DESCRIPTION
1979 Ford Bronco previously owned by UFC Hall of Fame member and former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin, subject of a comprehensive nut-and-bolt, frame-off rotisserie restoration with only 2,800 miles since completion. Spent most of its life in Las Vegas.
Powered by a correct-family 400 cubic inch Ford V8 professionally built by Faults Machine Shop of Las Vegas and rated at 380 horsepower, backed by a C6 three-speed automatic. FiTech electronic fuel injection handles fuel delivery, giving the truck modern cold-start behavior and clean idle. Four-wheel power disc brakes, power steering.
Six-inch body lift with a Rough Country suspension system. Wild Horses 4x4 tie rods, drag link, and front-end components - the correct upgrade path for a lifted Bronco. Sits on 17-inch Black Rock Series matte black wheels.
Inside, Vintage Air A/C from Nostalgic AC Parts, Dakota Digital dash, tilt column, heated seats, Kenwood Bluetooth stereo, and a full American Autowire wiring harness. LED lighting under the truck.
This is a full-envelope build with celebrity provenance, not a driver-grade restoration. Every component is a name-brand piece. Buyer will get access to the documentation supporting the Rich Franklin ownership history and the Faults Machine Shop engine build.
The 1978-1979 Bronco is the shortest production run of any Bronco generation - Ford only built the second-generation body for two years. Clean, restored, celebrity-provenance examples are their own segment of the market.
Located in Orwigsburg, PA. Walk-around videos, additional photos, and third-party inspections welcome.
