Every now and then we rebuild a truck with real history—not just a famous past owner or a rare VIN, but a Bronco that holds value to its family far beyond money. This is that truck. This is “Bakersfield,” a 1975 custom-built vintage Bronco that embodies a true legacy. Owned since new by our client, he dated his now wife in this very truck in the 70s, making every mile a memory. As a full frame-off restoration, its first drive after being delivered was a poignant journey with his 97-year-old father, who originally bought it for him new. Dressed in a striking Viking Blue Metallic exterior and topped with a solid Factory hard top, this Bronco is powered by a mighty Coyote 5.0L engine, a modern heart for a timeless heirloom.
The story continues inside, where a custom touch makes this Bronco truly one-of-a-kind. An avid hunter with a gator on his “bucket hunt list,” the client commissioned upholstery in custom creme ridgeback gator belly, creating a living piece of taxidermy he can drive. This exquisite Alligator / Leather material, paired with the luxurious California Cream interior on CFB custom seats and plush carpet flooring, elevates the cabin into a personal testament to his passions. “Bakersfield” blends the rugged, authentic spirit of its namesake with deeply personal details and uncompromising performance. This iconic Ford Bronco brings dependable heritage and a breathtaking presence, ensuring every journey continues to build a cherished story for generations to come.
