When Ford turned to Donald N. Frey and Lee Iacocca to build something that would compete with the trending Jeep CJ-5, International Harvester Scout, and Toyota’s Land Cruiser, they decided that they would use the same formula that made the Mustang so popular, and that was to give the people what they wanted. Even though off-roaders were becoming popular, they were not very comfortable driving on tarmac. Ford set out to change that with the Bronco, adding comfort options that were usually found on the contemporary family cars of the time, and adding it to the body of a capable SUV, giving owners the best of both worlds. This late first-generation example of a 1974 Ford Bronco 302ci was restored 8 years ago. Since then, it seems to have been kept in showroom condition and is up for sale with a mere 12,000 miles of labor
In comparison to SUVs of today, the first generation Bronco is surprisingly smaller and came in convertible or, ‘Bikini Top’ options like this 1974 Ford Bronco 302ci, although this one includes the hardtop as well in the sale. This Bronco is reported to have sustained its original all-metal body and was repainted red with a white painted and riveted wide body to match the hardtop, giving it an almost two-tone appearance. Also installed is a set of disc brakes up front and drums at the back, hidden behind a set of 33inch Kumho off-road tires and 15-inch wheels. The interior of this Bronco is predominantly red and white just like its exterior, with a set of cloth aftermarket seats installed during the restoration. Some other new additions include an aftermarket Pioneer radio with AM/FM and CD compatibility, power steering, functioning windshield wipers, as well as an interior roll bar.
Powering this 1974 Ford Bronco 302ci as you may guess is a 302ci (5.0L) V8 engine with stainless headers, an Edelbrock carb and intake, Ford Racing valve covers as well as roller rockers that were installed post-restoration. The owner admits that he is unsure about the numbers matching, but the VIN suggests that this is indeed a legitimate 302ci engine, and it's coupled with an automatic transmission.

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.
