Before the official Ford Bronco Sport model rolled out in 2020, enthusiasts had the opportunity to admire a beautifully restored 1966 4-door Bronco, brought back to life by the team at Maxlider Brothers Customs. The Illinois-based builder extended the vintage SUV by adding 23 inches to accommodate the extra doors, along with a full roll cage to ensure the safety of all six passengers. The retro-styled seats were wrapped in durable leather with contrasting stitching, enhancing both comfort and aesthetics.

Craftsmanship and Innovation: Redefining the Classic Bronco
Traditionally, Broncos were only available in 2-door trims, making this 4-door conversion a true rarity. Anticipation was high for Ford’s new model to offer a 4-door version, often referred to as the ‘baby Bronco.’ Beyond its unique appearance, this late 1960s hauler received a significant performance upgrade with a Roush supercharged Coyote 5.0L engine delivering 670 horsepower, paired with a state-of-the-art drivetrain.
The restoration process was meticulous, involving over 4,000 man-hours, which is evident in the vehicle’s flawless execution. Priced at $250,000, this Bronco exemplifies the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Maxlider Brothers Customs is renowned for. Their dedication to preserving the classic Bronco legacy while introducing modern enhancements has solidified their reputation among automotive enthusiasts.
In addition to this remarkable build, Maxlider Brothers Customs has continued to innovate with projects like their 4-door vintage Broncos, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to own a piece of automotive history tailored to modern standards. Their commitment to quality and customization ensures that each build is not only a tribute to the original but also a unique creation in its own right.
