1980–1986 Ford Bronco SUV

8 listings

Third Generation Ford Bronco for sale.

First major aerodynamic redesign with rectangular headlights and (1980-1986) the Twin Traction Beam front suspension that defined Ford 4x4s through the early 90s. The 1980-1982 cars used a 4.9L I6 / 5.0L V8 lineup; 1983-1986 added fuel injection. Reasonable entry point into vintage full-size 4x4 ownership; rust and frame condition matter most.
