            Now that these last generation Bronco's are turning 20 years old, it's hard to find nice one's. The quality of mine is extremely good. All body panels have correct fitment, gaps and alignment. Doors open and close easily. The body is 100% rust-free and the paint holds a high shine. Any imperfection is very minor. There are no dents and all chrome and exterior moldings and trim are excellent. Both bumpers still have mirror-like reflections. Glass is in nice shape as well but the door windows and tailgate window have vertical blemishes from going up and down. As a lover of these Bronco's I certainly have my preferences. I generally prefer the two-tone paint scheme, especially when it's a desirable color combination. The dark blue and white is one of my favorites. I took every picture here at home. I get countless compliments every time I take the Bronco out. People just aren't used to seeing them in this condition now days. 

            View from my front porch.        

            She is very straight as you look down the sides. No waviness or washboard effect.

            That's me within the reflection of the door.

            Point of correction- There is one very small dent that is only visible from the right angle. I was able to capture this flaw by holding the camera in a way that catches the reflection just right. I've seen this before. The minor indentation is caused by putting a knee there while cleaning the top of the windshield or replacing the wiper blades. It is only noticeable if pointed out. 

            Another one of my preferences is the manual hubs which mine has. The Goodyear Wrangler tires have nice tread remaining and the factory alloy wheels are in excellent shape. The tires are 31-10.50-15

            The top was originally white but the previous owner wanted it to match the blue upper body color. From an appearance standpoint, I agree and it looks great and makes her a one-of-a-kind. The paint on the very top shows evidence of this being done. I don't think he was worried about what people can see from the sky, otherwise, he did a nice job.

            The swing-away spare tire carrier is mint.

            See, the small indentation I mentioned earlier is only visible from just the right angle. Can't see it here and I'm standing in the same place.        

            That is my knee in the reflection in the lower right corner. 

            I couldn't get her to take a bad picture.

            That is not a flaw in the door, just a reflection of something on the ground. Oh, it's my shoe! I stared at this pic for 5 minutes to figure this out.

                  The power rear window works with the key and dash switch. The rubber window sweep is aged and should be replaced. Easy and inexpensive but I forgot all about it until I snapped this photo.

            All of the interior is excellent.

            Tailgate is in excellent shape. 

            I have new tailgate support cables as well. I will install them before she goes to her next owner. 

            The cargo area is spotless.

            The interior is amazing. The following inside photo's will speak for themselves. It has been kept extremely clean all of it's life.        

            Every switch and knob operates correctly. Updated sound system. All lights, gauges, power options (windows, locks, mirrors, etc) heater/AC, wipers and even the horn function properly. Even the cruise control is accurate.

            The steering wheel is in good condition but I like the feel of the cover.

            All original manuals and brochures are still in the glove box.

            All seats are in wonderful condition and show VERY little wear.

            Headliner is perfect front to back.

            The driver seat looks like new! It showed slight wear when I originally bought it but based on the quality of this Bronco, I had the lower portion professionally redone with factory material that had to be special ordered. Looks like the guys at the factory did it. The interior really is outstanding. 

            The 5.8 liter 351 engine runs beautifully. Always starts immediately and has impressive power. No ticks, misses, hesitations or noises of any kind. Always well maintained. The automatic transmission with overdrive shifts flawlessly as well. The brakes and suspension feel tight and sound. They have required no attention during my ownership. Mechanically, one of the strongest I've had. Runs and drives very well with one finger on the steering wheel as you go down the road at any speed.

            The engine compartment is extremely clean.

            The water pump was showing signs of potential failure during the most recent inspection so it was replaced.

            The undersides are what we hope to find! No undercoating and NEVER exposed to a salted road. A little time with a pressure washer and mild solvent would be a rewarding task with amazing results. I always feel sorry for you guys in the Mid-West and back East. You don't have undersides like this. 

            Please note- I keep everything in my collection parked in my garage. There are typical oil drips on my floor. I'm assuming the rear main seal is the culprit which is common on Ford small block engines. Nothing life-threatening but wanted to mention it since it's my only real complaint.

            Good luck finding one this nice underneath. Even here in Oregon with our mild climate I rarely see them with this undercarriage. She was purchased new in California and then came here to the Pacific Northwest. Washington State first and then Oregon. All great locations for a vehicle.
