The 1978 Ford Bronco Custom presented here embodies the rugged spirit and timeless charm that made Ford's early SUVs legendary. Benefiting from a recent restoration to factory specifications, this Florida-based 4x4 stands out as a beautifully refreshed example of the first year of the second-generation Broncolarger, stronger, and more refined while still delivering the classic truck feel enthusiasts love. Its bold yellow exterior captures the vibrant personality of the era, while its restored bodywork and fresh trim give it a crisp, showroom-ready presence.
Under the hood, this Bronco packs the desirable 351ci Cleveland V8, known for its strong torque and confident power delivery. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, it offers an engaging driving experience rarely seen in modern SUVs, allowing the driver to fully enjoy the engine's robust character. The factory 4x4 system further enhances its versatility, making it equally at home cruising the beach, tackling trails, or running around town. The mechanical restoration helps ensure this Bronco performs as good as it looks.
Inside, the cabin has been fully renewed with a new tan interior that pairs perfectly with the bright exterior. The restoration focused on authenticity, preserving the clean, functional design that made these trucks appealing, while adding thoughtful modern upgrades where they matter most. A Bluetooth stereo with upgraded speakers blends discreetly into the cabin, bringing modern convenience without compromising its vintage feel. The result is a space that feels both nostalgic and comfortable for everyday use.
Driving ease is further enhanced by power steering and power brakesfeatures that elevate the Bronco's usability and make it far more approachable than many classic trucks of the era. Even more impressive is the presence of functional factory air conditioning, a rare and desirable feature that greatly improves comfort, especially for warm-weather climates like Florida. These amenities, combined with the fresh restoration, make this Bronco a practical and enjoyable classic.
With 87k miles and a rebuilt title, this 1978 Ford Bronco Custom represents a well-restored, thoughtfully updated, and mechanically sound example of an American icon. It offers the perfect blend of vintage style, modern convenience, and go-anywhere capability. Whether admired at local shows, driven on weekend adventures, or enjoyed as a nostalgic daily cruiser, this Bronco delivers the character and charm that have kept these trucks in high demand for decades.

Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
