According to the listing, Glover spent years reshaping a 1969 Bronco into a four-door configuration, pulling off what Ford itself never attempted in the original series. The listing notes that he stretched the frame and body, designed shorter rear doors, and hand-built the filler sections to ensure everything kept its classic proportions.
The result? A truck that looks like a direct product of the Ford design room in 1969 – if the designers had known modern families would want a little extra space.
Finished in metallic pearl white with sharp black detailing, vinyl stripes, and modern trail-ready touches, the truck hits a rare balance: vintage charm and present-day function. The LED headlights, removable bikini top, 17-inch black wheels, and BFGoodrich A/T tires give it a rugged but classy stance, perfect for school drop-offs or backwoods weekends.
It’s exactly the kind of build corporations can’t replicate because it relies on craftsmanship, not marketing.
Modern Coyote Power for Real-World Driving
Underneath the retro bodywork sits a modern heartbeat: a 5.0-liter Gen 2 Coyote V8 linked to a 6R80 six-speed automatic pulled from a low-mileage F-150. The listing states:
“the powertrain feeds through a rebuilt twin-stick transfer case and Tom Wood’s rear driveshaft to send power to all four wheels.”
This is no garage hack job. With a fresh lift kit, upgraded steering, and modern disc brakes at all four corners, the truck is built to run – not just sit under museum lights.
And with only 135 miles showing since its rebuild, this Bronco is essentially brand new while still delivering 1960s character.
Inside, the upgrades continue. Three rows of Toms Offroad seating wrapped in tan “deerskin” leatherette give it far more space than the boxy original ever offered. Modern gauges, a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and clean wiring tucked into the glovebox show the kind of detail only a builder working one vehicle at a time can deliver.
A Changing Market Makes This Build Even More Valuable
The timing of this auction is no accident. The custom Bronco world has exploded, with big-name shops charging $150,000 to more than $300,000 for their packaged builds. Some even market four-door Broncos as “family-friendly head-turners.”
But something interesting has happened over the past half-year: the new Bronco craze has cooled dramatically.
Just months ago, dealerships were selling new Broncos for outrageous markups – sometimes $15,000 to $40,000 over sticker. Today the same trucks are sitting on lots longer, sometimes selling under MSRP, as high interest rates crush buyers and oversupply floods the market.
Suddenly, a hand-built classic with modern reliability is looking like a far better investment.
Collectors Are Already Lining Up
The vehicle is now live on Bring a Trailer with a bid at $99,999 and nearly a week left on the clock. Serious collectors monitor that site daily, and Broncos routinely climb into six-figure territory.
One older Bronco once owned by Richard Nixon’s estate sold for over $51,000 despite being a basic restoration. This build offers far more capability and comfort – plus the uniqueness collectors crave.
Glover’s one-man craftsmanship stands in contrast to industrial-scale restoration companies producing hundreds of vehicles per year. Buyers know the difference between a personalized build and a mass-production “custom.”
A Classic Built for Today’s American Family
In an era where “family vehicles” mean dull crossovers and overpriced electric SUVs, Glover’s four-door Bronco is a refreshing reminder that adventure doesn’t need to be complicated.
It just needs to be built right.
Families who still want classic American grit – without sacrificing comfort, safety, or practicality – will see this Bronco as proof that you can have both nostalgia and reliability in one package.
The only question left is simple:
How high will collectors push the final price for craftsmanship you can’t buy off a showroom floor?
