Firehouse Vintage Vehicles built this 1979 Ford Bronco at their company in Statesville, North Carolina. It is powered by a 5.0 L Coyote V8 paired with a 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case. The Bronco rides on Rancho shocks and new leaf springs with a Borgeson steering box. A set of 17-inch wheels with BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 LT285/70 tires cover disc brakes in front and drum brakes in back. The interior features Dakota Digital gauges, Fat Fender Garage AC system, roll bar, and red leather upholstery. The Bronco is for sale on Bring a Trailer.

What a beautiful restoration. I’d be curious of the mpg of the Coyote motor. I know the Broncos we had on our ranch could barely break 11 mpg on the highway and typically got 6 to 8 mpg on the dirt roads.
That would be interesting. A user on this Classic Broncos reports another Coyote powered Bronco gets 17 mpg with a five-speed automatic.
