Box Stock: Classic First-Gen Ford Bronco on eBay

1970 Ford Bronco Sport

-

Some of the most coveted finds for classic car collectors are vehicles in nearly original condition that have never received a major restoration. This 1970 Ford Bronco is a perfect example of one of those cars and is for sale on eBay right now.

Originally offered in 1966, the Bronco was designed to compete with the Jeep CJ and other small off-road vehicles of the time. It featured four-wheel drive and a variety of six- and eight-cylinder engines with a 205-hp, 5.0-liter V-8 being the most powerful motor available. The first-generation Bronco was made until 1977, but due to relatively low sales volume, Ford decided that the next-generation Bronco would need to be substantially bigger to compete in its market segment.

The seller claims this 95,000-mile Bronco has all-original sheet metal and received a respray and a redone interior in 2009. Being a Sport model, it has some special features such as chrome bumpers and unique trim.

-

While the first-generation Bronco was never a sales hit, it has come back into vogue recently due to its simplistic design, off-road capability, and relative rarity. Since so many early Broncos were modified for extreme off-roading, with fenders cut to accept larger tires, or suspension raised to increase ground clearance, it’s particularly rare to find one in as-delivered condition, like this example.
