This Immaculate 1971 Bronco Is Ready for a Beach Day

1971 Bronco

If you’re fortunate enough to live in a place where you can drive your truck on the beach for a day of relaxing, and possibly enjoying some adult beverages, you no doubt need a vehicle equipped for such endeavors. What better vehicle for weekend beach excursions than an old 4×4 Bronco?

They look cool, they can go anywhere, and you can remove the top and soak up some sun. And, you can bet that everyone on the beach will want to come check it out as well! Especially if it’s as nice as this 1971 Bronco, which reached celebrity status by drawing a feature in GQ magazine.

A full frame off restoration job, this ’71 is also probably the only Bronco ever to be painted Fiesta Green (at least as of now). It has the guts to back up that loud paint job as well, thanks to a Ford Motorsports crate 302 that pumps out 342 horsepower.

A 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission makes for easy cruising, and four-wheel disc brakes slow things down in a hurry and reliably. The suspension has received its fair share of attention as well, with a 2.5″ suspension lift, and a 1″ body lift to go with a host of aftermarket parts.

Things are nice and cozy inside, with a custom dash that houses aftermarket gauges, a Vintage Air unit, Dakota Digital climate control, and custom switches. There isn’t anything on this 1971 Bronco that hasn’t been cleaned up or upgraded, making this one nice beach cruiser. Even if you aren’t lucky enough to live by the sea, rest assured you can take it anywhere.
