Ford Bronco 351 V8 1978
General description :
Description
A custom color combo, nice upgrades, V8 power, 4x4 prowess, and all around rarity make sure that you (and everyone else) really take note of this 1978 Ford Bronco.
We're all on the lookout for a well-done second-gen Bronco. That's because these have the instant distinction of only being available for two short model years. But That's not what first got you attracted to this one. The bold two-tone look is what really instantly attracts eyeballs. The white upper section distinctly contrasts the deep blue lower part, and these have a proper dividing line provided by this Ranger-level premium full-length trim. You'll love taking this look outdoors, and it's not just for the high-gloss finish. The blue is actually a Chamaeleon color that shifts to a green tint with the light. And because people will be spending extra time looking at the body, even the details are nice. That's why you have features including mirror-like chrome bumpers, a new grille, a white hardtop to match the paint, and side steps to go with the lifted 4x4 stance.
While you can take the white roof off to make this a convertible 4x4, it looks like the restored interior has never spent the day in nature. This crisp black presentation includes new carpeting, new front headliner, and new seat upholstery with nicely bolstered front buckets that look like they were borrowed from a latter Bronco. The upgraded sports steering wheel and auxiliary gauge trio are great for driving. Plus, the stereo is now an AM/FM/CD unit with Bluetooth and a USB input. So it's easy to spend all day enjoying your favorite driving music.
While the previous generation Bronco stopped at Ford's 302 cubic-inch V8, the second-gen means proper 351 V8 power. This has quite stock look, but the details like the newer belts, wires, and hoses all signal proper maintenance over the years. And the way this V8 fires up and runs strong reaffirms the quality care feeling. A two-speed 4x4 transfer case, beefy axles, newer off-road shocks & springs, and BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires mean this powerful classic can still take you deep into the wilderness. But it also has features like a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission and a rear sway bar that make it ready to enjoy the pavement, too. Plus, power steering and power front disc brakes are welcomed wherever the journey takes you.
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 fresh investments, 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.
