The Ford Bronco has seen a triumphant return in recent years, but for many enthusiasts, the first-generation model remains unmatched in character and charm. Of course, driving a vintage SUV can come with its challenges—outdated mechanics and creature comforts often fall short of modern expectations. That’s where this 1969 Ford Bronco restomod by Velocity Restorations comes into play, offering a perfect fusion of classic aesthetics and modern performance. With a 5.0L Gen 2 Coyote V8 under the hood and a suite of high-end upgrades throughout, this Bronco is more than just a nostalgic nod—it’s a fully capable, thoroughly reimagined machine built for today’s roads and trails.
This Bronco wears a deep Navy Blue exterior that exudes timeless appeal, contrasted beautifully by a white hardtop and color-matched 17-inch steel wheels. Wrapped in 285/70-17 BF Goodrich KO2 black wall tires, the stance is both rugged and composed, helped along by a 1.5-inch suspension lift and Bilstein shocks. Classic styling elements are thoughtfully preserved and enhanced, including new chrome vent windows, a billet gas cap, and JW Speaker chrome LED headlights. Practical upgrades like new door internals and a tailgate anti-rattle kit elevate the everyday driving experience. Step inside, and the transformation is even more apparent. The once-basic cabin is now a refined, comfortable space featuring quilted tan leather seating and a custom center console. Barn wood flooring with black Raptor lining adds a unique touch of rustic sophistication, while sound-silencing treatments in the doors, quarters, and hardtop contribute to a quieter, more refined ride. A black fabric headliner finishes the look, and modern amenities such as power window regulators and Bluetooth capability are seamlessly integrated. The Retro Sound head unit maintains a vintage appearance but supports modern audio features, including a subwoofer discreetly installed under the passenger seat. Added safety comes courtesy of a roll cage, and even the glovebox has been reimagined to house a fuse and relay bank for quick diagnostics.
At the heart of this Bronco beats a modern 5.0L Coyote Gen 2 V8 engine—borrowed from Ford’s contemporary Mustang lineup—delivering performance that far surpasses anything from 1969. Power is channeled through a 10-speed GR80 automatic transmission, backed by an Atlas transfer case for robust 4X4 capability. To handle the increased output and off-road demands, this build features a blasted and powder-coated frame, T-Rex radius arms, and a heavy-duty tie rod and drag link steering assembly. Braking performance is equally up to par, with a Wilwood master cylinder and hydroboost power brake assist system ensuring confident stopping power. Under-hood details include a sleek black air intake pipe and a meticulously finished body-color engine bay, completing the presentation of a powertrain that’s as clean as it is capable.
The definitive American off-roader, Ford’s Bronco will always hold a special place in the hearts of many Americans. This iconic machine was created in the Sixties by the same team that brought us the Mustang, after all. Today’s 1973 Ford Bronco is thus a fine first-generation example that’s undergone quite a few refreshments and updates to bring it to the condition that you see today. So, this V8-toting off-roader now comes with custom forged alloy wheels, a lifted suspension system, and just 348 miles after its makeover. If you want a classic four by four that can still run rings around today’s techy machines when the tarmac disappears, this Bronco is your ticket to ride.
Ford’s Bronco came in 1966 and redefined the word Sport Utility. With its soft top and removable doors on some variants, it was truly a vehicle for the outdoorsy sort. It was made across five generations until 1996, when Ford deemed it time to ride off into the sunset. But the public weren’t happy. Grumbles continued until Ford appeased them with an all-new Bronco in 2021. That’s where this 2023 Ford Bronco Outer Banks comes from. And guess what? The sixth generation Bronco continues the trend of removable doors and roof! That’s clearly evident in some of our photos of this Milford-based car that could be yours if you like.
Ford’s Bronco was the first Sport Utility Vehicle – that’s SUV to you and me – to be developed by Ford. When it was released in 1966, it became clear that the Blue Oval had knocked it out of the park on their first try. The Bronco would be a sales success, with five generations made until 1996, then a twenty five year hiatus and a fine sixth generation that continues on sale to this day. Owning a classic Bronco is a bucket list item for many, and we’ve got one vehicle up for grabs today. Here’s a second-generation 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT up for sale in Downey, California. The second generation was introduced in 1978, making this vehicle straight from the first year of production. It’s got under 95,000 miles on the clock, a 400ci V8 under the hood and a nice green two-tone color theme about it. A Marti report is included with the sale.
The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
If you want a classic pony car that’s plentiful, easy to maintain and cuts a fine dash wherever you take it, choose a first-generation Ford Mustang. Produced between 1964 and 1973, a couple of million were made, basically. Three body styles were available, and did you know that the famous fastback was officially called the SportsRoof? Yes, that’s what we have for sale today, a rather unique 1969 Ford Mustang Restomod for sale from Royse City, Texas. It’s got a 5.2-liter Coyote Aluminator V8 under the hood, hooked up to a five-speed Tremec box and a Currie rear end. Yes, this pony has received a significant shot in the arm, or several. With just 155 miles since its makeover, it’s now ready for a new owner.
Chevy’s midsize contender from 1964 to 1977, the Chevelle was one of GM’s most popular A-body models. Three generations were made, and buyers could pick from various body styles. Today, we have a third-generation 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Station Wagon for sale from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As you might notice, this car has undergone a full restoration. We’re told that it’s been refurbished by Luce Customs and has covered just 1,204 miles since then. With its modern V8, custom sound system, and overall clean appearance, it’s a great restomod to acquire.
If you’re a Corvette fan, a first-generation example is likely very high on your bucket list. Yes, why not own and drive an example from the era that started one of America’s finest automotive legacies? However, today’s 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 is a little different. It’s been tastefully modified and upgraded with some modern components and most tantalizingly, a modern V8 from a newer Corvette! Having done a mere 2,142 miles after all this meticulous and painstaking work, this fully dialed-in car now resides in Sapphire, North Carolina, ready for a new owner and fresh adventures. Talk to us if you’d like to be that lucky person.
