While the re-born sixth-generation Bronco is all the rage, let’s not forget that it had five generations before it. Ford’s Bronco was in fact born in 1965 and ran uninterrupted until 1996, before the 25-year hiatus. This makes earlier generations all the more desirable, and this first-gen 1974 Ford Bronco 427 Resto is undoubtedly a piece of history, as well as something that will appreciate in value as time passes by. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s a restomod, as it’s still very Bronco!
Donald N. Frey and team designed the first-gen Bronco around a chassis that was specifically for the model range and not shared with any other Ford Motor Company sister brands. This 1974 Ford Bronco 427 Resto rocks an eye-catching blue exterior with white hard top, and was reportedly repainted in 2015 by the previous owner. It’s got aluminum aftermarket wheels wearing 33-inch tires, as well as a bull bar and Warn winch to reassure you that it didn’t lose any rough and tough chops during the restomod process. The interior is decked out in blue to match the exterior, and you’ve got two rows of seats, a Grant GT steering wheel, aftermarket rev counter complementing the stock gauges, and an aftermarket Sony head unit with radio, CD, MP3, WMA, and AUX connectivity that plays through a set of door-mounted 6” by 9” speakers. A set of Ford rubber floormats is present as well, and the dash remains the original unit.
Whilst the largest engine one could get with a first-gen Bronco was a 302ci small-block V8, this 1974 Ford Bronco 427 Resto packs a 427ci swap that was installed by the previous owner, along with a rebuilt original transmission, electric fuel injection and disc brakes. A new serpentine belt and power steering belt were installed in 2020. Drive is sent to all four wheels via an automatic transmission with a kick-shift kit installed by the previous owner, that drops a gear on acceleration. You’ve also got high and low range, selectable by a lever in the cabin.

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.
Ford’s fifth generation Bronco was made between 1992 and 1996. It was the last Bronco for twenty five years, until 2021’s sixth generation came onto the scene. That makes the fifth generation Bronco a fine modern classic example of America’s most famous sport utility vehicle. After all, Broncos are well-regarded for their blend of off-road ability, on-road usability and interior amenities. They aren’t luxury vehicles, but firmly targeted at the mainstream user who wants one vehicle to do it all. Today, we have a 1994 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer Edition for sale. The Eddie Bauer edition was a special outdoors-themed variant that was offered. This particular example has got over 220,000 miles on its odometer and currently resides in Union City, California.
The whole off-roading community wept when the beloved Ford Bronco discontinued its production in 1996. It was a fun and nimble go-anywhere vehicle that famously butted heads against the iconic Jeep. Designed as a utilitarian "Sports-Utility Vehicle," the Bronco quickly gained the nickname "G.O.A.T." (Goes Over All Terrain), which was later used as an official name. What we have brought to you is an example of the 1977 Ford Bronco. It belongs to the final year of the iconic first generation. It marked the end of the original, compact Bronco design featuring a short wheelbase. It boasted excellent approach and departure angles, ground clearance, and a tight turning radius. The ’77 Bronco was marketed as a no-nonsense and practical off-roader. Our subject vehicle is up for sale with just 74696 miles on its odometer, and it is located in Mansfield, Louisiana.
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.
Now here’s a truly iconic classic car for someone to catch! This 1964 Ford Mustang Hardtop comes to you from Savannah, Georgia with just 305 miles after a thorough makeover. It’s got a nice 289ci V8 under the hood and represents the very first year of production for Ford’s iconic pony car that endures to this day! Interestingly, such cars were called 1964½ models because 1964 was the year of introduction and the Mustang ‘s production started around April. Just over 121,000 units were made for this partial year, before skyrocketing to half a million for 1965! So if you want a true American classic hero that’s ready for action and will only appreciate in value as time passes, pick this car without a second thought.
