'90s Broncos just don't get much cleaner or cooler than this incredible, tastefully modified '96.
'90s Gem
It's no secret that old Broncos are red hot these days, thanks in part to Ford's resurrection of the model. And if you're a fan of the last-gen '90s Broncos, you're going to love this ultra-clean '96 we spotted over at Streetside Classics.

Pristine Original
Amazingly enough, this Bronco's pristine Portofino Blue and Silver Frost paint is original. And it's quite simply stunning, to say the least. Someone has obviously taken very good care of this beauty over its 23ish years of existence.

Perfect Stance
Further enhancing this gorgeous bucking Bronco is a lift of some (unspecified) sort, along with some attractive aluminum wheels and beefy tires. Now, it sports the perfect stance, in our humble opinion.

Quite the Looker
XLT trim ensures that there's also plenty of chrome and other goodies inside and out. Whether you leave the top on or pop it off, this Bronco is one heck of a looker, to say the least.

Fine Detailing
Pop the hood, and you'll find the familiar 351 V8, which is believed to be the original engine in this Bronco. The stock mill has been detailed quite nicely, which will make you think twice about taking it down a dusty trail. At least for now.

Very Sanitary
The interior is equally sanitary. Grey cloth covers bucket seats up front that sport lumbar support and fold-down arm rests, as well as the standard bench seat in the back.

Fully Optioned
The XLT packs pretty much every option available in 1996, including air conditioning, power windows, power locks, the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, and cruise control.

Safety First
And since this is a fairly modern classic, it also has things like a driver's side airbag and anti-lock brakes. But not all those modern electronic nannies that tend to annoy us, traditionalists.

Lots of Goodies
Other goodies include a push-button 4x4 system with auto-locking hubs, a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive for highway cruising, power steering, and front disc brakes.

Cool Classic
We still don't know what the new Bronco will be like, but we doubt it can match the inherent coolness of this '90s classic. But at least we can dream!
