When Ford turned to Donald N. Frey and Lee Iacocca to build something that would compete with the trending Jeep CJ-5, International Harvester Scout, and Toyota’s Land Cruiser, they decided that they would use the same formula that made the Mustang so popular, and that was to give the people what they wanted. Even though off-roaders were becoming popular, they were not very comfortable driving on tarmac. Ford set out to change that with the Bronco, adding comfort options that were usually found on the contemporary family cars of the time, and adding it to the body of a capable SUV, giving owners the best of both worlds. This late first-generation example of a 1974 Ford Bronco 302ci was restored 8 years ago. Since then, it seems to have been kept in showroom condition and is up for sale with a mere 12,000 miles of labor
In comparison to SUVs of today, the first generation Bronco is surprisingly smaller and came in convertible or, ‘Bikini Top’ options like this 1974 Ford Bronco 302ci, although this one includes the hardtop as well in the sale. This Bronco is reported to have sustained its original all-metal body and was repainted red with a white painted and riveted wide body to match the hardtop, giving it an almost two-tone appearance. Also installed is a set of disc brakes up front and drums at the back, hidden behind a set of 33inch Kumho off-road tires and 15-inch wheels. The interior of this Bronco is predominantly red and white just like its exterior, with a set of cloth aftermarket seats installed during the restoration. Some other new additions include an aftermarket Pioneer radio with AM/FM and CD compatibility, power steering, functioning windshield wipers, as well as an interior roll bar.
Powering this 1974 Ford Bronco 302ci as you may guess is a 302ci (5.0L) V8 engine with stainless headers, an Edelbrock carb and intake, Ford Racing valve covers as well as roller rockers that were installed post-restoration. The owner admits that he is unsure about the numbers matching, but the VIN suggests that this is indeed a legitimate 302ci engine, and it's coupled with an automatic transmission.

The Ford Bronco is one of the most prolific four-by-fours in the United States. Introduced in 1965, it’s widely considered to be a pioneer of the American Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) craze. Five generations were made until 1996 when Ford decided to put the Bronco out to pasture. Enthusiasts weren’t pleased, and hounded the Blue Oval for decades, literally. To finally get them off their backs, Ford debuted the all-new sixth-generation Bronco in 2021, and things have been great. The sixth-generation Bronco has won over fans of classic ones, as well as carved out a new audience of younger people who desire to venture into the wilderness so that they can TikTok and Instagram their escapades. Regardless of which camp you belong to, this 2024 Ford Bronco Hennessey Velociraptor 500 is definitely worth consideration. It’s a custom build by tuners Hennessey Performance, and bears less than 5,000 miles on the clock. You’ll also know how much horsepower it has merely by reading out its full title. Furthermore, it’s 1 of only 200 built with the Freedom Package.
After a long sabbatical, the famous Ford Bronco received a sixth generation for the 2021 model year, much to the delight of fans. Given its influence on off-road enthusiasts, it is safe to say that the original Bronco proved to be a winner. This is further demonstrated by the fact that a number of restoration companies rebuild these historic models from the ground up using contemporary parts to suit the needs of contemporary users. The original Bronco's engine choices ranged from inline-6 engines to small-block V8 engines, whereas the restored classic versions can be found with more powerful and reliable powerhouses by various automakers. This beautiful example of the 1974 Ford Bronco comes with an LS1 engine. It reportedly only has about 1,308 miles on its clock and is currently available in Traverse City, Michigan.
To truly understand the significance of the Ford Bronco, we need to take a step back and look at the pre-1970s Bronco models. The mid-1960s Bronco was undoubtedly groundbreaking, and for the new decade, they underwent significant refinement, including improved handling, enhanced suspension systems, and a more powerful engine lineup. These improvements turned the Bronco from a conventional off-road vehicle into a competent and adaptable SUV that could handle a variety of terrains with ease. By the year 1970, the Ford Bronco was a highly renowned name and was considered a vehicle ahead of its time. What we have here is a 1970 Ford Bronco Restoration with just 12,925 miles on its clock and a lively V8 under its hood. Located in Los Angeles, California, this beauty is all set up to accompany you on your off-roading journeys.

The relationship between Ford and Shelby is one that’s lasted since the ’60s. Even though the great man Carroll Shelby is no more, his company, Shelby American, continues to tweak and tune Ford Mustangs (and other vehicles) to reach new heights in performance and capability. One of the most prominent Shelby Mustangs of modern times is the GT500, which was based on the fifth-generation Mustang. We’ve got one of those cars for sale here, a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible that packs just over 20,000 miles on the clock and awaits your consideration in Massachusetts. Why not pick up this car and make it your own? It’s definitely suitable as a weekend toy, and it can even be used on a more regular basis.
Ford’s Mustang created a cult, started a trend, and spearheaded a segment. Thanks to Ford’s dynamic team, which included Lee Iacocca, Donald Frey, and Gale Helderman, the Mustang was meant to be a sporty but accessible car that could perform family duties as well. Hence, the pony car was born. Depending on which school of inspiration you believe, the Mustang is named after the legendary P-51 Mustang aircraft, as well as the American quarter horse of the same name. Nevertheless, owning a first-generation Mustang is a bucket list item for many, and we’ve got a lovingly restored 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback for sale today. The car’s full restoration concluded in 2023, and it has a stroked V8 engine that provides more power.
