No Reserve: 1991 Ford Bronco Silver Anniversary Edition
Ford released a Silver Anniversary Edition Bronco in 1991 to celebrate twenty-five years of production. It was an appearance package that brought welcome luxury touches and a comfortable motoring experience. Our feature Bronco is one of those vehicles that is original and unmolested. The presentation is above average for a classic of this type and vintage, and the range-topping V8 might add to its appeal to some readers. The seller’s decision to list this gem with No Reserve is the icing on the cake. It means that this Silver Anniversary is only days away from finding a new home.
Ford’s Fourth Generation Bronco graced showrooms from 1987 until 1991. It sold in respectable numbers, although the final year tally of 25,001 was the lowest during the model’s cycle. The Silver Anniversary Edition contributed 2,970 vehicles to the total, with all finished in the Currant Red that graces our feature Bronco’s exterior. This is an unrestored survivor, and its condition is quite impressive. The paint holds a healthy shine, and neither it nor the original Ford steel shows any evidence of major issues. The seller states that this classic is rust-free, and the underside shots in their comprehensive image gallery reveal nothing beyond a few areas of dry surface corrosion. The Bronco’s trim is in good order, with the vehicle retaining the unique Silver Anniversary badges on the B-pillars. The glass is spotless, and this Ford rolls on its original alloy wheels, wrapped in new Cooper tires.
Most of Ford’s cash splash to create the Silver Anniversary Edition occurred inside the Bronco. Buyers received unique Charcoal and Red leather trim, air conditioning, power windows, power locks, cruise control, a tilt wheel, and a premium AM/FM radio/cassette player. The seller believes the vehicle’s odometer reading of 53,500 miles might be genuine, although they admit that they have no verifying evidence. However, the overall condition of this interior makes the claim plausible. There is no significant wear on the leather, and the carpet is free from major stains and marks. The plastic is in good condition, and there is no evidence of UV impact. The seller confirms that the luxury appointments all function as they should.
The first owner ordered this Bronco with the range-topping fuel-injected 5.8-liter V8 that laced 210hp and 315 ft/lbs of torque at their disposal. The rest of the drivetrain includes a four-speed automatic transmission, a push-button operated transfer case, and power assistance for the steering and brakes. The news for potential buyers is positive because this survivor runs and drives perfectly. The 4×4 system functions as it should, and the vehicle’s overall condition means the winning bidder could conceivably fly in and drive home.
The seller listed this 1991 Ford Bronco Silver Anniversary Edition here on eBay in Spokane, Washington. Sixteen bids have pushed the price to $14,000, and with No Reserve in play, it is guaranteed to head to a new home in a few days. I expect the price to comfortably climb beyond $20,000 before the hammer falls, and it could potentially nudge $30,000. It is worth noting that values for the Silver Anniversary Edition have risen dramatically during the past year, but the trend has tapered in the past few months. Whether that suggests it would be an excellent long-term investment is difficult to say, but with earlier versions of the Bronco commanding healthy prices, I wouldn’t rule it out. Only time will tell.

Only a lever-activated transfer case could sweeten this beauty.
Unreal condition for a 4wd.
I didn’t think the square front end went into 91′ 🤔
The “brick nose” trucks went through ’91.
Most of these rigs, if they’re in good condition, go in the low 20s these days.
This Bronco is very clean. The interior has held up well too. I always thought the 351 was a great truck engine from Ford. This was somebodys baby, thats for sure. I really liked these rims that Ford had on the half tons and Broncos, they really dressed them up nice.
Buy it now! Before your portfolio goes south. There’s a place in the world for a gambler.
That paint holds an impressive shine, it’s very clear the photographer forgot to zip up the old barn door, so to speak.
What? No O.J. mentioned yet? Must be the color…….LOL!
I had a 91 Bronco for a few years- not anywhere close to as nice as this one. Mine was gray, bare bones, 302, no power anything but boy it was like driving a Sherman tank around. I used to park it in a parking garage once a week for an off-site meeting and it barely, and I mean by inches cleared the ceiling driving a few floors up to park it. It was funny parking this big monster next to Mercedes and BMW’s. Rusted rear wheel wells, check engine light I could never clear, got the AC to work but dead the next day (must of had a leak). Never did take the top off lol- I wound up selling it for pennies and that’s always one I regret. The only Ford I would ever buy again if one crossed my path and the time was right GLWTA
” The seller believes the vehicle’s odometer reading of 53,500 miles might be genuine, although they admit that they have no verifying evidence.”
The reason they have “no verifying evidence” is because the FREE Experian AutoCheck Report shows that it had 93,412 miles on 10/21/1998.
I’m not sure why the bidding this high
Take off those step rails, or “damage multipliers” as we call them, and you would have a fine rig.
Sold for a high bid of $20,100.

So my prediction at the beginning of the comments was pretty spot-on.
