This time, a Ford Bronco First Edition with a retro-style appearance is up for sale on eBay. That’s why the price is up an additional $30,000 from its original $56,915 MSRP. Does the retro Ford Bronco First Edition look good enough for you to spend $87,000?
A retro Ford Bronco First Edition is for sale
On eBay, someone is selling a 2021 Ford Bronco First Edition. You might be interested in it without hearing any more information with the current vehicle market. However, this one is unique as it is a Lightning Blue model adorned with white side panels. The retro-fitted Bronco only has 67 miles on its odometer, so it’s virtually brand new.
The Lightning Blue original color was only available on 2021 First Edition models. Even if you manage to get your hands on a new Bronco in 2022, you can’t get that color from the factory. Although the white side panels make the Bronco look like the old version, that’s not all that’s retro.
What makes it a retro Bronco First Edition?
Adding to the retro look of the paint job are a set of vintage wheels and tires. According to Motor1, the owner installed them immediately after purchasing the SUV. Amazingly, the seller will also give you the original set of wheels and tires. That’s great news for anyone who wants to put a lot of miles on this Bronco because you’ll have backup wheels and tires.
As is tradition for a Ford Bronco SUV, there’s a matching spare tire on the rear hatch. Subsequently, the seller reiterates that no warning lights are on either. First Edition emblems remain slightly visible underneath the white wrap on the side panels. According to the owner, they’re barely visible, and most people won’t notice them.
Finally, the SUV comes with a personalized front license plate installed using a custom bracket so that the owner drilled no holes in the bumper. Motor1 says this is the 695th Ford Bronco First Edition out of 1,000 total produced for the 2021 model year.
When does the auction end?
As of December 29, 2021, the auction has less than 48 hours remaining. Users can bid on the retro Ford Bronco First Edition or buy it now for $87,490. The seller warns that shipping arrangements and payment will need to be made within seven days of the purchase.
What comes with a Bronco First Edition?
The Ford Bronco First Edition comes standard with otherwise optional packages like the Sasquatch and Mid packages. Additionally, Ford Co-Pilot360 technology is included in each model, as are auxiliary switches with pre-run accessory wires in the overhead console. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine makes 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Lastly, a few different 17-inch wheel options are available, and every Bronco has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
Bronco First Edition models are complicated to find and purchase right now. Although the retro model might be a bit overpriced, being one of only 1,000 from 2021 makes it worth a little more. Not to mention, the retro styling gives it a throwback look that will make you nostalgic. The real question is, does it make you want to spend nearly $90,000 on a retro Ford Bronco First Edition?
