Hey OP,
If you keep it in good nick, the fact it is a 2dr, manual, in a cyber orange colour will help to minimize its depreciation. If you hang onto it for 50 years, it will definitely be rare!

Interesting study. It warms my heart that the color Gold (#12 at 34.4%) is worst on the list. Ick 🤮

Dig the name. I traded my 2016 mkx 2.7 awd Reserve in for the bronco, it was my 12th Lincoln. ^^. It had an awesome backstory. It was owned from new by the Ministry of Transportation in Ontario Canada where it was produced. ^^

I was inspired by the 1977 cult classic movie The Car. I bought a black 1996 Town Car as a winter beater that I blacked out Marauder-style with just enough chrome bits remaining to make it look menacing like the movie car.

Ok,

Initially I figured finding a base trim 2dr manual sasquatch was going to be difficult because it was just owned by people who weren't going to let it go.

What the dealer said was it was a special order only for pretty much every dealer in 2022.

So my question is, I have a Cyber Orange Metallic 2 Dr base advanced trim with a manual transmission and the sound deadening option for the hard top with 23k miles on it that I just paid 36k for. Would this be rare and in 20 years would it be basically a unicorn or were 10s of thousands made the exact same and its just uncommon?

No it's not rare when Ford is still producing broncos. Color is subjective. New 2.3 is day and night difference from old. I would not want to own older 2.3 after test driving the new 2.3!

I don't know enough to give a number, I doubt anyone could unless they have the actual manufacturer numbers, but I know that a) the vast majority of buyer pick the 2.7L which only comes with an automatic, b) the vast majority of buyers pick a 4-door, c) not everyone gets the SAS package, and d) lastly, that color is no longer available and not sure how many years it was offered. So to some degree, yes, your Bronco is rare compared to the vast majority on the road. Plus it's yours! Good for you.

Broncos are mass produced vehicles. Regardless of how rare the build is, nobody is going to pay a premium for it in 20 years. If the Bronco is discontinued in the next 5 years, low mileage braptors might fetch a premium, but nothing else ;)
No one is going pay a premium for all these modified Broncos, I agree.

A clean example ‘21 Bronco, on the other hand, will be worth more than the rest in 20 years.

I drive maybe 3-400 miles a month. Im obsessive over maintenance. In 20-30 years its likely to still be under 100k.

Think of it retrospectively. Imagine something you had when you were young that is insanely valuable now that you used up and threw away. I mean, imagine if someone bought a 59 Eldorado Barritz convertible fully optioned and they perfectly maintained it replacing everything that wore out and aged put with oem parts. Low mileage it'd be a notable relic. :) certainly quite valuable.

I can’t worry about what something is going to be worth in 40 years. I cannot imagine anyone back in the 1960’s was thinking by 2020 this Bronco is going to be worth $60k so I better not drive it.


I didn't buy the Bronco to be collectable. I bought it to use it. Before it gets trashed im trying to prevent future regret :) if its probable. Sounds like its time a dozen so......

What’s different in the performance? I thought the hp and torque numbers were the same.

They are. It's probably the placebo effect with the added piped in audio.

The biggest differences are the port vs. direct injection and the electronic brake booster vs. vacuum assist on the older 2.3L.

IMO - unless it's some sort of numbered edition, like my Bullitt, it's not considered rare. Your color might be something a person doesn't see very often, but the vehicle is same as all your make/model/age. Just keep racking miles of smiles. :D

Down the road, rarity will matter less than desirable options.
My 23 Heritage Edition 2 door manual is one of under 300 2 door manuals made that year due to supply issues.
Not one of 300 in my color, 300 with my drivetrain... 300 total.
If I ever decided to sell, it wouldn't matter.
People want 4 doors, people want automatics, people want V6s.
They would choose a 24 over mine because it came with the 12" screen.
People MAY pay more for my removable rear windows.
2 door, Heritage, small screen, manua,l mod top with removable windows.
It is 100% a unicorn... But it won't pull a big price.
Yours is sure is pretty though! It only matters if you‘re going to sell it.

Mine is unique.… 2dr Heritage, 2.7, 12” screen, removable windows, robin‘s egg blue.

But I’m not selling it.

You want yours to be rare?
Don't modify it. LOL!

There are a whole lot of "No , it is not now, nor ever will be rare." comments.
First , change "rare" to "desirable". Some times what makes it desirable is the rarity. Other times, it is rare because nobody desired it.

Unfortunately, nobody knows, everybody is simply guessing.
If anybody could correctly forecast the future, I'd ask better questions. :wink:

I highly doubt they will achieve Corvette levels of desirability, but there will be a desire for them as long as there is an off-roading community.

I'd look towards the 1st Gen Broncos to see what drives the "desirability" on them as possible clues.
The two vehicles are not really comparable, but maybe you can get a feel for what type of option drives those collectors.

Heavier duty parts and more power (factory) are always more desirable, but then again, a clean plain janer (Base) has a strong allure to the community as well.

How rare and how valuable? Questions that can easily be answered…. in the future.

If the Kevin Martin partnership is still happening with Ford you will be able to get a Marti report in 2032.
If you are seriously thinking of holding on to your vehicle, I suggest you do some research at bringatrailer.com
I think there are at least several categories which make a vehicle “valuable” in the future. One is definitely the true rare high demand low production vehicle such as a Ford GT.

another category is the emotional “I always wanted one of those, I saw one as a kid, or couldn’t afford it at the time, or I had one but hauling 4 kids in the back of a 2 door was frowned upon“.

Enjoy your Bronco.

Rarity does not always equal value, especially in automobiles. They are a horrible investment. Some model's value can keep up with inflation but few ever increase in value.

Could that truck double or triple in value someday? Maybe.

Should you put it on blocks, waiting for the hoped for increase? No.

You would get a much better return putting $37k in an index fund and letting it sit for 30 years, rather than hoping some future millionaire yearns for a yellow Bronco.

The real value in your Bronco will come from using it.
