The Ford Bronco has always had the reputation of a rough and tough off-roader that knows how to take a blow. This one right here looks like it has taken more than one, though. And it also looks brand-new.
A two-door Ford Bronco with no roof and pillars has been caught on camera while being off-loaded from a trailer. But even if it is chopped, the model still runs and drives. A man behind the wheel reverses and takes off the trailer slowly, as if he is trying not to cause any damage to the already totaled Bronco.
There is no information on how the vehicle went from looking impeccable to looking disastrous. But it sure did not come out of the factory looking like that. Though it might havehit a bridge, as someone who watched the video suggested.
It could have been a rollover while off-roading by the looks of the damages sustained by the vehicle. But it looks as if it went through an extrication procedure, during which the roof and pillars were chopped off, probably by the Jaws of Life or another hydraulic rescue tool.
The electrical system of the Ford is still functional, as brake lights light up when the brake pedal is pressed. The right side fender is deformed, and the spare wheel mounted at the back is hanging loose. Just what is left of the shattered windshield proves that this Bronco once had a greenhouse.
It surely is unfixable, but there are parts of it that will sell for a pretty penny. The doors, probably the front end, and those alloy wheels, as well as the engine, are surely going to get a lot of interest on eBay, for instance.
It looks like the Bronco is – actually, was – in the Outer Banks trim, which starts at $47,940 before taxes and options. So you are looking at $50,000 going down the drain. The trim brings leather on the seats (power adjustable at the front) and a 12-inch touchscreen with Enhanced Voice Recognition, as well as a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The vehicle rides on 18-inch wheels with P255/70R18 tires. And those are intact. We have doubts about the integrity of the seats, though. A single headrest is visible in the video uploaded on Instagram, so they might have as well been cut off.
Tagged as the most comfortable of the trims, it also gets the ten-speed automatic transmission and the all-wheel drive, plus the six G.O.A.T. driving modes (Mud/Ruts, Sand, Slippery, Sport, Eco, and Normal).
The comments added by those who have seen the video are hilarious. "Introducing the Bronco Convertible," a user writes. "Half price for Black Friday?" someone else asks.
