1984 Ford Bronco 4x4 Station Wagon

Description

The Ford Bronco 4WD was assembled by Ford Australia from 1981 to 1987 and was received enthusiastically by Ford enthusiasts, many of whom could remember a Mainline utility or a Ranch Wagon in their family history: never forget it was Ford Australia’s engineer Lew Bandt who invented the coupe utility! The Bronco was offered with either the 4.1-litre six-cylinder engine or the Cleveland 5.8-litre V8. There was the standard Custom variant, priced from $15,402, and the XLT. An extensive list of options included air-conditioning and a laminated windscreen. The top-spec XLT brought attractive two-toning, cloth trim, front bumper overriders, bodyside protection mouldings, rear mudflaps, those trademark styled white wheels, full instrumentation and imitation wood panelling in the cabin. Fully kitted out, a Bronco XLT V8 auto could hit $20K when a base Ford Falcon cost $8745. While the Bronco was promoted by Ford Australia as the ultimate go-anywhere machine, it also proved immensely popular with buyers who wanted to tow a big van or boat, a role for which no other vehicle on the market could rival it in the 1980s.
