This gorgeous 1973 has been beautifully restored to its former glory and it is magnificent.

Way back in the mid-1900s, if you wanted to go off-roading you didn't have many options available. The only company that produced anything like an off-roader was a Jeep, however, because these Jeeps were designed to go war they didn't feature much comfort.

In 1965 three men saw a solution, these men were Donald N. Frey, Paul G. Axelrad, and Lee Iacocca. There was a serious wanting for something with the ability to go anywhere so naturally, these men designed what would later be known as a compact SUV on a short wheelbase. This made the Bronco the perfect car that could go anywhere it wanted to.

The Bronco is quite possibly the very first SUV, although its original title read MPV or Multi-Purpose Vehicle. So what makes this particular Bronco so special? Well, that would be the engine, this vintage off-roading machine is equipped with the largest engine available for those models. A 302 cubic inch 5.0-liter V8 putting out an un-astonishing 141-horsepower, but despite low hp numbers this thing could still do what it was intended to do.
