1966 Ford Bronco

• A Ford Bronco first generation in a clean (but repaired) condition is worth well on the Bring a Trailer auction site. The current bid is $ 11,000, but if recent history is some sort of benchmark, this car will eventually sell for much more than that.

• 1966 was the first model year for the Bronco, and this clean and restored example reminds us how easily old Bronco can be decorated as cute as a button.

• Old Broncoes are relatively common in the BaT, with two of them – a 1967 model with a V-8 and automatic transmission and a 1969 version with a manual transmission – sold earlier this month for more than $ 100,000 each. This auction ends on May 23.

Classic Ford Broncos like he shown here – a first-generation 1966 model – are undeniably popular on the Bring a Trailer, a car auction that, like Car and driver, is part of Hearst Autos. Scanning the results of the last few auctions, we find a 1969 Ford Bronco with a Stroker V-8 engine of 347 cubic inches and a five-speed manual transmission sold for $ 106,000. Or what about a Bronco 1967 with 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 and a six-speed automatic that sold for $ 139,049? Despite these prices, even today not everything on BaT is six-digit. 1987 Ford Bronco II XLT 4×4 with 2.9-liter V-6 and five-speed manual engine sold a week ago for $ 24,000.

All three of these auctions ended this month, hinting at good results for some other Broncos currently on the site. We have been particularly impressed by this pure example from the first year Ford ever sold the Bronco. To date, this 1966 Bronco at Wimbledon White is priced at a bargain price of $ 10,000, but there is still a week until the end of the auction, so there is no chance that rates will not rise in the next seven days, even if choking lever sticks from time to time.

Aside from such minor issues, this is the first-generation U15 Bronco, which seems to be in great shape. The contrasting white exterior with black vinyl interior keeps the simple spirit of the original interior alive, although, as with almost any car over the age of 55, some work has been done. The seller says the Bronco was renovated about 15 years ago, including a new coat of white paint. The current owner also set a roll bar after acquiring the Bronco in 2020. The buyer will also receive a removable black bikini top for the Bronco along with chrome bumpers, drum brakes and 15-inch wheels. We said it was cute, right?

The small, adventurous truck uses a 170-cubic-inch in-line six that Ford put in the early Broncos and Falcon. Here the engine is paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-range transfer case. Folding windshield allows maximum air to enter the cabin, where there is a two-spoke steering wheel and a metal dashboard, which houses a combined instrument with a speedometer that reaches speeds of up to 100 miles per hour, as well as displays that display the current and temperature of the truck. liquids, fuels. oil level and pressure. There is also a five-digit odometer that shows 10,000 miles, but the actual total mileage is unknown.

The front passengers get bucket seats, and the rear passengers share benches. There are also seat belts and a central storage console with coasters.

The auction for this 1966 Ford Bronco ends Monday, May 23rd. The car is located in Encinitas, California.
