BODY-THIS IS A DRY NORTHWEST RUST FREE TRUCK AND IN MY OPINION IS A STRONG 8+ OUT OF 10 IN COMPARISON TO OTHER NEARLY 30 YEAR OLD ORIGINAL VEHICLES YOU SEE ON THE ROAD TODAY. THE ORIGINAL 1989 PAINT SHOWS EXTREMELY WELL FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH AN INCREDIBLE HIGH SHINE AND GLOSSY FINISH THAT STILL HAS THAT SMOOTH WET LOOK. IT IS EXTREMELY REFLECTIVE AND DEEP THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE VIDEOS AND PICS. EVEN THE PAINT UNDER THE HOOD, ALONG FIRE WALL, DOOR JAMBS AND ON INNER TAILGATE JAMBS IS NICE AND SHINY LIKE YOU SEE ON THE OUTSIDE. THIS BRONCO IS IN 100% ALL ORIGINAL PAINT ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL PAINTED TOP BODY LINE PINSTRIPE AND THE ORIGINAL ONE PIECE TWO COLOR PINSTRIPE THAT SEPARATES THE TWO COLORS AT THE BOTTOM. THESE ARE THE TWO ITEMS THAT WILL ALWAYS TELL IF A TRUCK HAS HAD PAINT WORK OR BEEN REPAINTED AS MOST OF THE TIME THE TOP PAINTED PINSTRIPE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A DECAL STYLE ON A COMPLETE REPAINT AND ON COLLISION WORK IT WILL LOOK NEWER OR NOT MATCH AND THE LOWER ONE PIECE STRIPE HASN'T BEEN AVAILABLE BY FORD FOR DECADES AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET CLOSE TO REPLICATING THE TWO COLOR STRIPE IS TO HAVE TWO SEPARATE PINSTRIPE DECALS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. THE TOP HAS NEVER BEEN OFF AND STILL IS IN A BRIGHT TAN FACTORY FINISH AND NOT SUN DYED LIKE YOU OFTEN SEE. THIS BRONCO IS IN FAR BETTER THAN AVERAGE 1989 CONDITION AND HAS VERY LITTLE IMPERFECTIONS ON THE ENTIRE BODY. FOR ITS AGE YOU WOULD TYPICALLY EXPECT A LOT OF CHIPS AND ROAD DAMAGE, BUT IT HAS VERY LITTLE ON THE FRONT OF HO AND ON THE FRONT VALANCE ABOVE THE BUMPER. EVEN IN THE REAR WHEEL WELLS IT IS STILL NICE AND CLEAN RED PAINT FREE OF CHEAP UNDER COATING, RATTLE CAN PAINT, ROAD GRIME OR DIRT ALONG WITH THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BODY. THIS CLASSIC FORD COMES FULLY LOADED WITH DELUXE EDDIE BAUER AND XLT TRIM PKG ALL WRAPPED IN THIS HARD TO FIND ICONIC FACTORY TWO TONE COLOR OPTIONS. IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT STAND OUT ON THIS BRONCO LIKE ALL THE CHROME IS BRIGHT WITH A CLEAR AND CRISP REFLECTION, EVEN THE CHROME ON THE MIRRORS ARE IN NICE SHAPE AND USUALLY FLAKE OR GET SURFACE RUST EASILY IF NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR, THE EDDIE BAUER FENDER EMBLEMS ARE GLOSSY, SMOOTH AND HAVE CRISP CLEAR COLOR, THE ORIGINAL TWO RED PAINTED STRIPES ON THE BEAUTY RINGS ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND ARE USUALLY WORN OFF, OF THE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH NO FADING OR CONDENSATION INSIDE, THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS AND FRONT CORNER LIGHTS ARE STILL GLOSSY AND SMOOTH PLASTIC WITH PERFECT COLOR THAT ARE USUALLY ALWAYS FADED OR AT LEAST DON'T STILL HAVE THAT NEW GLOSSY LOOK, THE FIBERGLASS REMOVABLE TOP HAS NO DAMAGE AND EXCELLENT FACTORY COLOR, THE REAR SPARE TIRE LATCH THAT IS BOLTED TO THE TAIL GATE IS STILL HAS THE NICE BRIGHT ANODIZED LOOK ALONG WITH THE TAIL GATE LATCH AND CABLES AND EVEN THE FRONT CUTOUTS IN THE GRILLE HAVE NICE COLOR. THE ROOF RAIN GUTTERS ARE CLEAN WITH FACTORY SEAL AND GLOSSY PAINT ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE ROOF, BUT HAVE JUST A LITTLE SURFACE RUST ON THE DRIVER SIDE NEAR THE REAR TOP MEETING POINT. THE REAR TAILGATE OPENS AND CLOSES NICE AND SMOOTH WITH A REAR WINDOW THAT WORKS FROM BOTH SWITCHES, BOTH DOORS SHUT LIKE A VAULT WITH NO SAGGING DOOR HINGE ISSUES WITH NICE EVEN FACTORY BODY GAPS AROUND THE WHOLE TRUCK. REALLY THE ONLY COUPLE OF IMPERFECTIONS ARE SOME TYPICAL SMALL STONE CHIPS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PEN TIP THAT YOU WILL SEE IF YOU GET REALLY CLOSE, BUT FAR LESS THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT AND ARE MAINLY LOCATED ON THE FRONT VALANCE, ON THE BOTTOM TAN AREAS AFTER THE TIRES, ALONG THE FRONT OF HOOD AND A COUPLE ON THE TOPSIDE OF HOOD. THERE IS A FEW SMALL AREAS ON THE LOWER PIN-STRIPING THAT IS SLIGHTLY CHIPPED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE UPPER FACTORY ORIGINAL PAINTED PIN-STRIPING HAS A COUPLE SMALL AREAS ON THE DRIVER REAR QUARTER PANEL NEAR THE TAIL LIGHT THAT HAS CHIPPED OFF. BOTH DOORS HAVE A COUPLE ENTRY DOOR EDGE CHIPS AND SMALL HAIRLINE SURFACE SCRATCHES NEAR THE DOOR HANDLE AND KEY AREA. THERE IS TWO SMALL AREAS ON THE DRIVER FENDER NEAR THE VERY TOP AND NEAR THE TOP STRIPE THAT LOOK LIKE A SPOT OF OLD TREE SAP, THERE IS A SCRATCH ON THE DRIVER REAR QUARTER PANEL LOCATED BETWEEN THE DOOR GAP AND REAR WHEEL OPENING THAT IS ABOUT S2 1/2 INCHES LONG. THE TAILGATE HAS SOME DRYING AND AGE CRACKS IN THE OUTER RUBBER SEAL AGAINST THE GLASS, SOME TYPICAL SMALL LOADING CHIPS AND SCRATCHES AT THE TOP, SMALL DING TOP CENTER ALONG WITH IN AT CENTER AREA OF THE ALUMINUM TRIM PANEL AND TWO TINY BUBBLES RIGHT BEHIND THE LOWER PINSTRIPE IN THE BOTTOM CENTER OF TAILGATE. THE CENTER PAINTED AREA AND BLACK PAD AROUND THE BALL HITCH ON THE REAR BUMPER IS A LITTLE SCUFFED UP AND THE BLACK MOLDING ON THE DRIVER CORNER OF THE FRONT BUMPER HAS A SCUFF FROM A SMALL PARKING LOT INCIDENT. THE LAST AND WORST AREA OF WEAR IS BEFORE THE BRONCO WENT TO THE MECHANIC FOR ALL THE UPDATED MAINTENANCE IN 2015 THE OWNER PULLED THE BATTERY OUT AND GOT SOME BATTERY ACID ON THE PAINT AND THEY QUICKLY WASHED IT OFF, BUT IT MADE MARKS IN THE PAINT ON THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER FENDER DOWN TO THE EMBLEM, ON THE FRONT VALANCE NEAR THE GRILLE AND A COUPLE TINY SPOTS FROM THEIR FINGERS WHEN THEY WERE IN A PANIC AND TOUCHED THE PAINT OF THE DRIVER DOOR NEAR THE HANDLE. OVERALL THIS BRONCO HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR AND VERY WELL PRESERVED WITH A GREAT EXTERIOR ORIGINAL SINGLE STAGE PAINT AND TRIM FINISH AND ALL OF THESE ARE VERY MINOR AND FAR LESS THAN EXPECTED ESPECIALLY ON A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE AND CAN BE SEEN IN THE WALK AROUND VIDEO + PICS AT THE VERY BOTTOM. FINDING ANOTHER LOW MILE, LOW OWNERSHIP ALL ORIGINAL BRIGHT RED EDDIE BAUER BRONCO AS NICE OR NICER THEN THIS WOULD BE PROBABLY A LONG AND TOUGH WAIT.
INTERIOR-THE INSIDE OF THIS BRONCO MATCHES THE OUTSIDE IN QUALITY AND CONDITION AND IS REALLY AS CLOSE TO A FACTORY FRESH AND PERFECT INTERIOR AS YOU COULD FIND! THIS BRONCO IS A SMOKE AND PET FREE TRUCK IT'S WHOLE LIFE AND FREE OF ANY LEAKS OR ODOR AND BESIDES THE UPDATED CD PLAYER AND 6X9 SPEAKERS IT IS ALL 1989 ORIGINAL. THIS TRUCK HAS A VERY CLEAN INTERIOR WITH MINIMAL SIGNS OF AGE AND WEAR THAT IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE UPGRADED CD STEREO. THERE IS NO SUN FADIN, HOLES OR CRACKS ON ANY OF THE DOOR PANELS, DASH, PLASTIC TRIM, SEATS OR REAR SIDE PANELS. THIS BRONCO HAS A PERFECT DASH WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR GAUGES, BRIGHT ORIGINAL TAN FINISH WITH NO SCRATCHES, SCUFFS OR HOLES AND THE EDDIE BAUER EMBLEM AND WOOD TRIM IS LIKE NEW WITH A NICE FACTORY FRESH FINISH. THE DOOR PANELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION WITH NO MISSING SCREWS, LOOSE AREAS, CRACKS OR FADING AND OUT OF THE TWO THE ONLY IMPERFECTION IS A SMALL MARK IN THE THE CENTER CLOTH AREA OF THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE HEADLINER HAS NO SAG OR HOLES ALONG WITH THE SUN VISORS THAT STAY UP IN IN ANY POSITION MOVED TO AND THE TOP HAS NEVER BEEN OFF, HAS NO LEAKS, HAS ALL ITS SIDE AND TOP TRIM PIECES INTACT AND DAMAGE FREE. ALL THE SEATS ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH NO FADING, HOLES, STAINS, CUTS OR LOOSE MATERIAL. THE FRONT SEATS FOLDING ARM RESTS ARE FREE OF ANY DAMAGE, WEAR AND STAY UP OR DOWN JUST AS THEY SHOULD. THE REAR SEAT FOLDS UP OR CAN FULLY REMOVED QUICKLY WITH TWO PINS FOR MORE CARGO ROOM. THE REAR SIDE CARGO PANELS AMAZINGLY HAVE NO SCUFFS, SCRATCHES OR DAMAGE. THE CARPETS ARE IN AMAZING SHAPE WITH NO SUN FADING FLAT WORN AREAS OR STAINS AND STILL HAVE EXCELLENT FACTORY COLOR. THE CARPETS STILL HAVE THAT NICE TIGHTLY WOVEN FEEL AND LOOK AND THE ONLY AREAS OF IMPERFECTIONS IS IN THE VERY BACK CARGO AREA TOWARD THE TAILGATE THERE IS A COUPLE SMALL AREAS THEY GOT BLEACHED TO A LIGHTER SHADE. FRONT DOOR WING WINDOWS ARE TIGHT AND LOCK AS THEY SHOULD, THE DOORS SHUT LIKE NEW WITH NO SAG OR HINGE ISSUE AND INSIDE THE DOOR JAMBS AND HINGE AREA IS NICE GLOSSY PAINT WITH MINIMAL ENTRY WEAR. THE POWER WINDOWS WORK NICE AND FAST, THE POWER LOCK SWITCHES ALSO WORK, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE KNOB SOMETIMES TAKES A COUPLE PUSHES TO LOCK OR UN LOCKS SO IT MAY BE TIME FOR A LITTLE WD40 TO KEEP THINGS 100% THE ASH TRAY AND LIGHTER HAVE NEVER BEEN USES, BUT WORK ALONG WITH THE ACCESSORY POWER OUTLET ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DASH. EASY TO OPERATE TILT STEERING WITH NO LOOSE COLUMN ISSUES AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CRUISE CONTROL WORKS AS IT SHOULD. ALL LIGHTS WORK ALONG WITH THE CRYSTAL CLEAR GAUGES (MAKE NOTE A NEW OIL PRESSURE SENSOR HAS BEEN INSTALLED SINCE THE VIDEO AND GAUGE NOW READS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE WHERE IT SHOULD) THE REAR WINDOW ROLLS DOWN & UP FROM THE INSIDE SWITCH AND OUTER TAILGATE SWITCH, BUT ITS LIKE THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD, SLOW BUT DEPENDABLE. THE BLOWER MOTOR IS STRONG AND QUIET AND CLIMATE CONTROL LEVERS WORK AS THEY SHOULD, BUT THE A/C DOES NOT BLOW COLD AND WHEN CHECKED OUT WE WERE TOLD IT WAS JUST THE LITTLE ORIFICE TUBE AND IS ONLY A $7 PART AND WE ORDERED IT FROM FORD AND WILL COME WITH THE TRUCK . THE ONLY THINGS KEEPING THIS FROM A PERFECT 10 IS THE 3 LITTLE MENTIONED AREAS ABOVE IN THE REAR CARPET, STEERING WHEEL AND PASSENGER DOOR PANEL. OVERALL AN EXTREMELY NICE, ORIGINAL AND CLEAN INTERIOR THAT HAS SURVIVED THE YEARS VERY WELL.
MECHANICAL-THIS 1989 BRONCO IS A VERY TIGHT AND SOLID TRUCK THAT DELIVERS A RIDE AND DRIVE QUALITY THAT GIVES YOU THE FEEL OF WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE TO DRIVE THIS OFF THE LOT NEW. THE SAME LOVE AND CARE THE OWNER GAVE THE REST OF THE TRUCK ALSO SHOWS TO UNDER THE HOOD, UNDERSIDE OF BODY AND ALONG THE DRIVE-TRAIN. THIS BRONCO HAS NEVER BEEN A PART OR MODIFIED AND HAS A VERY HONEST, CORRECT, CLEAN AND SANITARY ENGINE BAY AND UNDERSIDE OF BODY WITH SHINY ORIGINAL RED PAINT THROUGHOUT AND CRISP CLEAN INTACT FACTORY DECALS ALL STILL IN THE CORRECT SPOTS. FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH THE LEGENDARY 5.8L 351 FUEL INJECTED V8 MOTOR BACKED BY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT IS VERY TIGHT WITH SMOOTH SHIFTS, EASY TO MANEUVER POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES THAT STOP FIRM AND STRAIGHT WITH NO PULLING, NOISES SHAKING OR ISSUES.THE 302 MOTOR PULLS STRONG AND SMOOTH AT ALL TIMES AND IN ALL CONDITIONS AND DOES NOT SMOKE, HESITATE, KNOCK, TICK OR HAVE ANY EXHAUST LEAKS AND DELIVERS JUST THAT NICE DEEP SMOOTH V8 THROTTLE BODY SOUND. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY THROUGH ALL GEARS, ALWAYS DOWN SHIFTS QUICK WHEN DEMANDED BY THE PEDAL AND SHIFTS UP WITH SMOOTH CONSISTENT SHIFTS. THE STEERING IS VERY TIGHT WITH A STEERING WHEEL THAT TURNS LEFT TO RIGHT SMOOTHLY WITH NO BINDING, PLAY, NOISE OR SLOP. THE TIRES ARE 31" ALL TERRAINS THAT HAVE JUST A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES ON THEM AND FILL THE WHEEL WELL'S UP NICE AND GIVES THIS TRUCK A GREAT LOOK AND STANCE WRAPPED AROUND THE FACTORY WHEELS. AS MENTIONED ABOVE IN 2015 AND ABOUT 11K MILES AGO THE ORIGINAL OWNERS ESTATE HAD THE TRUCK PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED WITH NEW BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, STARTER, BRAKES, COOLANT FLUSH, REAR AXLE SEALS, TRANSMISSION FILTER AND SERVICE. THIS SECOND OWNER ALSO HAD THE FACTORY AUTO HUBS PROFESSIONALLY SWAPPED OUT FOR THIS SET OF WARM MANUAL TURN HUBS. ALONG THE UNDERSIDE OF THIS TRUCK AND UNDER THE HOOD IS IN A NICE CLEAN SANITARY STATE THAT SHOWS IT BEEN DRIVEN THROUGHOUT IT'S LIFE, BUT NOT ABUSED, OVER WORKED AND HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER AND LOVED, YET HAS NOT BEEN COVERED IN RATTLE CAN PAINT, CHEAP UNDER COATING OR GLOSSY WET DRESSING SPRAY. IT HAS BEEN LEFT IN WHAT I CALL IT'S HONEST CONDITION, SHOWING USE OF 28 YEARS, YET LOVED AND CARED AFTER. THE ONLY THING THAT DOES NOT WORK ON THIS TRUCK IS THE A/C NO LONGER BLOWS COLD AND AS MENTIONED ABOVE WHEN CHECKED OUT WE WERE TOLD IT WAS JUST THE LITTLE ORIFICE TUBE FORD PART # YG346 AND WE ORDERED IT FROM FORD AND WILL COME WITH THE TRUCK. THIS IS A VERY TIGHT AND SOLID RIDING CLASSIC BRONCO THAT IS A DEPENDABLE, SMOOTH AND AN EASY FUN TO DRIVE TRUCK THAT CAN BE TAKEN ANYWHERE!

The older the car, the harder it is to define the condition of the vehicle.Most of our vehicles are specialty vehicles or are 15+ years old, and usually trucks. Because of this, it is very difficult to describe each vehicle to everyone's satisfaction. Based on the bidder'spersonal experience, some bidders will be overly pleased with my description and pictures, and others may feel that I fell short. I postthese auctions based on how I want to see auctions when I'm buying, keeping in mind what I look for, and I try to put your eye's to what I can see and touch. Please help me by asking all questions and letting me know if other pictures are wanted. If you do not see a pic or description of a item or a area on the truck please do not assume anything and ask me about the specifics your a needing or for more pics and i will post every question asked by members so all potential bidders can see. Every car is available for inspection and i personally drive each vehicle before listing it and If anything does not work properly I will let you know. Of course I amonly human and these are mechanical creatures and these are usedvehicles, so please keep this in mind when bidding
