Flawless '78 Ford Bronco Has All the Right Stuff

Just Right

These days, prospective buyers of Big Broncos have plenty to choose from. But unfortunately, most of those offerings are typically in pretty rough shape. And if they aren't, well, you're going to pay a premium for low-mile survivors. But this killer '78 Bronco we spotted at 4-Wheel Classics is like the Goldilocks of the group - just right, in every way imaginable. 

Fair Weather Cruiser

First off, it's worth noting that this Bronco has been treated to a full, frame-off redo. But not with an eye toward winning any Concours awards, mind you. Rather, this Bronco build is all about having fun, preferably off-road or when the weather forecast is looking nice.

Keep it Soft

... Mostly because this one doesn't come with the typical removable rear top. The previous owner seemingly deemed the extra passenger space as unnecessary, which makes this ride all that more unique. The custom tonneau cover in its place is a nice touch, however.

Top Notch

Reportedly, this Bronco wasn't in too bad of shape, to begin with. Mostly because it lived most of its life in the dry climate of Arizona, which is kind to these often rusted-out SUVs. But that didn't stop the previous owner from making sure everything was finished in top notch quality.

Pack a Punch

This Bronco is by no means all show and no go. It packs a mighty 460 punch under the hood, which sports goodies like headers and dual exhaust, a Summit carb, Edelbrock intake, and upgraded ignition and cooling system.

All New Everything

Likewise, everything inside is new as well. That includes the carpet, dash, headliner, door panels, and a custom aftermarket stereo to crank up the tunes.

Meat of the Build

Next, you'll want to crawl underneath this bad boy to truly appreciate what it has going on there. Of course, you don't really have to crawl given how high up it sits. But there, you'll find custom driveshafts, rebuilt differentials, and a combination 6-inch suspension lift and a 2-inch body lift.

Highly Capable

The high-riding Bronco also features dual shocks in the front, an adjustable Trac bar, and all-new bushings everywhere. It all sits on Mickey Thompson wheels wrapped in 38-inch Super Swamper tires that'll take you just about anywhere you want to go.

Pure Perfection

There are truly no stones left unturned on this stunning Bronco. Everything has either been repainted, re-chromed, or powdercoated. The trim pieces were even replaced to ensure everything was as perfect as can be.

Almost Perfect

It's show quality inside and out, packs plenty of power, and has a tough suspension that can handle anything nature throws at it. What more could you possibly want? Well, except maybe the original top!
