457-Mile 1995 Ford Bronco XLT Heads to Auction, It's Literally As New

From the 1992 to 1996 model year, the fifth-generation Bronco followed in the footsteps of the F-150 as far as styling is concerned. The full-size SUV also got a lot safer thanks to three-point seatbelts for the rear passengers, front crumple zones, reinforced door beams, and a driver-side airbag as standard.

You can find one for peanuts these days, but most are either high-mileage vehicles or they haven’t been maintained. This 1995 model, however, is an exception because it’s been driven merely 457 miles (735 kilometers).

Offered at no reserve by Mecum Auctions, the two-door XLE in the photo gallery is as new a Bronco you can get. The original window sticker still is affixed to the passenger-side window, showing a total price of $28,615 including destination charge and options such as the Raven Black fiberglass roof.

Finished in black over a gray interior, the 4x4 off-roader also features General Grabber tires and forged aluminum deep dishes, power steering, brakes, locks, and windows, air conditioning, a stereo that knows how to play CDs (!!!), and the trailer towing package. Outfitted with a 3.55:1 rear end and a limited-slip differential, the body-on-frame giant hides a 5.8-liter engine under the hood.

That’s the 351 Windsor to be more precise, featuring a mass air flow system for the 1995 model year in California and 1996 for the rest of the country. Good for 210 horsepower (213 PS) and 325 pound-feet of torque (441 Nm), this plant helps the Bronco XLT shoot to 60 mph (97 kph) in about 10.4 seconds.

A four-speed transmission will have to make do, but then again, what did you expect from a truck-based SUV built in the ‘90s? Twin-Traction suspension up front, steel skid plates, and manual-locking hubs are also featured.

The youngtimer in the photo gallery is also kitted with captain’s chairs and fold-down armrest, folding rear seats, dual cupholders for the center storage console, as well as a full-size spare wheel in the trunk. The question is, will this fellow here hold its value once the Ranger-based 2021 Bronco finally goes live?
