We bet the new Bronco Sport got you thinking about the classics, right? That's why we love this 1985 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer 4x4. It's a true vintage machine with a well-preserved/presented style that gives you a cool two-tone, an overdrive transmission, and a comfy A/C interior. So you get to look cooler than the new car guys and still get to ride in style and comfort.
The maroon looks quite nice on this SUV. It has a sophisticated style and the right investments, but nothing too serious to keep you from enjoying this 4x4 to the fullest. After all, with the tall stance, handy roof rack, and wide towing mirrors, this one looks like a proper adventure machine. The Bronco IIs had plenty of style to go with their substance. You see it in the distinct alloys and wrap-up rear glass. And you can see it all so well because, despite its go-anywhere nature, this one looks like it has never been used as a rough-and-tumble off-roader. And the premium Eddie Bauer edition adds even more distinction. The tan lower section shows off the fender flares. And it kicks off a well-coordinated style with the pinstripe and rear tire cover also in tan.
The interior is part of what really makes this a classic that's easy to enjoy in the modern age. The velour bucket seats look so good that you can clearly see the Eddie Bauer graphics in the back. And the front ones have power back adjustments and fold-down armrests for true individual comfort. It all looks so well preserved that it almost feels like the low odometer is the true mileage (the history shows it's more likely 127k miles.) There are additional great stock features like cruise control, the AM/FM/cassette stereo, and cold-blowing air conditioning. Comfy rear seats and useful cargo space are part of this vintage package that's still useful and impressive in modern times.
The Bronco II has a reputation for being the right size to get the job done, and that also has to do with what's under the hood. This 2.8-liter Cologne V6 has quite a robust reputation. It has some nice torque for those times when you engage the 4x4 two-speed transfer case and need to get up a hill or pull a boat out of the water. But you don't need to be looking for extra jobs just to take advantage of the motor. It fires up eagerly like a vehicle ready for daily life. There are even easy driving features like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
Overall, this is an impressive premium Eddie Bauer 4x4 that will make people in much more expensive SUVs jealous of your cool vintage style. Call now!
