These days, a dollar just doesn't quite go as far as it used to - especially in the automotive world. Used car prices are up nearly 40% year over year with certain collector markets coming in even higher.
But just because inflation and a red-hot car market are running wild doesn't mean we have to relegate ourselves to drive boring cars. Especially thanks to well-priced, built-up rigs like this modified 1966 Ford Bronco for sale from Skyway Classics in Bradenton, Florida for $69,997. While it might not be the most practical daily driver, you most certainly won't see us arguing.
A Modernized Classic Ford Bronco.
Look, for $70,000 you can build out an all-new 2022 Ford Bronco with no shortage of modern comfort or capability - plus, as a kicker, a dash of envy from Bill at the office. Not a bad deal.
But what you won't get is something so unique, so rare, and so irreplaceable as this classic '66 Bronco. You won't get the roar of its modified small-block 302 V8 or the unmistakable front facade.
This Bronco is a one-of-a-kind classic built to impress under the hood, on the road, and in the woods. The dark gray exterior is accented with some beefy off-road wheels and tires, which are further highlighted by a moderate suspension lift. Plus, the two rows of forward-facing light bars are sure to light up the night sky. The 302 V8 is mated to a 3-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel drive.
Take that, Bill.
What's the value of a 1st Generation Ford Bronco?
Collectors and off-road vehicle enthusiasts are surely aware that the 1st Generation Ford Bronco has enjoyed surging values thanks to general scarcity and the return of the Bronco for the 2021 model year. The average 1st Generation Ford Bronco is now $70,294, while the title of highest sales price belongs to Big Oly, which pulled in $1,870,000 at auction in 2021.Â
So, at a hair under average sales price, one lucky buyer will take the keys to this clean and nicely restored, albeit largely unoriginal (in the best way possible) '66 Ford Bronco. Not a bad deal, especially considering the features and specs.
