Details

This rare 1979 Ford Bronco with factory Coral paint and chromatic stripes has just completed an extensive 1,200-hour frame-off restoration with customization to include a Roush supercharged Coyote 5.0-liter engine to complete the project. The new Coral paint by PPG was meticulously sprayed, then clear-coated. It was carefully buffed before the factory chromatic stripes were installed, giving this Bronco its better-than showroom appeal. New exterior lighting, high-quality stainless trim and grille, new chrome handles, new chrome bumpers, new emblems and all-new glass finish the exterior. The rear window and tailgate mechanisms are restored to factory operating conditions, including turn-key window operation. The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission equipped with a custom-fabricated, hand-TIG-welded stainless-steel exhaust by RadFabs. Fuel is supplied by an Aeromotive Stealth fuel pump in a Boyd Welding aluminum gas tank. Power is transferred to the wheels through a rebuilt New Process 205 transfer case, new drivelines and rebuilt axles. This Bronco rides on 17-inch KMC wheels and 35-inch Nitto tires. Suspension includes a 4-inch lift kit with dual front Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks, single rear Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks and a Fox steering stabilizer. Stopping power is provided by a CPP hydroboost system and 4-wheel disc brakes with stainless-steel brake lines. The interior features all-new, all-black carpet, leather seats with cloth inserts and new retractable seatbelts. The roof features black suede inserts and custom LED backlighting. Dakota Digital gauges complete the dash in modern fashion, along with a tilt steering column and factory steering wheel. For comfort, a Vintage Air system was installed to control air conditioning and heat, while a RetroSound Bluetooth stereo gives out the music. The Bronco is connected by all-new wiring from Ron Francis Wiring to complete the vintage look and feel using modern technology.
