Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1979 Ford Bronco, a beautifully restored example of one of Ford's most iconic and rugged SUVs, blending classic styling with thoughtfully selected modern upgrades. This Bronco underwent an extensive restoration that began in 2019 and was completed in 2024, the same year it received its striking two-tone repaint in Pacific Green and Oxford White. As referenced in the photos, this color combination seamlessly accentuates the Bronco's bold, boxy lines and timeless off-road presence.
Under the hood sits a rebuilt 351 CID V8, paired with a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the raw, mechanical driving experience that made these Broncos legendary. A Sniper electronic fuel injection system has been added, offering major benefits over a traditional carburetor, including improved cold starts, smoother throttle response, better drivability, and increased reliability in varying driving conditions, all while maintaining the classic V8 character.
This Bronco has been upgraded to be both capable and comfortable. Vintage Air air conditioning provides modern climate control, while power steering and power brakes make it far more enjoyable to drive on today's roads. An aluminum radiator has been installed to enhance cooling efficiency, along with a serpentine belt system for improved reliability and reduced maintenance. During the restoration, the master cylinder and power steering pump were also replaced, reflecting the thorough mechanical attention given to this build.
The interior was fully refreshed during the restoration, featuring a redone vinyl interior complemented by new carpet, creating a clean and inviting cabin that stays true to the Bronco's vintage roots. A Bluetooth-capable radio adds modern convenience without detracting from the classic look. Alloy wheels wrapped in radial tires complete the package, giving this Bronco a confident stance that matches its legendary capability.
This 1979 Ford Bronco represents an excellent opportunity to own a classic SUV that has been restored with care and upgraded where it matters most. From its eye-catching Pacific Green and Oxford White two-tone finish to its rebuilt drivetrain and modern enhancements, this Bronco is ready to be enjoyed as both a collectible classic and a highly drivable vintage 4x4.
