After a lengthy hiatus, the Bronco nameplate has made a return on an all-new and already popular range of SUVs from the Blue Oval. However, while the new car manages to capture a lot of what made the original special, there’s still no substitute for the first generation. The original Ford Bronco is the perfect entry into classic car ownership, with strong residuals and a thriving aftermarket community that is keen to keep the legend alive. Our featured example is a 1970 Ford Bronco that has been lovingly restomodded, and features an all-new engine that’s more commonly found under the hood of the latest Mustangs. With various upgrades, this Bronco brings a dose of modernity to a package that very clearly has retro roots. The owner reports that this SUV has covered around 12,000 miles since it was built.
The Midnight Blue exterior paint job on this 1970 Ford Bronco appears to be exquisite in the provided images. It highlights the boxy and simple lines of the original Bronco perfectly and manages to give a deep shine that almost certainly wouldn’t have been achieved when the car was new. Look closely, and you’ll also notice integrated all-metal fender flares and power steps to aid ingress and egress — the latter being of particular use as this Bronco features a 2.5-inch suspension lift as well as a 1” hidden bumper gap lift. The interior is trimmed in full Relicate leather, with the color of choice being a perfectly contrasting cream. For added safety, the cabin is outfitted with a family cage, while the interior is protected from the elements thanks to a soft top. Last but not least, the owner reports the addition of an Alpine 5.1 Bluetooth stereo system.
Under the hood of this 1970 Ford Bronco restomod is a much more modern powerplant than what would have been found originally. Swapping carburetors for modern engine management, this off-roader is powered by a 5.0-liter Ford Racing Coyote V8 engine — the same kind that is seen on many of the Blue Oval’s high-performance applications, such as the Mustang. Power is sent to the road via a 4R70W automatic transmission.

The 1971 Ford Bronco is a first-generation icon, built at a time when 4x4s were simple, tough, and purpose-driven. With its short wheelbase, solid axles, and body-on-frame construction, the early Bronco earned its reputation on trails and back roads long before it became a collector favorite. This example is equipped with a 302ci V8 and an automatic transmission, offering a more approachable driving experience while staying true to the Bronco’s rugged roots. With a removable hardtop and unmistakable styling, this Bronco reflects an era when off-road vehicles were built to explore first and impress later.
This 2023 Ford Bronco starts with the turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost engine and 10-speed automatic, a combination focused on balanced power and efficiency for daily use and light off-road exploring. Featuring over 10,000 miles, it has then been heavily upgraded with a 5” lift, 37” tires, armor-style bumpers and a winch, transforming a basic Bronco into a trail-ready build that still keeps modern safety features like integrated rear sensors. The custom leather interior and tuning work make it feel more special than a typical base model while preserving the open-air Bronco fun.
In 2021, Ford reintroduced the Bronco with the launch of its sixth generation after a twenty-five-year hiatus, reviving one of the brand’s most celebrated nameplates. Originally introduced in 1966, the Bronco quickly built a loyal following for its capable off-road performance, practical design, and available V8 power. Its discontinuation in 1996 was met with widespread disappointment, making the modern Bronco’s return especially significant. The sixth-generation Bronco stands out as one of the only vehicles on the market—alongside the Jeep Wrangler—to offer both removable doors and a removable roof, reinforcing its authentic off-road character. A high-performance Raptor variant joined the lineup in 2022, offered exclusively in four-door form, and elevates the Bronco platform with Ford Performance engineering. This 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor, offered from Orlando, has covered just under 16,000 miles and is equipped with Vossen wheels, the Lux Package, the Raptor Series Package, Equipment Group 374A, and additional enhancements that further distinguish it from standard examples.
The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 represents the pinnacle of modern American muscle, combining brutal supercharged power with advanced chassis engineering and track-focused technology. Powered by a hand-built 5.2L supercharged V8 and paired to a Tremec 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the GT500 delivers supercar-level performance while retaining daily drivability. Finished in Young Gun Gray over an ebony interior, this example is further elevated with desirable factory packages including the handling package and technology package, along with extensive cosmetic enhancements such as a GT500 widebody conversion, full body repaint, and forged 22-inch wheels. The result is a visually striking and highly capable Shelby that stands far apart from a standard GT500.
Nothing beats the experience of cruising around town in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang Convertible. Imagine what buyers must have felt like back then? Ford’s hit pony car was literally flying off the showroom floors. For the first full production year, 1965, Ford sold over half a million! This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of them, and it’s now available to purchase in Jacksonville, Florida. With just under 40,000 miles, this pony packs a nice 302 under the hood, paired with power steering and a front disc brake conversion for better stopping prowess.
The 1937 Ford line-up hit the streets as a refresh of the preceding Model 48. It was offered in a variety of body styles, and is known as one of the most popular cars for hot-rodding to this day. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod from Coast 2 Coast. Starting off as a 2-door car, this car has been comprehensively hand-formed from a 1939 Ford fiberglass body by Coast 2 Coast, and features a host of enhancements. From a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 from arch-rivals Chevy, to a GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a plushly reupholstered Fawn Beige leather interior, this hot rod is a fine cruiser that will brighten up the darkest of days.
The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.

The Civilian Jeep, or Willys Jeep CJ is what eventually became the Wrangler that we know and love to this day. Conceived in 1948 as a civilian variant to the popular military Jeep, the CJ ran until 1986. The CJ-7 variant was one of the latest at the time, made between 1976 and 1986. That’s what we have here today, a 1985 Jeep CJ-7 for sale from Burnsville, Minnesota. This Jeep packs around 91,747 miles on the clock and has received a 327ci V8 engine upgrade, with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. It’s also got the Heavy-Duty Suspension Package, making it fantastic for someone who is seeking a fun but tough and capable off-road machine for weekend forays into the wilderness.
