNDER THE HOOD IS HOW IT SHOULD BE AND INTACT. BEING A SHORT WHEEL BASE TRUCK IT IS VERY FUN AND EASY TO DRIVE WITH SMOOTH EASY POWER STEERING, SMOOTH POWER BRAKES THAT STOP FIRM AND STRAIGHT WITH NO PULLING, NOISES SHAKING OR ISSUES.THE V8 MOTOR HAS A ELECTRIC CHOKE THAT FIRES RIGHT UP WITH ONE PUMP, IDLES UP WHEN COLD THEN IDLES DOWN WHEN IT WARMS UP JUST AS IT SHOULD. DRIVING THIS BRONCO THE MOTOR PULLS STRONG AND SMOOTH AT ALL TIMES WEATHER IT BE IN TOWN, BACK ROADS, OR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT DOES NOT START TO LOAD UP DURING LONG STOPS OR IDLES, DOES NOT SMOKE, HESITATE, KNOCK, TICK OR HAVE ANY EXHAUST LEAKS AND DELIVERS JUST THAT NICE DEEP V8 4 BARREL SOUND WHEN YOU PUT THAT 351 TO WORK. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY THROUGH ALL GEARS, ALWAYS DOWN SHIFTS AND SHIFTS UP WITH SMOOTH CONSISTENT SHIFTS. THE STEERING IS NICE AND TIGHT WITH A STEERING WHEEL THAT TURNS LEFT TO RIGHT SMOOTHLY WITH NO BINDING, PLAY, NOISE OR SLOP. THE TIRES HAVE LOTS OF TREAD LEFT AND ARE 33X9.5X15 BFG ALL TERRAINS WRAPPED AROUND THE ORIGINAL WHEELS THAT FILL THE WHEEL WELLS UP JUST RIGHT AND IT IS ALWAYS NICE TO SEE SOMEONE GO THROUGH THE EXTRA WORK AND EXPENSE TO FIND A 5TH MATCHING ORIGINAL WHEEL AND MOUNT IT ON A MATCHING TIRE. NOT ONLY DOES THIS LOOK BETTER THEN A CHEAP COVER, BUT IS ALSO NOW USABLE AND ALWAYS TO ME SHOWS THAT THEY HAD TRUE PRIDE IN OWNERSHIP. THIS BRONCO HAS AUTOMATIC HUBS AND MANUAL SHIFT TRANSFER-CASE 4WD, POWER STEERING AND POWER DISC BRAKES UP FRONT. THIS DRIVE-TRAIN IS ORIGINAL AND WILL SHOW SOME DIRT AND GREASE BELOW AND ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE MOTOR AS IT IS OVER 30 YEARS OLD AND SEEN USE. ALONG THE UNDERSIDE OF THIS TRUCK AND UNDER THE HOOD IS IN A STATE THAT SHOWS IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN THROUGHOUT IT'S LIFE, BUT NOT ABUSED, OVER WORKED AND HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER AND LOVED, YET HAS NOT BEEN COVERED IN RATTLE CAN PAINT OR ARMORAL SPRAY. IT HAS BEEN LEFT IN WHAT I CALL IT'S HONEST CONDITION, SHOWING USE OF THE YEARS, YET LOVED AND CARED AFTER.WE HAVE HAD THIS THIS TRUCK CHECKED OUT AND HAD A NEW RADIATOR INSTALLED, ALL NEW COOLANT, BELTS, OIL CHANGE, TIRE BALANCE, AIR FILTER AND THE BRAKES BLED AND INSPECTED. THE E BRAKE WORKS, BUT THE INSIDE ASSEMBLY IS A LITTLE LOOSE, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS A LITTLE SQUEAKY WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE PEDAL AND TO ME THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS HARDER THEN IT SHOULD AND IT MAY JUST BE BECAUSE I'M USED TO HOW THE 92-96 BRONCOS BRAKE. THIS IS A VERY DEPENDABLE, SMOOTH AND A FUN TO DRIVE CLASSIC SUV THAT IS READY FOR THE BEACH AND SOME SUMMER FUN!PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT ALL THE PICS AND VIDEOS AND COMPARE IT TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS AGE AND WHAT MOST TRUCKS GO THROUGH IN DAILY USE FOR 32 YEARS AND THINK OF WHERE YOU WERE IN 1986 AND WHAT ALL YOU HAVE DONE AND BEEN THROUGH TO TRULY APPRECIATE THE CONDITION AND QUALITY OF THIS TRUCK!! THIS 86 IS A HARD TO FIND TRUCK AND WILL GO TO HIGHEST BID GOOD LUCK AND THIS WILL GO TO HIGHEST BID!!!!The older the car, the harder it is to define the condition of the vehicle.Most of our vehicles are specialty vehicles or are 15+ years old, and usually trucks. Because of this, it is very difficult to describe each vehicle to everyone’s satisfaction. Based on the bidder'spersonal experience, some bidders will be overly pleased with my description and pictures, and others may feel that I fell short. I postthese auctions based on how I want to see auctions when I’m buying, keeping in mind what I look for, and I try to put your eye's to what I can see and touch. Please help me by asking all questions and letting me know if other pictures are wanted. If you do not see a pic or description of a item or a area on the truck please do not assume anything and ask me about the specifics your a needing or for more pics and i will post every question asked by members so all potential bidders can see. Every car is available for inspection and i personally drive each vehicle before listing it and If anything does not work properly I will let you know. Of course I amonly human and these are mechanical creatures and these are usedvehicles, so please keep this in mind when bidding
