1979 Ford Bronco Custom 4×4 – Factory 400 V8 – 4-Speed Manual – 1-Owner – Highly Original – Removable Hardtop – Rare Factory A/C – 55K Miles

Exterior Condition:
This 1979 Ford Bronco Custom Edition is a true survivor – a highly original, factory-optioned example presented in its original two-tone Midnight Blue Metallic and Wimbledon White color scheme. The paint retains excellent depth and shine, showing only minor age-appropriate wear.

Trim, badging, and glass are clean and intact, with polished vintage slot mag alloy wheels wrapped in new BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires for a period-correct stance. Features include dual front shocks, steering stabilizers, locking hubs, factory dual exhaust, and the signature removable hardtop, transforming this rugged SUV into an open-air classic on demand.

No signs of rust or body damage. Originality, stance, and preservation make this an exceptional example for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Interior Condition:
Inside, this Bronco features an incredibly well-preserved factory bucket seat interior, finished in black vinyl with blue accent stitching. Includes a center console, removable rear bench seat, and the desirable wood grain trim package. Upholstery, dash, and door panels show very well with minimal wear.

Loaded with options, this truck features factory air conditioning (currently non-functional), a power rear window, and an upgraded RetroSound radio with modern media compatibility. All gauges, switches, and lighting function as expected. The cabin presents clean, stock, and ready for both weekend cruising or trail use.

Mechanical & Powertrain:
Equipped with the factory original 400ci V8 — one of the most sought-after big-block configurations offered in the full-size Bronco lineup. This truck is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission, 3-speed transfer case, and true 4-wheel drive with locking hubs.

Mechanically sorted and well-maintained, this Bronco starts easily, pulls strong, and handles as a true vintage 4×4 should. The power steering, power brakes, and factory front disc brakes ensure reliable, confident control on- or off-road. Dual exhaust and the original drivetrain components enhance the period driving experience.

Chassis, Undercarriage & Suspension:
Frame and undercarriage are rust-free and clean. Stabilizer shocks, factory suspension, and steering components are solid and free of leaks. Vintage polished alloy wheels paired with fresh all-terrain tires complete the original look while maintaining trail-ready capability.

Mileage & Ownership History:
Reported 55,000 original miles, showing one long-term ownership since new. Always well cared for and stored properly. Clean and clear title in hand. One of the best-kept unrestored Broncos of its era still equipped with its original drivetrain and hard-to-find factory options.

Investment Note:
With rising demand for clean, unmolested second-gen Broncos, this factory 400 V8 / 4-speed manual truck checks every box — loaded, rare, highly original, and rust-free. The convertible top and vintage off-road equipment make it a perfect mix of collector-grade condition and weekend usability. An excellent investment-grade SUV in a market with limited supply of authentic survivors.
