1979 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT

The 2nd generation Bronco is a vintage SUV that stands out from the crowd due to its size and off-road capabilities. It's a highly recognizable vehicle that has only grown in popularity over time. This particular 1979 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT is a rare gem, featuring a unique Chamois/Orange/Russet multi-color stripe package from the factory. It was built in the Michigan truck plant and delivered to Mort Hall Ford in Houston Texas in May of 1979, as per the Deluxe Marti Report.

What sets this vehicle apart are the impressive factory options it came with, including skid plates, CB radio, voltage and oil pressure gauges, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, swing away spare tire, handling package, A/C, flip/fold rear seat, AM/FM stereo, privacy glass, visibility group, center console, protection group, super cooling radiator, slotted aluminum styled wheels, convenience group, increased fuel capacity, full-time four-wheel drive, and the Ranger XLT package. With only 348 builds featuring this paint and trim combination, this vehicle is a unique find.

We acquired the Bronco from its fourth owner in Connecticut, where the previous owner had restored the interior with new seats, door panels, carpet kit, visors, and dash. During our initial inspection, we replaced the rear window regulator and installed a new transmission case, torque converter, master kit, and flushed and filled the transmission fluid. Although the vehicle currently rides on older 33-inch tires, which may need replacement, it remains a great looking truck that can be further enhanced or enjoyed as is. Whether you choose to take it to car shows or off-road events, this Bronco is sure to turn heads and impress.
