The Ford Bronco is one of the first cars that made the off-road car-like concept of the SUV accessible to a whole fleet of Americans. The Bronco has long been ingrained in the culture of the American automotive enthusiast, which is why whenever a first-generation example rolls through our page, it always causes quite a stir. Featured here is a brilliantly restored 1976 Ford Bronco that is accompanied with a host of tasteful upgrades. It’s powered by a new blueprinted 302ci V8 engine that reportedly has just 1,100 miles on it. The current owner reports that there are invoices available for what is no doubt an extensive build.
The first generation Ford Bronco started life as a small, utilitarian, yet highly capable compact SUV designed to take on the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser and Jeep CJ-5. While the Bronco may have smaller dimensions than today’s version of the legendary name, our featured car commands impressive road presence thanks to its 2.5" suspension lift kit. Highlighting the build starts off with a completely new 1976 Bronco tub, including new tailgate, grille, fenders, doors, window frames and hood. Contrasting the blue paint job, you’ll find Method matte black off-road alloy wheels with beadlocks wrapped in Falken off-road tires. The interior is newly upholstered in caramel leather with diamond stitching. The driver is presented with a three-spoke steering wheel, while the three-speed manul transmission is controlled via a Hurst shifter. You’ll also notice a roll cage for added safety.
When it comes to restored projects like this, it’s not just the exterior that has been restored to look as good as it does. What’s under the hood matters just as much. In this case, the owner reports that a newly blueprinted 302ci V8 engine powers this 1976 Ford Bronco. Power is sent to all four wheels via a three-speed manual transmission. For added stopping power, the Bronco is equipped with a Wilwood master cylinder and power disc brake kit.

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.
Ford gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby. Shelby Mustangs are worshipped and revered as some of the most potent around, ever since Carroll Shelby looked at the first-generation Mustang and decided to work his magic on it. Now, Shelby Mustangs roll out of the Ford factory itself, in tribute to the great man who sadly left us some years back. Today, we have a 2020 Ford Mustang GT350 for sale from Gilbert, Arizona with just 5,900 miles to its name. What’s even nicer is that it’s been tuned by Lund Racing and features a supercharger installed on to its 5.2-liter V8. This, the 6-speed manual transmission and many more things make this the ultimate performance Mustang for the discerning driving enthusiast.
One of the most popular hot rod platforms turns out to be classic Ford and Chevy automobiles from the Twenties and Thirties – that’s 1920 and 1930 for you! Crazy isn’t it, that we’re in the Twenties right now – that’s the Twenty Twenties. Back to the subject car, it’s a 1933 Ford Model 40 Hot Rod that started life off as a stylish and dependable two-door coupe but has since undergone a comprehensive rebuild into the form you see here. Up for sale in Cabot, Arkansas, it boasts just over 13,000 miles since rebirth and comes with a 350 under the hood, mated with a Turbo 350 and of course, rear-wheel drive! Join us as we take you on a trip through its essence and you’ll be convinced as to why you should snap it up.
One of the best ways to experience a classic car is to cruise down in town with a drop-top first-generation Ford Mustang. You’ll be guaranteed to receive smiles, waves and general gestures of appreciation because who doesn’t love a Mustang? Introduced in 1964, the Mustang created a class of car called the pony car, and also facilitated an entire culture of happy, carefree cruising. Drop-top examples like this 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible are most facilitative of this culture, and will definitely invoke fond memories from many of those who were around at the time. Heck, even the new generation will love the car’s simplicity and characterful nature. This particular pony is up for sale in Westlake, Louisiana with 7,337 miles on the clock, we’re told. It’s also been fitted with aftermarket air conditioning, a retro stereo, a new convertible top and new whitewall tires too!
The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.
Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
