Please find our product details below:4x4 1985 Ford BroncoI purchased the Bronco in 1990 from O¢¿½¿½Rielly Chevrolet in Tucson, AZ. The original owners purchased it from Cholla Ford in Benson, AZ then traded it in for a four-door Chevy sedan, they were an elderly couple and I think the novelty wore off, as they grew older. It had 32150 miles on the speedometer and appeared to have never been ¢¿½¿½off road¢¿½¿½ due to the condition of the under carriage, it was in immaculate condition and still had some of the original manufacturer¢¿½¿½s stickers on several components.The primary driver was my ex-wife who drove it to and from work in Tucson. It had the original 31X10.50 tires on it when I bought it. I took it off road a couple of times the first few years we had it, mostly through Gun Sight Pass in the Santa Rita Mountains southeast of Tucson. It was the ex-wife¢¿½¿½s ¢¿½¿½baby¢¿½¿½ so ¢¿½¿½Arizona Pin Striping¢¿½¿½ was out of the question, I traveled roads that were 4x4 required but no brush could touch the sides. So over the years the condition has remained rather exceptional.In 1995 I purchased a Saturn sedan for the ex-wife and the Bronco became mine but I still was driving my older Ford pick-up. The Bronco was primarily used for camping and four wheeling only. I deployed to Bosnia in 1999 for almost a year so it sat in the carport for almost a year and not driven. I had no issues upon my return, it fired right up, I changed fluids, ECT, and it continued to be the ¢¿½¿½toy¢¿½¿½ and only used for camping and four wheeling. Shortly prior to the end of 1999, I was separated from my ex-wife and I was awarded the Bronco. Again it was still used as the camping truck due to the fact I used my old pick up as a daily driver. After 9/11 I was sent to Yuma, AZ for Airport Security and took the Bronco with me but it stayed at the motel mostly due me being issued a Dodge Durango by the government to drive. I returned to Tucson and again the Bronco became a ¢¿½¿½toy¢¿½¿½ and I drove my old truck as the daily driver. In 2003, I was deployed to Iraq and again the Bronco was parked in the carport, it sat for over a year without being driven but upon return it again fired right up without any issues, again, fluid changes etc were performed. I purchased 32X11.50 tires just prior to 2000 and those are still on the Bronco with about 50% tread wear.I was again deployed in 2006 for the AZ border mission and again the Bronco sat in the carport because the government issued me a big Chevy truck to drive. It sat in the carport until Dec 2008 when I came off orders and had to turn in the issued truck. I periodically fired it up from mid 2006 to the end of 2008 without any issues.Over the years it has had a few normal maintenance procedures and I will list those:Emission&ï¼039;s re-call in 1990 for newer component emplacementWater Pump replacementFront Wheel Bearing replacementFord front locking hubs replaced with WARN locking hubsCarburetor rebuiltFuel delivery systems replacement parts (two fuel pumps and fuel filters since I¢¿½¿½ve owned it)Then in Dec 2008 I went over it with a fine tooth comb and replaced the following components with new (not rebuilt) parts:Rear drive shaft (Custom built at Simmons, a 4x4 shop in Tucson.Hydraulic clutch cylinderPower Steering PumpBrake Master CylinderRear window motor (it died on it¢¿½¿½s last ¢¿½¿½rest¢¿½¿½)Fuel pumpThe windshield is cracked but does not impair driving capability.I put about $750 into it thinking I was going to use it as a daily driver.I purchased the Bronco for $7500 and am asking $3000. This is a ¢¿½¿½must see¢¿½¿½ truck. I have only put a little over 100, 000 miles in 18 years and it has provided many memories of fun in the desert. It will provide many more miles of fun and memories especially for someone who appreciates responsible four wheeling and our desert.I have recently purchased a new truck and own entirely to many vehicles now. I hate to let it go but insurance is really getting pricey with the amount of vehicles I own. I will attach some pictures for more detailed viewing. As you can see from the engine compartment, it is all original, though a little dusty. The battery is strong and recently passed emissions. This is a solid truck; it has never been abused and only driven within its limitation of a full sized bronco with a 4.9L engine and four-speed transmission.If desired, contact me to arrange for an in-person inspection.Thank you for taking the time to go through our business profile.
