The world is getting ready to greet on the roads the newest Jeep rival, the one Blue Oval with a real chance of challenging the FCA machine’s supremacy, and all eyes seem to be eagerly pinned on that. Yet, the SUVs wearing the same name made long ago are still haunting the dreams of many collectors and adventurers.
There are cars meant to be garaged and others that should never see the inside of one. We reckon there’s no need to detail which category the Ford Bronco we have here is part of.

Despite its ready-for-action looks and the apparent modern hardware packed into it, this off-roader is part of the original generation of the Bronco (though it's a late-model example). You know, the one that refuses to go away from under the spotlight even after the arrival of the brand new member of the family - a pack of them, in fact.

Sadly, we don’t have all the details on this here machine, as it’s extremely fresh out on the pre-owned market. It sits in the buildings of a dealer called Garage Kept Motors, waiting for a new owner to come along and take it out where it belongs, on the road or the trails.

There are a few details that are known about it, though. First, the powertrain: we’re talking about a 302ci (4.9-liter) unit, working in conjunction with an automatic transmission. Word is the engine has been in use for 26,000 miles (42,000 km), making it relatively new.

We also know the asking price, and that is close to what other Broncos of its generation are going for. Coincidently, it’s almost double the price of a bare-bones Bronco from the 2021 model year: $57,900.

We’ll get back on this as soon as more info becomes available, as this machine seems at first glance to good to pass.
