This 1971 Ford Bronco U15 is a purpose-built restomod that blends rugged vintage styling with modern upgrades and a head-turning custom finish. Painted in a striking Area 51 blue—a nod to the modern Bronco palette—this truck stands out while staying true to its off-road heritage. Under the hood, a powerful 351 Windsor V-8 engine, stroked to 390 HP, delivers serious performance, enhanced by stainless headers and a custom stainless dual exhaust system that provides both bark and bite.

Built to tackle the terrain, the Bronco is equipped with a Currie Dana 44 front axle featuring 4.10 gears, perfectly paired with a heavy-duty Ford 9-inch rear axle with a nodular center section and big bearing setup. The drivetrain has been fortified with upgraded 1310 u-joints and new Warn locking hubs, ensuring durability on and off-road. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums, connected through stainless steel lines for reliability.

Visually, the Bronco sits on custom-machined 2023 Bronco 6-lug wheels, made to fit the updated axles and finished with a matching full-size spare tire mounted on the rear. The exterior is topped with a black safari-style canvas convertible top, offering open-air driving while enhancing its aggressive stance. Subtle custom touches like the vent window delete kit, new door mechanics, and custom-cut door panels modernize the body while preserving its classic lines.

Inside, a full custom interior awaits. Corbeau racing seats with 5-point harnesses up front and a matching rear bench provide comfort and safety. A custom-built roll cage adds strength and protection, making this Bronco trail-ready. The dash is outfitted with a New Classic Instruments 6-gauge cluster lit by LED lighting, and an American Auto Wire harness ensures dependable electrical performance. Rounding out the interior is a Classic Industries radio system, blending period-correct aesthetics with modern function. With vintage flair and contemporary performance, this Bronco is an impressive mix of old-school cool and modern capability.

Price does not include applicable tax, title, license, processing, and/or $240 documentation fees.
