This Beautifully Restored 1966 Bronco is Ready to Go

Between this model's four-wheel drive and chunky tires, the idea of letting it see some dirt is tempting. But ruining this immaculate paint job, that would be a sin!

Restoration

This 1966 Bronco looks like it could have just rolled off a Ford showroom floor and right out of a time machine. However, you can thank the previous owner for this amount of care since he performed a frame-off restoration back in 2018.

A Piece of History

Despite its appearance, this truck isn't just special because it's in pristine condition. 1966 happened to be the very first year that Ford produced the Early Bronco. So, owning this truck is really owning a piece of history.

Powertrain

Under this truck's hood sits an original 170ci engine with matching numbers to boot. This unit produces 105 horsepower, all of which is sent through a synchronized 3-speed manual transmission.

Style

The uncut half-cab Bronco casts an eternally classic silhouette. This model has been finished in blazing Red with a cloud White roof. Timeless style.

Ready for Action

This Bronco is equipped with four-wheel drive and comes with a spare tire in the bed. So, although it's classed as an 'antique' that doesn't mean it can't handle some rough terrain.

Inside

Get behind the wheel of this truck and you'll be taken aback by just how pristine its interior is. Once you've soaked up the beauty, it's time to engage that first gear through the column-mounted shifter and hit the road.

Wheels

The chunky white stripe tires look as though they won't be phased by whatever terrain they encounter. Included with the sale of this model is a full-size tire cover for the spare.
