1978–1979 Ford Bronco SUV

5 listings

Second Generation Ford Bronco for sale.

The shortest Bronco generation — only 1978 and 1979. F-Series-based full-size SUV (jumped from compact to full-size between Early Bronco and this). Removable fiberglass roof. Often overlooked between the iconic Early Bronco and longer-running 80s body styles, but rising in collector value as Early Broncos move out of reach. Distinct round headlight grille separates it from the 1980+ cars.
