As many Blue Oval fans are well aware, a four-door Ford Bronco didn’t exist until the SUV was reborn for a sixth-generation in the 2021 model year. Prior to that, the Ford Bronco only existed as a two-door model for many years and five generations, though a small handful of aftermarket companies offered customers four-door conversions. Most have heard of at least one of those companies – Centurion – but this DaBryan Ford Bronco four-door conversion is even rarer than the ones offered by that outfit.
This 1990 Ford Bronco DaBryan conversion is certainly the first one we’ve seen in a very long time, and it’s scheduled to cross the block at Mecum’s 2025 Dallas/Fort Worth auction later this month. It’s reportedly one of just 35 such conversions built in total, which helps explain why we don’t see them on a regular basis. It’s unclear just how many of those 35 examples have survived to this day either, but we imagine that it can’t be many.
Thus, someone will soon have the chance to bring home an incredibly rare Ford Bronco, which in this case looks to be in solid shape with 73k miles on the odometer. It’s finished in black paint with chrome bumpers and mirrors, a removable rear hardtop, a trailer hitch, and 15-inch wheels wrapped with new BFGoodrich tires – plus a full-size spare, as one would expect.
Inside, this four-door Bronco features some additional seating in the form of three full rows, with captain’s chairs up front and swiveling seats in the second row. Those seats are covered in gray cloth, joining amenities such as a power rear window, rear climate controls, cruise control, tinted windows, power windows and locks, an AM/FM radio, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel.
In terms of power, that comes from the naturally-aspirated 5.4L V8, which is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, sending power to all four wheels. The SUV has locking front hubs, skid plates, power steering, and power brakes with rear ABS underneath, too – making for a cool, modern, and incredibly rare machine.

Even more rare… a 5.4L in a 1990. The Ford Authority needs to do their homework.
