Bronco Barn Finds - 66 Red Roadster

 When I tell you there are still Broncos out there waiting to be found I mean it. This one was found in western Washington last year, an original 1966 U13 Roadster.

Built in Oct of 1965, it still has all its original equipment, including an unmolested radio delete dash.

The Rangoon Red Bronco was shipped to and sold in the Denver area.

The new owner plans a complete restoration.

Bronco of the Day: Velocity '75

 Another beautiful Velocity Bronco comes our way today....this one started as a 1975 Sport Wagon and was completely transformed by the team at Velocity.

We'll start with the motor which is a supercharged 5.0 L Coyote motor, which is backed by a 6 speed auto transmission. A new Dana 44 sits upfront and high pinion 9" holds up the rear. Both axles feature 14" Wilwood disc brakes which are actuated by a hydroboost system.

The suspension was modified by swapping the rear leaves for coils and a 4-link set-up, Fox shocks supply the dampening. The extra lift provides room for the massive 38 x 15.50 Nitto Trail Grappler tires.

Inside a custom roll cage was installed along with custom seats, door panels, headliner and carpeting.

An Ididit tilt steering column and a custom gauge cluster from Velocity compliment the modern digital stereo system.

The exterior features custom bumpers with a winch up front, fender flares and gun metal gray paint accented with black and zombie green.
