Vehicle Description
This 1996 Ford Centurion C350 Bronco 4x4 is a clean, well-kept example of one of the most sought-after SUV conversions ever produced, powered by the legendary 7.3L Power Stroke turbo diesel V8 paired with the dependable E4OD automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Built by Centurion Vehicles on the Ford F-350 platform, the C350 Bronco combined the heavy-duty capability of a one-ton pickup with the styling and practicality of a full-size Bronco, creating one of the rarest and most desirable specialty vehicles of its era. Finished in the attractive factory combination of Pacific Green Pearl Metallic with a tan interior, this example presents exceptionally well and stands out as a highly collectible pre-emissions diesel SUV. With just 157,017 miles, this Centurion reflects consistent care and the proven longevity that has made the 7.3L Power Stroke one of the most respected diesel engines ever built.
The exterior presents exceptionally well with a clean, straight body and excellent overall appearance. Period-correct 16-inch Weld Racing wheels are wrapped in BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires sized 315/75R16, giving this Centurion an aggressive stance while maintaining its classic look. A 4-inch suspension lift paired with Bilstein 5100 series shocks enhances both its appearance and ride quality while preserving the capability of the F-350 platform. Extensive restoration work includes all new weather seals throughout, including the doors, windows, tailgate, and removable rear fiberglass top, ensuring a tight, well-finished fit while further enhancing the vehicle's overall presentation and long-term preservation.
The tan interior presents exceptionally well and has been well cared for throughout its life. The seats, carpeting, door panels, dashboard, and trim remain in excellent condition, reflecting the overall quality and preservation of this Centurion. The spacious cabin offers the comfort and practicality expected from the C350 conversion while maintaining a clean, largely original appearance that complements the vehicle's exceptional overall condition.
Power comes from the legendary 7.3L Power Stroke turbo diesel V8, paired with the dependable E4OD automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Renowned for its durability, pre-emissions simplicity, and long-term reliability, the drivetrain remains one of the most respected diesel combinations ever produced. The truck retains its proven factory powertrain while benefiting from tasteful suspension upgrades that further enhance its drivability and road manners.
Mechanically, this Centurion has been extensively serviced and is ready for continued use. Recent maintenance includes all new tie rods, a complete front brake service with new rotors, calipers, and pads, as well as new rear brake drums and shoes, providing confident and reliable stopping performance. Both the front and rear differentials have been flushed and serviced, and the front axle has been fitted with new inner axle seals to ensure proper operation and long-term reliability. The suspension is complemented by Bilstein 5100 series shocks, further improving ride quality and handling. These recent services reflect the level of care this vehicle has received and contribute to a well-sorted driving experience.
Clean, rust-free Centurion C350 Broncos equipped with the legendary 7.3L Power Stroke have become increasingly difficult to find, especially examples that have been well maintained and thoughtfully serviced. Combining the heavy-duty capability of the F-350 chassis with the exclusivity of the Centurion conversion, this Pacific Green Pearl Metallic example offers a unique opportunity to own one of the most desirable pre-emissions diesel SUVs ever built. Whether added to a collection or enjoyed on the road, this Centurion is ready for its next owner. |
