Joe Schneider Vehicle story
1973 Ford Bronco | Dog-Friendly Photo Shoots & Chauffeured Rides
This Brittany Blue Bronco was built for cruising with good music and a dog along for the fun. It has the unmistakable look of a first-generation Bronco, with a modern Gen 2 5.0L Coyote V8 under the hood. The engine is factory rated at 435 horsepower and is paired with a Ford 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission.
**Dog photo shoots are especially welcome.** Dogs can pose beside the Bronco, in the or in the open rear area where the back seat used to be. I can deliver it to your location, position it for photos, and pick it up afterward. It’s also available as a display for weddings and events or for a chauffeured outing with one passenger. **Guests do not drive the Bronco.**
The soundtrack is part of the experience: a 10.1-inch Sony XAV-AX8500 touchscreen with Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, two JL Audio M6 speakers, and a JL 12-inch stowaway subwoofer. Air conditioning, power windows, and power locks make the cruise comfortable, too.
**Build highlights**
* Gen 2 5.0L Ford Coyote V8 and 6R80 automatic
* Dana 44 front axle and Ford 9-inch rear axle
* Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes with hydroboost
* Updated front and rear suspension with an adjustable track bar and dual rear shocks
* 33×12.50R15 Mickey Thompson Baja Legend tires on Ion Alloy wheels

Based in Frisco, Texas. Delivery and booking details are confirmed in advance. The Bronco is not driven in the rain, and chauffeured trips are limited to 75 total miles.

Pick-up instructions
Bookings are by appointment around my work schedule; evenings and weekends generally work best. I’ll confirm availability, the location, and any delivery fee before accepting a request. I normally deliver the Bronco, so guests should plan to meet me at the event or photo shoot location rather than leave a vehicle in Frisco. There is no test drive because guests do not drive the Bronco. I’ll position it for photos or drive the booked chauffeured outing. Dogs are welcome, including in the rear area for photos. Please tell me how many people and dogs will attend and how you plan to use the Bronco when requesting a booking. Chauffeured rides have one passenger seat. The Bronco is not driven in the rain, and trips are limited to 75 total miles.
