1979 Ford Bronco

This 1979 Ford Bronco is a fully restored second-generation Bronco with documented celebrity ownership and a professionally built drivetrain designed for real usability. Previously owned by UFC Hall of Fame member and former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin, it has been treated to a comprehensive nut-and-bolt, frame-off rotisserie restoration and has accumulated only approximately 2,800 miles since completion. Much of its life was spent in Las Vegas, a desirable dry climate for a classic truck. Power comes from a correct-family 400ci Ford V8 built by Faults Machine Shop of Las Vegas and rated at 380 horsepower, paired with a C6 automatic transmission and FiTech electronic fuel injection for modern cold-start reliability and drivability. This is not a survivor or a lightly refreshed truck. It is a full build with serious investment, upgraded systems, and a story that makes it stand apart.
