1979 Bronco 4x4 factory 4 speed
Hard to find and desirable 1979 Bronco 4x4, with the very rare and sought after factory 4 speed. This Bronco is 99.9% RUSTFREE from the west coast. It is fully loaded and has most every option offered in 1979, yet is a "Custom" model. It has a strong 351, with an Edlebrock intake an 4 bbl carb. It has the high back reclining Buckets / console, factory roll bar, rare sliding side windows, power rear window, A/C, Sport Steering wheel, Tilt, PS, PDB, etc. It also has the factory quad front shocks. They really make the Bronco drive nice. I have receipts for over $3000 spent on it in 2012 (see pics below). It has new 33/12.5/15 tires ($974), rebuilt front suspension / Steering / brakes / driveline ($2100). It also has new nice sounding FlowMaster dual exhaust.
This Bronco is one of the most solid I have had, but it got mud packed into the left rear in front of the bumper and caused that rust hole. Other than that it has some surface rust on the rear wheel arch, but just surface, and I touched it up to protect the metal (see pics).
The interior is actually pretty nice also. The front seats sit nice, and the cloth inserts are nice. It just needs a couple new black vinyl panels where ones butt slides getting in and out. The dash pad is nice as is the very rare factory sport steering wheel.
Bottom line this is a neat rare Bronco. It is one of the best driving and most fun to drive Bronco's I have ever had. The seats feel perfect, and it is fun to shift through the gears.
