Ford Bronco 302 V8 1985

Allmän beskrivning : LOW OWNERSHIP DESERT TRUCK, 5.0 V8 FUELIE, AOD, ALL-STOCK, GR8 COLORS, TOUGH 4X4

America's most notorious 4x4 is also becoming a great collectable. This 1985 Ford Bronco 4x4 is now eligible for AACA shows and remains the pinnacle of full-sized Bronco fun. Very nicely preserved, this is the one to own if you've always admired the big Bronc.
Ford did gangbuster business in the late '80s with their upscale off-road machines, and not many full-sized off-roaders were more admired than the Bronco. While the most famous one was white, this handsome two-tone Bronco is elegant yet sporty and it's hard to believe that these went out of production more than two decades ago. I mean, this sucker's in incredible condition! It was repainted a few years ago, so it's showing a bit of age but nothing critical and it certainly speaks highly of the care it has received over the years. The chrome bumpers look great, the grille and headlights are excellent, and the tan removable roof adds just the right contrast to work with the center stripe of paint to give it a heavy-duty look. Go ahead, just try to find one this clean and without any questionable modifications; they just don't exist like this anymore!
The interior is another very pleasant surprise, offering cool plaid cloth buckets and lots of space for five. Ford insisted on upscale appointments in the top-of-the-line models, and the fabric chosen when it was reupholstered a while back is tasteful and durable, but pretty close to what it was wearing in 1985. Nice carpets are showing some age and wear but still feel plush, and as the most expensive of the Ford SUVs, this Bronco sports just about every feature in the book: A/C, cruise control, and a power rear window. A wide center console offers plenty of storage as well as a handy place to put your coffee and the dash is one of the more car-like features of this big truck. A full array of big, legible gauges are in front of the driver, with the climate controls and AM/FM/CD stereo waaaaay over there in the center of the dash. The nicely appointed back seat looks barely used and the cargo bay is positively massive, fully upholstered and with the spare mounted out back, you can take pretty much everything you own.
Ford's erstwhile 302 cubic inch V8 is a great choice to move all this sheetmetal, providing plenty of low-end grunt that never feels strained. Despite a vast aftermarket for the venerable 5.0, this one remains quite stock, from the long intake hoses from the remote air filter to the intake that was specifically designed to bolster the torque curve. The engine bay is as clean as the rest of the truck, and if it's ever seen anything rougher than a gravel driveway, I'd be surprised. With a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and a 2-speed transfer case, this truck is equally happy at highway speeds or crawling at barely a walking pace and the suspension is built for off-roading that would strand one of today's "cute utes." The exhaust system uses a custom Flowmaster muffler with twin outlets, but it's otherwise quite stock. Handsome polished aluminum wheels are in fantastic shape, wearing 32x11.50-15 BFGoodrich All-Terrain radials which are pretty pricey all by themselves.
If you grew up in the '80s, you know this is a cool truck, and you just won't find more full-sized go-anywhere transportation for less cash than this. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
