Old Broncos are very collectible nowadays, even more so after the Ford Motor Company took the veils off the sixth-gen model. Be that as it may, second-hand prices for the Gen 4 still are within reach for many.
The 1988 model in the photo gallery is one of the finest examples from that year, particularly thanks to the low mileage. Currently showing just 34,187 miles (55,019 kilometers), the red-and-white SUV is offered at no reserve.

Listed on eBay by terryss4541970, the four-wheel-drive XLT “has spent most of its life in the Northwest,” according to the seller. No rust and no accidents also need to be mentioned, along with 30-inch Toyo A/T Open Country tires complemented by 15-inch wheels. The list of creature comforts kicks off with ice-cold A/C and continues with tilt adjustment for the steering wheel, power windows and locks, cruise control, a CD player, and a new spare tire.

From the pictures provided by the seller, the body and paint appear to be in great condition. The same can be said about the headliner and carpets, but the driver’s seat does show a little wear and tear on the left bolster.

Sitting at $9,700 after 16 bids, chassis number 1FMEU15N8JLA24160 still features the original smog pump and 302-cu in V8. The small-block engine with 5.0 liters of displacement is good for approximately 185 horsepower and 270 pound-feet (366 Nm) of torque, output figures that pale in comparison to the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder of the all-new Bronco for 2021.

The engine, along with the torque-converter transmission and dual-range transfer case, is pretty good for venturing off the beaten path. The SUV's ground clearance isn’t too shabby either, but serious off-road enthusiasts may want to consider the 2021 model year with the Sasquatch Package.

Available even on the base two-door spec that starts at $28,500 excluding destination, the Sasquatch adds 35-inch tires, high-clearance fender flares, and suspension, a 4.7 final drive ratio with electronic-locking front and rear axles, and 17-inch aluminum wheels for the princely price of $4,995. For the time being, this package is exclusively offered with the 10-speed auto.
