1972 Ford Bronco Restomod

This 1972 Ford Bronco Restomod pairs the iconic lines of Ford’s first-generation Bronco with a modern drivetrain, suspension, interior, and electrical package. The early Bronco, built from 1966 through 1977, has become one of the most coveted vintage 4x4s on the collector market. This example is a well-executed blend of classic character and modern drivability. It’s finished in vivid blue with crisp black trim and a contrasting black soft top, and it sits on aggressive 35-inch BFGoodrich tires. Under the hood, a 347ci Ford small-block stroker V8 with MSD Atomic EFI delivers strong, dependable power through a C4 3-speed automatic. Vintage Air A/C, power steering, and power brakes make it easy to drive, while a Smittybilt winch, full roll cage, and retained four-wheel-drive system keep it capable off the pavement. This is an early Bronco built to be driven, enjoyed, and admired.
