1988 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer 4x4

Description

This 1988 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer is the ideal mixture of a one-owner survivor with terrific paperwork and all-around 4x4 appeal. So as you check everything like the fuel-injected motor, overdrive transmission, and loaded A/C interior, you'll see a cool classic SUV in its best form.

The more that SUVs become popular, the more we look for cool classic examples to stick out from in the crowd. That's what makes this Bronco II so appealing. The reports show this is a one-owner classic where the low odometer is believed to reflect the full actual mileage (averaging about 2,100 miles annually.) So the body shows the clean lines of good respect. The Deep Shadow Blue shows all the right signs of being the factory application. A professional detail can unlock more of that great metallic element, but we also like the aged-in style it has right now that helps tell this Bronco's unique story. It's a premium Eddie Bauer edition, and so you get distinctive pieces like the pinstriping to match the lower tan. The excess of the 1980s didn't extend to chrome, so there is only tasteful brightwork in the grille, mirror-like bumpers, and the useful towing mirrors. Plus, the tall stance, roof rack, classic alloys, and the optional full-size spare on a swing-away mount all remind you of the go-anywhere nature of these Bronco IIs.

The included window sticker shows how this upper-level Eddie Bauer had a loaded interior right from the factory. The cloth seats have a unique outdoor pattern that has remained distinct on the front bucket seats. You have more great features, like a cup holder center console, power windows, power locks, rear defrost, a rear window wiper, rear anti-lock brakes, the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, and cold-blowing air conditioning. It really is a nice time capsule, right down to the details like the working dome light and retractable privacy screen for the rear cargo area.

These Bronco IIs have such a great off-road reputation because they combine a compact wheelbase with good ground clearance. The motor certainly looks the part of a well-respected survivor. This 1988 model came along after Ford upgraded the motor to a fuel-injected 2.9-liter V6. It's a torque-filled powerhouse, and you can take full advantage of the 4x4 drivetrain without ever leaving the driver's seat (the transfer case controls are push buttons on an overhead console.) While all of this sounds like your perfect off-road toy, this Bronco is also equipped for all kinds of journeys. Feel free to drive this one to work or the campsite with convenient features such as power steering, power brakes, and front discs. You even have great long-haul features cruise control and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive.

Not only does the sale come with the original window sticker, but also the owner's manual and warranty card. This is a great way to get a loaded, capable, and preserved classic SUV. Call now!
