The Appeal
Ford’s Bronco offered a go-anywhere, freedom-focussed sell to American buyers who lapped up this reliable and capable SUV in vast volumes from its launch in 1966. The Bronco II updated the original with more luxury and comfort and a wider range of engines.
This low mileage 1989 Bronco is an Eddie Bauer special edition and has the later, improved interior. It comes with desirable ASI certification and its CRS booklet and appears to be in very good condition. Economical with its LPG kit, it looks like a stylish way to make a family or friends getaway, wherever the road may lead.
