Why Buy New? This 1977 Ford Bronco Has Been Lengthened And Customized To Be The Perfect Family SUV!


Why Buy New? This 1977 Ford Bronco Has Been Lengthened And Customized To Be The Perfect Family SUV!

Last we heard, Ford is still bringing out a new Bronco. We know that developers are trying to line up the new SUV to compete with the Jeep Wrangler, but that they don’t want the Bronco to be a dead-nuts competitor to Jeep’s legend. We also have heard rumors that the Bronco project is in development hell, with twenty thousand different departments within Ford trying to get their say in before the design is frozen and production becomes reality. So…give the new one at least five years or so. Can you wait that long? I’ve heard from plenty of Ford fans that really can’t. They’ve been salivating over the thought of a new Bronco ever since the last version, made most infamous by a former NFL player, went out of production in 1996.

Forget that new Bronco. We don’t expect it to be anything more than a tarted-up crossover at this point anyways. (Prove us wrong, Ford!) But we understand wanting to bring along the entire family, instead of the wife and your one favorite child on a trip, and one man has been working to make that dream a reality…or, at least, he was until he decided to put the project up on Craigslist. You just can’t beat the looks of the original 1966-1977 first generation model, but you can improve on the interior room. Just like Jeeps, Scouts, and every other small off-roader, not having four doors and leaving the rear seat to a miniature park bench was not optimal. So here’s your chance to take on a project where the heavy lifting has already been done. The frame has been lengthened thirty-two inches and rear entry points have been added. A 302 and automatic combination comes with the package and paint is up to you. Sure, for what it takes to finish this one out, you’d be able to buy a four-door Jeep Wrangler, but the Wrangler won’t look like this Bronco by a long shot!

    “former NFL player” = the double murderer that was acquitted you meant to say…

    At any rate, note to FoMoCo – make sure the top is removable and then, and only then can you give the Wrangler any competition. Without this simple option you will be competing with the Compass, Renegade, or Patriot !!

    No way is this an SUV!

    Without a roof, doors or indeed any creature comforts the kids would get wet and cold and moan to be taken home after half a mile. No – this is a car to pile your mates in and head off to the wilderness for some serious partying.

    How do you lose money on two highly sought after and collectible old Broncos?
    By welding them together of course!

    Meh, the guys at Bronco Design in Tennessee just released their fiberglass four door first gen Bronco a couple of months ago. I watched it coming together, as they do some tooling work for me. They make a great, high quality product, including all models of first gen Broncos, and now a 4 door too!
