The record

Ford Australia assembled the 1980-generation Bronco at Broadmeadows, Victoria from 1981 with the Falcon’s 4.1-litre six and the Australian 351 Cleveland V8 and a four-speed manual; sales were modest and it ended in 1987, after which Ford Australia sold the Nissan-built Maverick.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
