This 1979 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT, with its shining black exterior and black interior, is a stunning example of classic off-road capability paired with modern upgrades. Benefiting from a frame-off restoration completed in 2015, this Bronco has only 1,500 miles since the build, ensuring its like-new condition while maintaining its rugged vintage appeal.
Under the hood, it's powered by a monstrous 532 V8 engine, paired with a C6 automatic transmission equipped with a shift kit for improved performance. The MSD ignition control system ensures reliable starts and strong performance, while the exhaust system, with open heads, delivers an aggressive, thunderous sound that matches the Bronco's bold looks. The 4.10 gearing, along with heavy-duty front and rear axles, makes it ideal for tackling tough trails or hauling through any terrain.
This Bronco sits high on 37-inch Pro Comp tires mounted on 17-inch Warn wheels, with all tires measuring 14/32 for plenty of remaining life. The braking system is solid, with front brake pads measuring 12/32 and rear brake shoes at 5/32, ensuring confident stopping power. A Smittybilt XRC 9500 winch mounted on the front provides added utility for recovery situations, while LED lights on the front bumper, wired to an auxiliary switch, offer enhanced visibility for nighttime adventures.
Inside, the cabin combines vintage style with modern comfort, featuring a modern "vintage" radio and an Equus oil temperature gauge for added functionality. The window tint adds a sleek touch while improving comfort on sunny days. With its frame-off restoration, powerful drivetrain, and off-road-ready features, this 1979 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT is a true classic built for enthusiasts who want timeless style and serious capability.
