Let s talk about the financial aspect first. The Ranger XLT (chassis U15HLFC5738) was for sale in 2016 for $43,500. The guy who bought it put it through a meticulous restomod process in 2019-2020 and claims to have $260,000 in work invoices.
The people on Bring a Trailer went over every detail, as they usually do in those comments sections, and decided this was worth $213,000. That makes it the second most expensive Bronco sold on BaT, and it could also be a record for that particular model year.
During the restomod process, the vintage SUV visited Exoticar in Los Angeles. There, the 351M V8 came out and got replaced by a modern 5.0-liter Coyote V8 which probably triples the horsepower (originally had 151 hp). Also, the 4-speed gave way to a modern 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission, sending power to an Atlas dual-range transfer case, and 9-inch rear end.
