Anybody mistake your Bronco for a '70s or '80s model?

[Jruta]

Yes!! And multiple times. I’ve got a base model 2door with the steelies that came on it.

Lol it’s actually fun to be asked if it’s new or old. That’s exactly why I bought it, I Love the look, it’s like having a brand new 68ish

No. Cam phaser chatter, double honks and cheap interior plastic are dead giveaways it's new

I get this pretty often actually, most people think it's restored or a resto mod.

Funny - I guess anything can happen. I’ve had someone ask if my 1970 was one of those new ones, lol!

 

[Rydfree]

I beg to differ...

More proof that 4 doors just don't look right,lol.

He said he thought a good rebuild on an '80s Bronco was $150-200k.

The 80's Bronco looked nothing like the 70's Bronco

It's because you chose wisely. No one is mistaking a moar door as a vintage Bronco. But the 2-dr elicits the common refrain of being mistaken for the 1st gen. Of course, side by side with a 1G, then no one would confuse them. But the body styling cues on the 6G 2-dr definitely mimics that of the 1G.

I have to disagree. If someone mistakes a Gen6 for an early then they won’t know a 2 Dr vs a 4dr or a hardtop vs umbrella top.

I get it all the time in my 2 door. And my wife gets it in her 4 door Flex sometimes too. But hers gets confused with a G6 4 door, LOL.

If I could afford it, I'd have a restored early gen next to my BD like one poster has the old and new in his profile pic. I'm not sure which I like better. Ford and an auto restoration company got together with Jay Leno for this '68 1st gen. Ford was smart. They helped with the rebuild of this one and had it at SEMA right before the 6th gen. came out.

This is true, but not everyone is up on every car & truck, otherwise there wouldn't be reports of people getting butt hurt when someone refers to their Bronco as a Jeep.

I would venture to say that none of us here would ever mistake a 6G to a 66-77, unless they were really hoping it looked the same

Depends on where in the 70s and 80s.
78-79 looks similar to the 80-86.

... "Hey Bronco, Hey Bronco". I look over and he says "love your Bronco, so much nicer than the new ones". Had to thank him.

It's the white top!

It's the white top!

That and it is the original REB... And that it is a 2 door... I am not an door number elitist, but.... It does just so happen though that the originals were all two doors and first came out in REB with a white top....
