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.

This is the rebirth of a Ford icon: the big boy four-door version of the Bronco, aka the Wildtrak top-end hardcore off-road edition. Broncos of generations past were built off the Ford F-150 platform, while this 2022 Ford Bronco Wildtrak Advanced is a mid-sized off-road SUV built on the same platform that the Ford Ranger comes on. It boasts a twin-turbo V6 engine for facing any off-road challenge. The Wildtrak is the top-most most hardcore machine for even dune racing and you can also take your family with you. With 15,663 miles on its clock, it is currently residing in Rocky River, Ohio waiting for its next owner.
The sixth-generation Ford Bronco is one of just two off-roaders that allow you to remove the doors and roof for an unmatched, open-air experience when driving and exploring in the great American wilderness. The Bronco nameplate itself is well-known for this and is widely considered to be one of the pioneering SUVs in American automotive history. The first generation came about in 1966, and by the time Ford threw in the towel in 1996, the Bronco had reached its fifth generation. Twenty-five years later, the Blue Oval would resurrect the nameplate to much acclaim. That’s why you’d be daft not to seriously consider this 2021 Ford Bronco WildTrak as your family adventurer. This WildTrak series machine sports a smidge 31,565 miles under its belt and comes with some valuable upgrades.
Ford’s epic sport utility vehicle, the Bronco is one of the Blue Oval’s most desirable vehicles in North America. When it debuted in 1965, Ford had a hard time keeping up with demand. Then, when they discontinued it in 1996, they were lucky that there weren’t crowds with pitchforks gathered outside their headquarters. Thankfully, the Bronco is back, and selling once again like hot cakes. However, if you want a classic Bronco, there are five fantastic generations to pick from. This 1972 Ford Bronco comes from the very first generation, and is an excellent example of what made the Bronco so sought after. Having undergone a frame-off build by Gateway Bronco in Hamel, Illinois, this vehicle is up for sale.
Ford’s longest-running series to date, the F-Series entered production in 1948, and revolutionized small businesses across America. Here was a sturdy, capable and reliable pickup truck that came in capacities of ½ ton upwards. It offered a great way to transport your goods to market, bring back raw materials, and carry your family as well. Now we’re on the fourteenth generation of the F-Series, and there have been many greats along the way. This 2008 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson comes from the eleventh generation and is the result of a collaboration between Ford and Harley Davidson. This special edition was offered for the tenth generation as well. Furthermore, this truck comes with the Saleen supercharger package, making it one heck of a ride to own and drive.
Ford’s Mustang continues to be a runaway sales hit over sixty years later. The starter of the pony car category, the Mustang could be had as a lovely open-topped cruiser, or a potent V8-packing muscle car scarer. One of the more performance-oriented derivatives was the Mach 1. As you may imagine, this was peak Jet Age era, and supersonic travel was an intriguing concept. While your road-going Mustang Mach 1 certainly couldn’t touch the speed of sound or get anywhere near it, it sure was a nice tag to have. Furthermore, the Mach 1 came with a host of cosmetic and performance enhancements. If you’re interested in owning a first-generation Mach 1, here’s a 112,334-mile 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 up for sale. The car has received recent servicing as well.
In the ʼ00s, Ford decided to honor its timeless Thunderbird personal luxury car with a retro-modern eleventh generation. Produced for just three short years, this eleventh-generation T-Bird saw over 60,000 units made. Heavily inspired by the first generation from the 1950s, this new T-Bird sat on a modern platform, and used a V8 from Jaguar, of all places. Today, we’ve got a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for those who are intrigued by this pastiche of ʼ50s styling and ʼ00s mechanicals and creature comforts. The car has done only 8,312 miles, making it a real rare find, and a definitive future classic.
