Classic off-road vehicles and trucks from all sorts of American manufacturers are worth big money today. They’re worth significant amounts of money in particular when they are perfectly restored and look brand-new. This 1979 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT 4×4 available on eBay is probably cleaner than it was the day it rolled off the assembly line in Michigan.
The classic Bronco is brown and beige two-tone with the same colors in the interior. Power comes from a modified 351 cubic-inch V8 engine backed up by a three-speed automatic C6 transmission. One of the best parts about these older Broncos is that the hardtop on the rear half is removable. This example also has a row-down window, 15-inch polished aluminum wheels, 33×12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ tires, spare tire, chrome bumpers, rear hitch receiver, and perfectly polished trim all around.
1975 Bronco with a Coyote V8
This 1975 Ford Bronco Ranger is powered by a 5.0 L Coyote V8 from a 2014 Mustang GT. The motor’s 420 horsepower and 390 lb-ft is sent through a 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission and Dana 20 transfer case to a Dana 44 front axle and Ford 9-inch rear end with a Eaton Detroit Locker. Both contain 31-spline axles and 4.88 gears. The Bronco rides on a 2.5-inch suspension lift with Bilstein 7120 front shocks, Bilstein 5100 rear shocks, and Borgeson quick-ratio steering box. A set of Method Race NV305 17-inch wheels with Toyo 35-inch Open Country A/T tires hide front disc brakes with drilled/slotted rotors and 11-inch drum rear brakes.
