Ford Bronco 1968
General description :
Description
The original Bronco is all about a vehicle that can get you in touch with nature. And this example has the upgradedV8 power and 4x4 stance to get it done better. Plus, it looks pretty darn nice in-town, too.
The blue paint has a nice look to it. Nothing too fancy, but just the right amount of gloss to signal an updated machine. It goes well with the black package of the grille, fender flares, and those ultra-cool Mamba 17-inch wheels. Big 33-inch tires help give this off-roader that added ground clearance you want, and the trailer hitch on the rear means you can be pulling gear or pulling friends out of trouble. After all, the Bronco gives you that ideal short wheelbase like you'd want in a vintage 4x4, but unlike an original Jeep CJ, you can have a classic 1960s build while also getting the muscle of a V8.
Because a Bronco like this loves to be open to the world, the black accent in the exterior is continued inside. Full doors, a padded roll bar, and a car-like dash make these Broncos an inviting off-roader. The floor has a rugged liner paint, and there's even a bikini top to keep the sunshine off your shoulders. The seats are upgraded to a comfortable cloth that also has weatherproofing. The front buckets are particularly good with a modern set with comfy bolstering. Plus, the center console is not only a nice place to rest your arm, but it also provides a lockbox if you don't feel like taking everything with you.
Under the hood, this one was upgraded to the largest motor that was offered in these first-gen Broncos: the mighty 302 cubic-inch V8. And you'll love this for more than just displacement. It's built with SVO aluminum heads, Holley four-barrel carburetor, Milodon valve covers, and an MSD ignition. It's a strong powerhouse that makes a nice rumble from the dual exhaust. The two-speed transfer case and deep treat tires love off-road work. The column-shifted three-speed manual transmission reminds you this is a true classic, and the front disc brakes are there for added stopping power. Plus, these were the first consumer 4x4s to utilize front coil springs. So that's a fine total package for the town or the trail.
We love the first-gen Bronco so much that the latest one borrowed all its best styling. That's why the originals are always valued, and it's hard to find another strong V8 one for this kind of value price. This one was even once owned by the very popular country signer Riley Green. Now it could be yours too. View Bronco in Riley Green's music video, 'Numbers On The Cars' here: https://youtu.be/BR5m4OeZjHI

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
