Sporting a tastefully aggressive appearance and wearing a great color, this 1972 Ford Bronco 4×4 is an outstanding representative of its model in its iconic first-generation form. From front to back, this classic SUV has plenty of aesthetic impact, while also being configured for real adventure. It features custom-fabricated bumpers at both ends that have been treated with bedliner for protection from the road, which contrast perfectly with its Brittany Blue Metallic exterior, and you’ll find a pair of AMP Research side steps in place for easy access. Additionally, it features an outstanding stance that affords plenty of ground clearance without detracting from its curb appeal. One look at this ride and you’ll have no trouble seeing why Ford chose to keep the first-generation Bronco form largely intact for 12 full model years.

Climb inside and you’ll see that the interior reflects that same balance of aesthetics with an action-centric configuration. Both the contoured bucket seats in front and the bench seat in back are clad in brown vinyl that still appears fresh, and they sit over a floor covered in bedliner to make post-off-roading cleanups a breeze. Venture onto rugged terrain and you’ll be protected by a roll cage that’s been bolted to strengthening plates for reinforcement, and when it’s time to reinflate your tires to accommodate your return to the asphalt, there’s an ARB Compressor onboard to make the job easy. Just beyond the woodgrain steering wheel, the dash area is in very good shape, with the original-style gauge still in place to display its readings behind a clear lens.

Raise the aftermarket fiberglass hood and you’ll see a nice, clean engine bay, at the center of which sits a period-correct 302 cubic-inch V8 that’s been outfitted with a Holley Sniper fuel-injection system to increase both adjustability and cold-weather performance. Outfitted with a polished March serpentine pulley kit, the engine starts up eagerly, idles as smoothly as you could want, and pairs with a 4-speed automatic transmission that was only recently rebuilt and shifts without issue. The exhaust system features shorty headers that lead out to a pair of Flowmaster mufflers, providing just the right sound for a rugged ride like this.
