Description of 1978 Ford Bronco Red

1978 FORD BRONCO XLT in Extremely NICE Condition. Dam near "excellent" when considering the age of this vechicle. If you love the growling sound that 400 HP of bad ass engine makes, this proudly built Bronco is just waiting for you. Sitting on 9" Skyjacker lift kit with nearly new 38.5" Swampers on American Racing 15"x10"Aluminum Rims.
Motor and Drivetrain as follows:

It was a few years back, but last time it was Dyno Tuned the readings were just above 400 HP.
Exhaust: Hedman Headers with HPC coating, 3" mandrel bent exhaust with Flowmaster super 40's, all ceramic coated
Drivetrain:C6 race built tranny, 2400 stall, Hi energy 1-2 band, Bushing kit, Thrust washers, 5 clutch direct drum with Torrington bearings, High performance clutches, Trans King low gear set with 6 pin steel front plantaries and 4 pin rear planetary, 2.72 1st, 1.54 2nd, Trans King reverse pattern manual valvebody with billet servo, 2 external Perma Cool tranny coolers.

Front Axle:Dana 44 in front with a 4.56 gears, trac lok limited slip. *I have the 4.88 gears for the front axle to match the back, they are not installed.Body:Body is in very solid shape. You do not find many 1978 Broncos looking as clean and sexy as this one. The driver side door has two tiny nickle size dents from when wind blew door back. See photo. The paint job was redone in 2006. Recently installed antirattler kits and weatherstripping in the driver and passenger doors for the windows. Exterior Chrome Mirrors are 2 yrs old. Cowl badges are in brand new condition. There is no heat or AC as the prior owner mounted ignition box on the firewall. I live in California so it has not been an issue. They can easily be added back if you want to choose to do so. No Radio, but with this loud powerful engine growling down the road, who'd want to listen to the radio :) The rear power access window works fine by either the dash switch or key switch in gate.
Mileage:Driven under this Bronco a little under 1k miles over last 2 years. Because I own four vechicles, this was one of my "to the gym or beach" weekend fun rides. This Bronco was completely rebuilt in 2006. Odometer reads 113,439 miles. There has only been approximately 12k miles put on the newly rebuilt engine from 2006 until present date. I've own her for about 2 years and bought her with odometer reading 112,657 miles. I've simply been to busy to enjoy her, but when I do drive her she puts a smile on your face ear to ear.
