Modified 1974 Ford Bronco Ranger

Description

Introduced in 1966, the first-generation Ford Bronco was Ford’s answer to the growing popularity of compact 4x4s like the International Harvester Scout and Jeep CJ. With a short wheelbase, solid axles, and rugged simplicity offered in three distinct body configurations—Roadster (U13): doorless and roofless, the rarest and most spartan version; Half-Cab Pickup (U14): a two-seater with a short cargo bed; and Wagon (U15): the most popular and practical, featuring a full-length roof and rear bench seat—the Bronco instantly became a favorite among off-road enthusiasts. Finished in striking orange over gray vinyl, this 1974 Ford Bronco Wagon combines classic styling with a suite of modern aesthetic and mechanical upgrades throughout. Fully restored, it’s powered by a BluePrint Engines 347 Stroker V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. With only 3,200 claimed miles on the new motor and converted to 2WD, this Bronco is built for reliable street cruising while retaining its vintage charm.
