LOT #678 – 1968 FORD BRONCO CUSTOM SUV – NO RESERVE

Since its founding in 1903, Ford Motor Company has been putting the world on wheels. From the very first Model A through the incredible Ford GT supercar, right up to the new 7th-generation Mustang Dark Horse, Ford’s family of vehicles has consistently showcased the company’s heritage of progress and innovation. First debuting in 1927 on that year’s Model A, the distinctive Blue Oval logo is arguably one of the most recognized corporate symbols in history.

The past 120-plus years of the company’s existence have resulted in some remarkable best-sellers, including the Ford F-Series pickups, the Model T (the first mass-produced car) and, of course, the iconic Mustang. One Mustang in particular rose to what could be called cult status: the famed “Eleanor” featured in the 1974 film “Gone in 60 Seconds” and its 2000 remake of the same name.

While the original Eleanors used in the films are as rare as hen’s teeth, officially licensed Tribute Editions and painstakingly built replicas continue to entice today’s collectors when they cross the auction block. Barrett-Jackson bidders are also attracted to early F-Series pickups and Broncos, which have proved to be canvases for some impressive and beautiful customs. Of course, stunning Mustangs from every generation continue to be attention-grabbers as well.

To get your motor running for the 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction, we bring you a quartet of Blue Oval beauties that will be among the fabulous Fords selling with No Reserve in Arizona.
