The seller offers for sale this 1985 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer, powered by a 5.8-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. This example originates from Oregon and is finished in the two-tone livery characteristic of the Eddie Bauer Edition, the upscale trim level that combined outdoor lifestyle branding with a higher level of equipment. The truck was partially restored in 2021. During this process the car was completely repainted, the rubber seals were replaced, a new windscreen was fitted and major technical maintenance was performed. A new headliner has been installed, and according to the seller the tyres and brakes are in good condition and the car drives smoothly. A Carfax report is available, and the seller states that the total investment amounts to 35.000 euros. The odometer reads 19971 miles, with the estimated actual mileage stated by the seller as 219971 miles.

The seller is transparent about the points that deserve attention: the door panels are present but need to be repaired, so the interior deserves some care, and following the repaint there are two superficial spots that still need to be touched up. The current point of attention is the power steering pump, which occasionally leaks a drop of oil. The car comes with a valid inspection and Dutch registration.

The full-size Ford Bronco has become one of the great icons of American four-wheel drive motoring. The third generation, built from 1980 to 1986, paired rugged body-on-frame construction and a solid rear axle with more refined road manners, and the Eddie Bauer Edition introduced in 1985 quickly became the most desirable trim. Values of classic Broncos have climbed steadily in recent years, fuelled by the model’s starring role in American culture and the revival of the nameplate. With its V8 power, commanding driving position and unmistakable two-tone presence, this Bronco offers a characterful entry into a market segment that continues to enjoy strong collector interest.
