When it was introduced for the 1966 model year, the Ford Bronco was designed as a compact off-road vehicle built on a specially customized chassis. According to Ford vice president Donald N. Frey, it offered customers “new standards in this type of vehicle including ruggedness, maneuverability and ‘go anywhere’ roadability.” The Bronco quickly became the truck of choice for those wanting to brave the wilderness with durability and style.

What could be better than an original 1966 Ford Bronco? A completely restored version that offers virtually unlimited power with supreme modern comfort.

Designed by the Revved Up Motor Company, which specializes in transforming classic Broncos, this vehicle replaces the original engine with a Gen 3 Coyote 5.0-liter power plant capable of generating 460 horsepower and 420 foot-pounds of torque.

While the interior of the original Bronco was comfortable, this one is luxurious. It features air conditioning and a hand-stitched leather interior, as well as a smooth ride provided by four-wheel disc brakes and a 4-link suspension to improve stability, cornering and tire contact. Don’t worry about making a statement on the road: the custom pink color, inspired by the recently released Barbie movie, will announce your arrival well in advance.

Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, with a long list of additional A-list actors and actresses, the Barbie movie released in 2023 and became a worldwide Blockbuster hit. Every night will feel like girls’ night when you are driving around in your Barbie-inspired Bronco.

The beauty of this lot is that it pays as much attention to the cellar as the garage. The winning bidder will receive 39 Magnums from the 2024 Naples Winter Wine Festival participating vintners—a combination of mature bottles and selections that will age gracefully as the years go by.

Your collection will include a Magnum of 2018 Clos des Mouches Blanc from this year’s Honored Vintner, Véronique Boss-Drouhin of Maison Joseph Drouhin. You’ll own special bottles such as 2005 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande and 2016 Opus One, as well as a series of legends that received perfect 100-point ratings from wine critics: 2009 Château d’Yquem, the remarkable trio of 2018 wines from Vérité (two 100s, one 99) and 2016 Harlan Estate. This mix of red and white, still and sparkling, and Old and New World will delight you and your guests for decades.

This amazing lot combines the best of the automotive and wine worlds. Spare no expense in making it your own: It’s ALL for the Kids!
