Gen 1 Bronco - Rust Never Sleeps

[kencantrell]

Please repeat after me: "I (state your name) do solemnly swear that my new Bronco will never reach this condition, so help me God."

Saw this sweetheart near the house recently. Had to stop by and get a closer look. A very nice older man with a chaw of Red Man (we're in GA) and a firm handshake met me in the yard, and said, Sure, have a look. Turns out this '69 is one of his many Bronco projects he's had over the years. He's taking parts from this one and building another Gen 1 that was in the yard. Also had in his shop a black Gen 1 on 40s with a bored-out 302 on a stand about to go in (sorry, didn't get pix). He also has a black Raptor and a black GT350 (new). Just made a new friend...

If Bronco’s could talk. Bet that one would have some stories.

Roughly only 200k 1st gens made. Too many of them ended up like this one. Sad.

No need to worry. Thanks to all of the electronics in the new ones, they’ll either be converted to an EV or crushed by 2073.

I’ll be dead. Also everyone knows the fossil fuel American civil war plays out in the year 2042....

Can we please take a vote and quit calling early broncos "first gen" or "gen one". They are definitely early broncos or classic broncos. "Gen" anything sounds tuner car

A gen 1 early Bronco classic is too good for a poll...

Hard No. Gen 1 is a unique vehicle. Unique frame and body. Unlike Gen 2-5, not a short, enclosed version of a pick up. Each generation has its own charms however....
