1996 Ford Bronco Godzilla 7.3 Manual | Montana
This 1996 Godzilla SuperBronco XL is a purpose-built truck designed to drive to the toughest trails, be used as intended, and get you home with the same reliability.
Configured as a 2-seater, this SuperBronco prioritizes function and capability. The rear bench has been removed to maximize storage and utility, and the fenders have been properly trimmed to accommodate the tire size at full articulation without compromise.
This is not a restored, stock Bronco — it’s a fully sorted, no-excuses build. If that’s not your style, there are plenty of other Broncos for sale.
📺 In-depth walk-around videos are available on our YouTube channel for a closer look at this SuperBronco’s features and performance.
More Information Below!
This is not a cosmetic restoration. This is a professionally engineered 1996 Ford Bronco XL built for drivers who demand real power, real trail authority, and long-range capability without compromise.
Under the hood sits a 7.3 liter Ford Godzilla V8 paired to a Tremec TR 4050 five-speed manual and an Atlas four-speed transfer case. This combination delivers modern naturally aspirated torque with full mechanical control from highway cruising to ultra-low crawl ratios.
Built by SuperBronco and located in Billings, Montana, this final-year full-size Bronco represents the strongest factory platform ever produced before the removable top era ended. It retains classic Bronco DNA while dramatically elevating reliability, performance, and off-road confidence.
Riding on 40-inch Maxxis Razr tires supported by Super Duty Dana Super 60 axles and OX lockers, this Bronco was built correctly to handle the tire size, not just clear it. Every component supports the next. No weak links.
For the serious buyer who understands what it takes to build a Bronco like this from scratch, this represents immediate ownership of a six-figure build without the wait, fabrication, or uncertainty.
