1979 Ford Bronco Black Ranger XLT Free Wheeling 400ci

This 1979 Ford Bronco U-150 4x4 Wagon is documented by a Deluxe Marti Report and was built at Ford's Michigan Truck facility on June 15, 1979 - six days ahead of schedule. Finished in Raven Black with a black fiberglass roof, Chromatic tape stripes and a contrasting red cloth-and-vinyl captain's-chair interior, it was powered by the 400-cubic-inch V8 paired with the desirable Warner 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.50 conventional rear axle. This retail-order Bronco was sold new through Waterville Auto Company in Waterville, Washington. Marti statistics show it was one of 1,670 produced with this paint-and-trim combination and one of only 2,371 equipped with this engine-and-transmission combination. Its factory equipment includes the sought-after Free Wheeling and Ranger XLT packages, air conditioning, handling package, swing-away spare-tire carrier, flip-and-fold rear bench seat, privacy glass and a center console. Additional features include a factory CB radio, AM/FM stereo, ammeter and oil-pressure gauges, mud-and-snow tires, reduced-noise exhaust, heavy-duty 68-amp battery, increased-capacity fuel tank, Visibility and Convenience groups, and dual electric horns. With its dramatic black-and-red color combination, Free Wheeling graphics, 400 V8 and uncommon 4-speed manual transmission, this well-documented 1979 Bronco represents an especially distinctive and desirable example of Ford's second-generation full-size sport-utility vehicle.
