A beautifully restored 1970 Ford Bronco has hit the market, showcasing a blend of vintage style and modern performance. Finished in the classic Boxwood Green, this uncut-body Bronco has undergone a complete frame-off restoration, featuring a powerful 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine paired with a 6R80 6-speed automatic overdrive transmission. Priced at $169,900, this retro-inspired SUV is packed with modern conveniences, making it as suitable for rugged off-road adventures as it is for daily drives.
The restoration of this Ford Bronco starts with a Kincer chassis—renowned as the same frame manufacturer used for Jay Leno's Bronco—fitted with a Ford 9-inch rear axle and Dana 44 front axle, along with 31-spline axles, limited-slip rear differential, and 4.11 gears for improved traction. The Bronco also boasts a 2.5-inch suspension lift and an Atlas twin-stick transfer case, designed for smooth transitions on rough terrain. Rolling on BFGoodrich Trail Terrain tires, it’s a capable machine built to handle challenging landscapes with ease.
Inside, the Bronco’s black and tan interior offers comfort and sophistication, featuring retro-styled electronic windows, a Dakota Digital instrument cluster, and an Amp Research power running board for easier access. A double DIN stereo with Apple CarPlay, backup camera, and premium sound system including subwoofers and rear speakers elevate the driving experience. Retro LED headlights and a custom gas tank door blend nostalgic design with contemporary tech.
The Bronco’s comfort extends beyond luxury to include practicality with a Vintage Air AC and heat system, MOAB Hydroboost power disc brakes, and a Krawlers Edge family roll cage. Its 23-gallon fuel tank, onboard air compressor for rear axle shocks, and safety-focused James Duff bump steer elimination kit and sway bars highlight the thoughtful engineering that went into this restoration.
With just over 5,500 miles since its build, this 1970 Bronco combines the best of old-school style with today’s advanced performance standards. See it here.
