One Owner Blast from the Past Barn Find! Thank you for viewing this 1988 Bronco II XLT. As you enthusiasts will note; this is the last year of the original body style. This bronco is in PHENOMENAL original condition with the exception of an upgraded audio system; not a speck of rust! It has a stunning red/burgundy exterior with a red interior color which is truly understated in the photos; the truck presents even better in person. The headliner, door panels, dash, carpets and seats almost look as they did after rolling off of the Ford Motor Company assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky. The original female owner even ordered customized floor mats with her name inscribed; see pictures. I acquired the vehicle from its first owner whom had stored the vehicle in her garage for several years after acquiring a newer Ford Explorer. She was tired of leaving the Explorer on the driveway and decided one of them had to go; I guess you know the rest of the story. Since the truck had sat idle so long, I towed it home even though it seemed to run just fine; I did not want to risk tarnishing this jewel by moving it with old fluids. Once I got her home, I took on the following tasks to make sure she was road ready: · Removed and cleaned the fuel tank. · Performed and oil and filter change. · New Plugs, wires, cap and rotor · Refreshed the transmission fluid along with replacing the gasket and filter. · Replaced the belts and inspected the hoses After the aforementioned items were taken care of, along with removing a few bee hives from under the hood, I detailed the engine; then she was ready for the road test. She fired right up and the transmission engaged just fine. However, I noticed a hard shift in reverse so I changed the transmission modulator valve; that did the trick. My first road trip was a joy; old and young drivers could appreciate the care and preservation taken by the previous owner. I noticed as with most older model Ford and GM vehicles, there was some play in the steering. Knowing where to problem lie, I immediately replaced the steering box, now she drives straight and true. At current, I present one of the cleanest Bronco II models out there. All components and gauges function properly; and yes, ice cold air conditioning. The vehicle will require a few additional items for the stickler or collector such as the driver side valve cover gasket as there are small amounts of oil present. I have started the bid low and you will be surprised with the reserve. Good luck and thanks for your interest.
