Consider the Ford Bronco.
(No, not that one.)
Legendary muscle. Iconic off-roader. The ultimate weekend escape vehicle/gravel spitter/beach cruiser.
They don’t make ‘em like they use to.
They make ‘em better:
Introducing Classic Ford Broncos, a spankin’ new one-stop service dedicated to fully restoring and kitting out our favorite 4×4 of yore.
CFB retrofits first generation (1966-77) Ford Bronco bodies and frames with brand new factory parts — from the transmission all the way down to the interior hardware.
Downside: The garage is out in Ohio.
Upside: they ship. And tell ya’ what, these fellas know their way around a truck.
Even if you’re not a car guy, you must peruse their past builds.
If you dream it, they can build it: three different engine options — fuel injected or carbureted — including a 5.0L Coyote.
As for the upgrades: New custom paint. Suspension and wheels. Leather interiors. Bluetooth audio. Manual and automatic options.
Make it show-worthy. Or just plain rugged. Either way, give ‘em a ring.
Then get the hell outta dodge.
