Customized 1970 Ford Bronco is First Generation Gem
First Generation Bronco restomods are all the rage right now, and this beauty proves why
From Showroom to Vroom Vroom
From professional sports franchises to a long tenure as an accomplished philanthropist, George Shinn is known the world over. In the automotive world, however, Shinn is known for his oversight of one of the most revered collections of classic cars in the United States. This classic 1970 First Edition Ford Bronco was once a part of that hallowed collection but is now ready to blow off the dust and hit your favorite off-road trail.
Ready to Wear (and Tear)
If it’s not obvious from the first sight, this Bronco has undergone a total restoration. A newly powder-coated frame will put your mind at ease about future corrosion trouble, particularly if you want to flex the vehicle’s off-road capability. But the new frame is just one of the new features that make this first edition restomod special.

Rugged & Roomy
True to the original design, this Bronco’s interior is stylishly sparse and comes complete with easy-to-clean black carpeting and a set of all-weather floor mats. Off-road adventures are much more comfortable thanks to the addition of aftermarket high-back black bucket seats. A Grant steering wheel compliments the Bronco’s white-faced gauges and chrome surround, while a contemporary sound system allows you to adventure to the sound of your favorite tunes.

Style & Snarl
Fender flares have been paired with exposed rivets, a cool feature that expertly accentuates the vehicle’s orange and black paint scheme. The Bronco’s 16-inch American Racing alloy wheels offer a utilitarian style with off-road capability, while a rear roll cage further accentuates its ready-to-rumble attitude.
