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.
Wearing a pleasing shade of Candy Apple Red, this 1972 Ford Bronco has received suitable attention beneath its clothing too. We must tell you that the body was stripped to the bare metal, the frame has been powder coated, and the undercarriage is Raptor-lined for longevity. So, it’s not just a pretty suit; the innards are well cared for as well. Then, there’s new heat shielding, a color-matched hardtop with suede lining, power-retractable side steps, and a Bilstein 2-inch aluminum body lift to give this Bronco some added ground clearance. The interior features Porsche high-back leather seats with suede, air conditioning, wool carpets at the front and back, and 3-point seat belts. There’s also a family roll bar for added safety. Then, there’s a new steering column, and an Alpine head unit for your choice of music as you drive this iconic classic along the city streets, on the highways, or off the beaten path.
Sporting a 5.0L V8 with aluminum heads, this 1972 Ford Bronco has also got electronic fuel injection for more reliable performance. Power goes to all four wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission. There’s a 9-inch rear end, and a Dana front differential for enhanced off-road performance. So, you can easily enjoy this retro-modern classic the way it was intended to be enjoyed by Ford when it left the factory over fifty years ago.

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.

While retaining its traditional proportions and styling, this example has been upgraded beneath the surface to better accommodate contemporary driving conditions.
The SUV market today is flooded with new entrants each quarter; however, the true essence of an SUV has been lost in the quest to cram in technology and comfort. Throw it back to the good old days of SUVs, when machines like the Ford Bronco and Chevrolet K5 Blazer set the tone with rugged off-road performance, practicality, and comfort for the entire family. Present today is an American hero, and it takes shape with this 1974 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne. With a reported 60,000 miles on its clock, this classic SUV is a machine that motivates you to hit the off-road trail in style and is a looker from every angle.
