This particular Centurion has managed to avoid the majority of those parts, but it is still looking a bit tired.
The quality of some of the bespoke Centurion accessories was quite ordinary, and that’s being pretty diplomatic.
While they were quite a capable vehicle both on and off the road, one area where the Centurion received more than its fair share of criticism was with the interior trim and accessories.
It looks like someone has commenced some form of restoration on the vehicle that has stalled, so it will require a personal inspection to make sure that there are no nasty surprises awaiting the next owner. The top of the vehicle is also looking quite crusty, so it would probably pay to strip that to try to establish exactly what is going on there. There is a small spot of rust in the lower fender on the driver’s side that will need to be repaired. Time has been less than kind to the paint on the Centurion, but the vehicle could definitely be returned to its former glory. Located in Central Point, Oregon, and listed for sale here on eBay, bidding is currently sitting at $1,075, but it isn’t a real surprise that the reserve has not been met. This particular Centurion Classic was sold on ebay on for $13,433.00 USD.With a 460ci V8 under the hood, a tow hitch, and seating for up to nine people, this 1988 Ford C350 Centurion Classic would seem to be a pretty good option for anyone looking to cart a family and all of the associated bits and pieces either on a holiday, or to tackle most forms of recreational activities. The Expedition EL was Ford’s replacement for the Excursion. In 2007, Ford began offering the Expedition EL, which was a longer wheelbase version of the standard Expedition. A true Ford Suburban fighter didn’t actually show up until the 1999 Ford Excursion, but Ford stopped selling them after 2005. The Centurion Classic was offered until the end of Bronco production in 1996, when the Bronco was replaced by the Expedition. The C150 was powered by the 5.0L and 5.8L V8 engines, with the C350 powered by the 7.3L diesel V8 and 7.5L gasoline V8 (the only Bronco variants to use these engines). In contrast to the 3/4-ton Suburban 2500, the C350 Classic was based on a one-ton chassis. Two models of the Centurion Classic were produced: the C150 Classic (based on the Ford F-150 chassis four-wheel drive was optional) and the C350 Classic (based on the Ford F-350 chassis four-wheel drive was standard). As the rear seat of the Bronco was retained, the Centurion Classic featured three-row seating for up to nine people. Early models used fiberglass rear body panels, but later, these were made from steel. The wheelbase was shortened from 168 inches to 140 inches (9 inches longer than the Suburban), and the Bronco rear quarter panels, hardtop, and tailgate were mated to the pickup bodywork. In the construction of each Classic, Centurion would actually use two different Ford trucks: an F-Series crew-cab pickup and a Bronco. In 1980, they began selling the Centurion Classic, a vehicle commonly referred to as a 4-door Ford Bronco. Centurion Vehicles, a converter specializing in Ford trucks based in White Pigeon, Michigan, saw a market for a Ford SUV that could compete with the Suburban.
