Baseball fans will know the name Alex Rodriguez or A-Rod as he is known. The former professional baseball player played much of his career for the New York Yankees, but he also spent time with the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners. A-Rod has retired, and he recently turned 44. For his birthday his girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, gave him a vintage Ford Bronco.
Neither J-Lo or A-rod were clear on what year the Ford Bronco is or who did the restoration. There are several companies out there who focus on restoring vintage Ford Broncos to better than new condition; one example is Velocity Restorations.
All we really know about A-Rod’s new Bronco is that it has heated seats, a Bluetooth stereo, and diamond-stitched upholstery. The seat rests have the number 13 embroidered to celebrate his number when he was playing baseball with the Yankees. Major vintage Bronco restorations can cost upwards of $200,000.
Lopez had to step up her gift-giving game after A-Rod had gifted her a $143,000 drop-top Porsche on her 50th birthday. The lone image that A-Rod shared of his new Ford Bronco shows it sans top; it’s not clear if it has a top or if it’s open only. It’s one sweet Bronco top or not; the blue color is very cool. We’d like to know if this classic Bronco has a modern Ford 5.0-liter Coyote V8 under the hood out of the current Mustang. Demand for vintage Ford Broncos is booming as the new 2021 Ford Bronco heads to market and is expected to launch late next year.

Look great… Except for those plastic bolted on fender flares.
That makes it look like shit.
Is there rust underneath those?
Love the look of it…It looks adventures and stylish!
