![]() ![]() Quite simply, I have too many vehicles and this one sits most of the time. Wondering why I am selling this beautiful piece of American Automotive ingenuity? The truckis unmolested and is basically as it was when Centurion built it. It has passed Arizona emissions without any issues every year. The company created a four-door station wagon combining the Ford Bronco and the F-series truck called the Centurion Classic. It runs great and for a 7,000# vehicle has no issues getting up to speed. Centurion Vehicles was a coachbuilder in the United States. This truck is 25 years old and is showing some of its age cosmetically as you can see. The original stereo was replaced with an updated Kenwood Bluetooth equipped deck and all the speakers were replaced with Kenwood products in original locations as well. The dash is in great shape with no cracks. The rear seat folds flat to make a bed or can be taken out by removing two hand tightened bolts. The middle seat is a 60-40 split, both adjustable (reclining) and folds and tumbles forward. Interior has driver & passenger power front reclining seats with a flip seat in the middle. It has an 8,000# Hickey Sidewinder winch mounted behind the factory front bumper which also has a Luverne push bar/brush guard. ![]() The Centurion has a full Ford One-Ton chassis and running gear to include a Dana 60 front axle. The V1 was replaced in 2015 with a V2 when there was a bearing failure. This Centurion came equipped with aVortech V1 Supercharged equipped 460 (7.5L) under the hood. It has lived its entire life in the desert southwest. The original owner was a cardiologist in Hemmet, CA. The frame was shortened and the Bronco rear end was grafted to the crew cab truck unlike the C150s (half-ton) models where the frame and cab were sectioned to add the second set of doors (Ford didn't make a crew cab F150 back then). Was sent to Centurion where it underwent the transformation to what is, in layman's terms, a Four Door Bronco. The truck started life as a 4-wheel drive, Crew Cab F350. This truck turns heads and causes accidents. Two adult owners since new.One of approximately 4,048 ever made between 19 when Ford ceased production of the Bronco.īy comparison, there were over 13,000 Shelby Mustangs built in the 1960's. ![]() New: oil cooler, exhaust manifolds, high torque starter, battery control modual, electric trailer brake control. 5,000 + miles on professional c6 automatic transmission rebuild.

Factory Van-Truck 3 Door Conversion with rare fiberglass cap. Im posting this for a friend, contact him only! Here’s the text of the ad in case it sells – The guy is asking pretty stiff money for it and we think that this is one of the situations where the vehicle is not rare because it was built to limited editions it is rare because no one wanted them in the first place. We have no idea as to how many of these things were built or how many are left surviving but how cow is this thing a rarity. The fact that the poster the ad literally says, “posting for a friend” makes this whole thing that much better. If you were wanting to really capture the 1980s hauler vibe of this thing you are going to need to hunt down a period funny car and enclosed trailer to drag around. With a big block engine, a slightly smaller than usual conversion van whore house interior, and a truck bed with a call cap just because, you can do and be anything you want in this truck thing. This is the type of thing that’s basically the love child of a dually and a conversion van. Well, our man Rocco has been killing it this week with the weird finds and tips.This time he presented us with this true gem, a rare 1988 Ford E350 Centurion.
