Ford Bronco 351 M 1978
General description :
CLEAN & SOLID BRONCO, FACTORY COLORS, COLD R134 AC, 351 V8, PS, PB W/DISCS, NICE
This 1978 Ford Bronco combines classic V8 4x4 styling with nice investments like the bright paint and an A/C interior. That makes this the total package that's ready to run right now.
The second-generation Bronco is where Ford really turned it up a notch. Larger styling, larger engines, and just an overall larger presence. So when it debuted for 1978, it was an instant legend. This bolder Bronco idea was really taken to heart on this example. The original red paint was treated to a professional respray later in life. It's the perfect backdrop for the rugged black pieces like the Black Rock beadlock style wheels, swing-away rear tire, and black removable hardtop roof w/dark window tinting. But more than just a nice color package with modern appeal, you love this one for the classic look that comes from all the brightwork. The updated Ford F-Series front end shines brightly, and the complete side trim even has a black line for both protection and to really bring the whole package together. It's this kind of thoughtfulness that makes the this classic 4x4 quite striking from every angle.
The appeal of red and black continue on the inside. The door panels, carpeting, dash, and everything else expertly intertwines these two colors. And it all looks so good because they gave this all the right investments. In fact, just look at the freshly recovered seats. The rear bench is crisp and inviting. And up front, those buckets give this classic a fresh and everyday kind of appeal. That's especially true with the cup holder center condole and upgraded to an AM/FM/CD stereo. And while this one looks like no one ever removed the rear hardtop, we love these Broncos, because they provide that true convertible-like feeling. And if you ever do go open-air cruising, the modern R134a air conditioning will keep you comfortable.
While the previous generation Bronco stopped at Ford's 302 V8, this one has a period-correct 351 cubic-inch motor. And you can tell from the tidy presentation, newer belts, and crisp components that this has received the right care along the way. Even better is that this V8 inhales deeply through a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as headers feed the dual exhaust. A two-speed 4x4 transfer case, beefy axles, and Falken Wild Peak A/T tires mean this powerful classic can still take you deep into the wilderness. But it also has features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes make it a fine choice for in-town, too. And you can tell from the solid feeling on the road that this is a great anytime classic.
The second-generation Bronco was only available for a couple of years. So when you can find such a nice example that's been given all the right investments, and it's offered for an obtainable price, then you know you need to hurry on this deal. Call today!!!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
