1978 Ford bronco XLT generation 2 for the bronco family, beautiful Rust free semi restored project

All right, guys, here’s a full walkaround of our newly acquired 1978 Ford Bronco, a rare second-generation XLT truck purchased out of Florida and previously owned by the well-known social media personality Solomon from Ford Era, who we’ll be collaborating with on future content; this two-year production model, 78 and 79, makes it one of the rarest Broncos out there, and with solid, rust-free history from Oregon and Florida, it’s a perfect candidate for a clean restoration or patina project. The truck sits at stock height on 33-inch Baja Legend EXP tires wrapped around Mickey Thompson classic 17x9 wheels, providing excellent fitment for Fords, while retaining original suspension with upgraded shocks, a four-speed manual, and a fresh motor rebuilt by the previous owner’s friend, running strong with just a bit of stale fuel needing replacement. Interior is largely original, with fresh carpet and seats, intact headliner, both visors, and rear panels that are often missing on these trucks; the dash remains uncut and will receive a retro twin-knob radio with pin switches, and minor trim pieces like the vent windows, tailgate trim, and spare tire mount are noted for attention. Exterior shows excellent patina potential, with solid rockers, fender wells, and frame, and minor surface rust spots addressed, making it ideal for either a show-ready repaint or a classic patina finish. Safety and inspection prep for Virginia is planned, including brakes, ball joints, lights, wheel bearings, and fluids, with undercarriage cleaning and protection on deck. Priced at $285 for YouTube and TikTok followers to cover purchase and transport, plus a $298 processing fee, this Bronco offers a rare, rust-free platform for collectors and Ford enthusiasts alike, with potential for customization including lift kits, wheels, tires, steps, and steering upgrades, while preserving the character and integrity of this extremely rare second-gen Bronco that’s already creating buzz online and setting the stage for more SEMA-related collaborations and content with Solomon and the Ford community.
