First Ford Bronco
The Bronco prototype was built at Ford's Michigan pre-production plant and delivered to Carroll Shelby at his Shelby American Los Angeles facility in 1967. While at the facility, Shelby repainted the truck to a red and white color scheme, added a 289 V8, later using the historic vehicle as a work truck on Shelby's Christmas Mountains Land & Cattle Co. ranch in Texas. In 1978, it was sold to the second owner, Vinnie Yakubanski, for $100.
Gateway Bronco acquired the truck from Mr. Yakubanski. This is a unique and historic vehicle, previously owned by automotive royalty.
