There's a growing appetite for classic trucks that don't ask owners to sacrifice modern comfort and drivability, and this 1974 Ford Bronco built by Velocity Restorations checks every box. Currently offered through RK Motors, this Brittany Blue Bronco pairs the beloved first-generation SUV silhouette with a contemporary Coyote V8 drivetrain, showing just 3,478 miles since its completion.
Finished in Brittany Blue, this Bronco keeps the clean, unmistakable lines of the original body while benefiting from the exceptional fit and finish that Velocity Restorations is known for. A comprehensive billet exterior package replaces numerous factory components with precision-machined accents, complementing polished bumpers, classic Bronco badging, and LED projector headlights for improved nighttime visibility. Both a full black Bestop soft top and a matching bikini top are included, allowing the Bronco to run buttoned-up in bad weather or wide open for cruising season. Polished 17-inch Ultra alloy "bullet hole" wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires round out a purposeful stance, while AMP Research power running boards add everyday convenience without disrupting the truck's clean profile.
Power comes from Ford's Gen III 5.0L "Coyote" V8, delivering modern reliability and confident performance through a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission and an Atlas two-speed transfer case. The drivetrain is supported by a Dana 44 front axle and a Ford 9-inch rear axle, while an all-new Roadster Shop chassis brings Bilstein shocks, power steering, and Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes to the equation. The result is a Bronco that feels just as at home cruising the highway as it does tackling unpaved backroads.
Inside, Cognac diamond-stitched upholstery is paired with a wood-rim steering wheel, billet interior trim, and a Tuffy lockable center console with USB charging. Velocity-spec Dakota Digital gauges deliver contemporary instrumentation without losing the character of the original dash, while a Pioneer NEX touchscreen infotainment system brings wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a rearview camera, and Focal speakers into the mix. Power windows and modern air conditioning round out a cabin that feels every bit as refined as it looks.
With just 3,478 miles logged since its professional build, this Brittany Blue Bronco represents a comprehensive reinterpretation of one of Ford's most recognizable utility vehicles, blending classic styling with a modern powertrain, premium chassis engineering, and genuine everyday usability. It's currently listed for sale at RK Motors for $249,900, where interested buyers can request more information or a window sticker directly through the dealer. For anyone drawn to the idea of a vintage Bronco silhouette backed by a modern Coyote V8 and updated running gear, this build is well worth a closer look.
