Yes, we really are that old. The Ford Bronco is vintage. And now you can get the newly rebuilt Ford Bronco Naples for $200,000.
What Classic Ford Broncos does is bring back to life the Ford Bronco to the degree your net worth will allow. Sure, you might think that it would make a great off-road, knock-around vehicle that can take some mud in its fat tires. A beer retriever, as Classic Ford Broncos describes these vehicles, but we’re not sure how muddy you’d let it get if you had to pony up (get it?) two-hundred grand before your cowboy boots get to scuff up the pristine floor mats of your brand newish Naples.
This sky-blue baby (er, Brittany Blue, per the website) looks like it came off the assembly line back in 1971, except that it’s been fully restored to the sand-kickin’ grandeur of its Cat Stevens, Jethro Tull, “I am not a crook” heyday. Classic Ford Broncos built this unit from a 1971 platform, and then stepped up its game. That means power brakes, power steering, custom stereo, muscular new engine, bad-ass tires — just for starters.
Like the Marines, Classic Ford Broncos isn’t afraid to turn down applicants. Its website warns that they only have eight slots open and the number might drop to seven by the time you read this. It says, in so many words, “you probably can’t afford us, but in the event that you think you can please be advised that we need ten percent down to even start thinking about the job. And full payment before delivery.”
But we can dream. Check out the Ford Bronco Naples. Run a profit-loss statement on your finances. And give ‘em a call if you have the ponies to catch your Bronco.
