Ford Bronco XLT 4X4 5.0 Liter V8 1988
General description :
Description
Loaded, capable, and absolutely cool, this two-owner 1988 Ford Bronco XLT is the full-size SUV that has everything you want, including fuel-injected V8 power, an overdrive transmission, and a custom look of distinction.
The factory-correct Colonial White not only looks like the original application, but also it makes for an ideal backdrop for the custom burgundy stipe package. The artful design of the triple-stripe on the hood and the wedge-shaped ones running the sides make for the distinct package that came on the best custom trucks back in the day. Plus, the details are nice, like the burgundy strip surrounding the rear window and the full-length running boards. So you know this one was the showpiece of the car lot... if it ever even stayed long enough at the dealer before being grabbed by a caring owner. In fact, this is a two-owner machine, and so it has been under the same watchful eye for over three decades. That's why this premium Bronco XLT remains crisp, clean, and complete.
Inside, Ford's upscale XLT interior features a comfortable red velour on the seats. In fact, you have a high-back bucket that's long haul comfortable thanks to the fold-down armrest. And the wide center console offers plenty of storage as well as a handy place to put your coffee. You have plenty more great features like power windows (including the rear one,) power locks, the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, and provisions for R134a air conditioning. The nicely appointed back seat means plenty of space for friends and family, and the huge cargo area behind it provides a place for everyone's gear. So this was built for adventures. That's why you have a fold-down tailgate that's ideal for sitting on while roasting campsite marshmallows. And don't forget that the rear roof section does remove if you want to get closer to nature (although this example looks like no one has tried that yet.)
Under the hood is a 5.0-liter V8. This is an awesome powerhouse for Fords that only gets better on a more modern classic like this because it has the advantage of fuel-injection. So you get the hardy construction you love, and it has a more consistent delivery that's great for everyday life. This was the era that the F-150s and Broncos really solidified their reputation as a great truck for all uses. That's because you also have handy features like a four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive and provisions for four-wheel drive. Plus, with power steering, power brakes with discs up front, and cruise control, it's quite a comfortable cruiser for anytime use.
Complete with owner's manual, this Bronco has passed into full 30-year-old classic status, and now it's time for its third owner. Are you the one to write its next chapter? 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.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
