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.
This 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT wears a Bright Jade Metallic and Dark Jade Metallic two-tone color theme which really makes it stand out. The vehicle has definitely got presence, aided by its 15-inch alloy wheels and BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires. Few SUVs today have such meaty sidewalls and right-sized rims that make them ready to go off-roading on a whim; yet this Bronco is up for it. It’s also got a Wimbledon White fiberglass removable hardtop for a spot of open-air motoring; another Bronco signature feature. Step inside this 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT and you’ll be greeted by a Medium Jade Knit vinyl and cloth interior with Houndstooth-style inserts. It’s very period correct, with factory air conditioning and a tilt steering wheel. Four adults can easily travel inside this SUV and there’s a retro-modern radio head unit in place for music.
This 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT comes with a 400ci naturally aspirated V8. We’re told that it has a Motorcraft 2-barrel carburetor on it. Power is sent to the wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission, and naturally, you’ve got four-wheel drive!
This 1969 Ford Bronco Restomod combines the iconic styling of the first-generation Bronco with modern performance and thoughtful upgrades that improve comfort and usability. Finished in white with a black interior and a contrasting black removable hardtop, the truck maintains the classic early Bronco aesthetic while benefiting from a fully modern drivetrain. Power comes from a 5.0L Gen 3 Coyote V8 producing approximately 480 horsepower, paired with a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission and a capable 4x4 drivetrain. With its blend of vintage design and contemporary mechanicals, this Bronco delivers significantly improved performance and drivability compared to the original while retaining the character that made these early SUVs so desirable.
Ford’s famous Bronco came in 1966, and represented another Greatest Hit for the Blue Oval. Following hot on the heels of the Mustang, the Bronco redefined off-roaders, turning them into what we know as Sport Utility Vehicles today. That is to say, they still had off-road abilities, but weren’t as bone-jarring or devoid of fancy features as traditionally built. Now, the Bronco is in its sixth generation and has grown into a five-door family SUV as well as the typical three-door style that it carried for the first five generations. Today’s 1972 Ford Bronco Restomod is a fine first-generation example, three-door body and all, but it’s a bit different from a stock first-gen Bronco. You see, there’s a modern Coyote V8 under the hood, some nice creature comforts and upgrades here and there. All that could be yours, with just 1,100 miles on the odometer after all the extensive work done. The vehicle is currently resting in Vegas if you’re interested in making it yours.
Ford’s fine Bronco is widely considered to be one of the first proper American sport utility vehicles, offering a more comfortable and family-friendly experience with four-wheel drive capabilities. Introduced in 1966, the first generation ran until 1978 and sold over 200,000 units in that time. Now, a first-generation Bronco is a nice catch as a classic SUV to own and drive, and if you select an example like this 1971 Ford Bronco, you’ll be getting a machine that can still handle some pretty decent off-road adventures. With 22,168 miles on the clock, it’s got an aftermarket lift kit, aftermarket wheels and resides in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Introduced as the performance-focused version of the Mustang fastback, the Mach 1 quickly became one of the most recognizable muscle cars of the era. By 1970, the Mach 1 represented the sweet spot between aggressive styling and serious V8 performance, offering buyers a variety of potent engine options along with distinctive design cues that set it apart from standard Mustangs. This particular 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 shows just over 91,000 miles and presents as a classic example of Ford’s golden-era muscle car formula. Finished in red and equipped with the signature shaker hood scoop, this Mach 1 combines vintage performance appeal with period-correct styling. With its 351 cubic-inch V8 and a desirable 4-speed manual transmission featuring a Hurst shifter, it offers the engaging driving experience enthusiasts seek from classic American muscle.
What have we got here? Is it KITT, then? Well, not quite. It’s the exact model of Shelby Mustang used for the 2008 reboot of Knight Rider – the GT500KR. Contrary to belief, KR actually means King of the Road. It’s a term that pays homage to the original 1968 GT500KR, a fearsome, Cobra Jet toting machine. Today’s 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR features a supercharged Modular V8 under the hood to really get your pulse racing. In case that isn’t enough, this 1,400-mile machine from Iowa also has the Shaker 1000 audio system, Shelby GT500KR forged wheels and even a carbon fiber rear spoiler and front splitter. You’d better not waste any time, then. Only 1,712 units were made, by the way.
The Fox-body Mustang remains one of the most influential performance cars in American automotive history, and this 1988 Ford Mustang GT Hatchback represents a heavily upgraded example of the platform. Known for its lightweight chassis and highly tunable 5.0-liter V8, the Fox Mustang became a staple in the performance community throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. This particular car has been extensively modified with serious performance hardware, including forged engine internals and a Vortech VS-1 supercharger producing approximately 13 pounds of boost. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, replacing the factory automatic setup. The odometer currently shows 9,999 miles, although the true mileage is unknown. With upgraded drivetrain components, suspension improvements, and modern cooling and braking systems, this Mustang offers the classic Fox-body experience combined with significantly enhanced performance.

This 1973 Chevrolet Cheyenne C20 Super Pickup isn’t your typical third-gen C/K Series classic pickup truck. It may have the stock 454ci V8 under the hood, which was the largest gas engine available for this era, but there’s a host of mods to make it a beast.
