“ At Gateway Bronco , we love what we do by building , restoring , and modernizing vintage Broncos . Sharing our work with everyone at Barrett- Jackson Scottsdale is truly an honor .
“ We ’ ve had an overwhelming response to our first-generation Broncos , and our team of craftsmen in St . Louis deserve all the credit . When we hear people say ‘ This truck is absolutely gorgeous ’ or ‘ You guys do incredible work ,’ I only wish our production manager and his master craftsmen could hear the respect for our designs , fit and finish .
“ We were also able to share the story behind the first Ford Bronco Prototype , a historic truck that catapulted the SUV movement in the ' 60s . Vinnie Yakubanski , the truck ’ s second owner , was here telling personal memories of buying the Bronco for $ 100 and using it to go camping with his family . This is a piece of automobile history , and we look forward to the opportunity to continue sharing its story as we near the release of the 2020 Ford Bronco .” ( photo below : Seth Burgett and Vinnie Yakubanski )
We are looking forward to the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auto Auction 2018 Experience .
