Here’s one nicely restored 1979 Ford Bronco that’s still on sale

The revived Ford Bronco is so popular that Ford is unable to keep up with the demand. In the meantime, you may consider going for a 43-year-old original Bronco restored and modernized with a potent V8 under the hood.

The listing neglects to mention power output, but the Coyote-series crate engine normally has five liters of displacement and 466 PS (460 hp / 343 kW) at its disposal. For comparison, the original Bronco had 177 PS (175 hp / 130 kW) under its command.

As a Ranger XLT spec, the car comes with plenty of interior space. It is a five-seater with two buckets at the front row, a bench for three behind them, and a spacious trunk area in the back. A thorough restoration completed a couple of years ago left the car in museum-worthy condition with pristine-looking exterior and cabin.

Elsewhere, the restomod boasts Wilwood brakes, aftermarket wheels clad in all-terrain rubber, Fox dampers and a touch over 5,000 km (3,200 miles) on the odo post-restoration.

The same Bronco fetched $213,000 at an auction a year ago, but this time around, the bidding has only reached $84,000. Then again, it is still on sale with one day remaining on the clock.
