Built in extremely limited quantities and slapped with a lofty price tag, the 2023 Ford Bronco DR isn’t exactly a common sight these days, which is also due to the fact that it’s not street legal. This is, after all, a dedicated off-road racer that’s designed to blast across the desert at high speed, and it even arrived at dealers in a body-in-white configuration, awaiting the new owner to choose a livery of their own. Regardless, we’ve seen a number of Ford Bronco DR models make it to the auction block, and now, there’s another one up for grabs.
This 2023 Ford Bronco DR is up for auction at Bring a Trailer right now, but it’s also sporting a unique look compared to the ones we’ve seen previously – a livery inspired by the new 2025 Ford Bronco Stroppe Edition, which itself is inspired by Bill Stroppe’s Baja-winning machine and subsequent road-legal examples sold to the public. That consists of an orange, black, and blue vinyl wrap, giving it a truly unique look that we have yet to see on any other Ford Bronco DR – though just 50 were built in total, in all fairness.
This and all Bronco DR models came equipped with unique resin transfer molded fiberglass body panels, coupled with loads of suspension upgrades and 17-inch beadlock wheels wrapped with 37-inch BFGoodrich competition-use tires, plus Recaro Pro Racer ORV-XL seats, Sparco multi-point harnesses, a MoTeC data acquisition system, a Lowrance HDS 9 GPS navigation system, a Kenwood two-way radio, and a PCI intercom system. Power comes from the naturally-aspirated 5.0L V8 Coyote engine, feeding power to all four wheels via the 10R80 ten-speed automatic transmission.
This Ford Bronco DR is one of a handful we’ve seen pop up for sale at auction as of late, a list that includes a body-in-white example, one finished in NATO Olive Green paint, another with a red, white, and blue vinyl wrap with Bronco graphics, and one wearing Ford’s famous, color-shifting Mystichrome hue.
