Velocity Restorations isn’t just cranking out show-quality builds; it’s putting dream trucks in driveways. Based in Pensacola, Florida, this 135,000-square-foot facility is where vintage Broncos get a second life—built better than ever and ready for anything. Whether you’re cruising to the beach, taking the kids to school, or surprising your wife with the truck she’s always wanted, Velocity makes it happen without the headaches of a DIY restoration.
From the frame to the final test drive, every step is handled in-house by more than 140 skilled builders, welders, painters, and techs. The results are turnkey Broncos that look period-correct but drive like brand-new vehicles. We’re talking modern V8 power, upgraded brakes, air conditioning, Bluetooth sound systems, and everything else you’d want for a Sunday cruise or a daily commute.
During our visit, we saw the full process from raw chassis to road-ready rigs. What stood out most wasn’t just the quality, though it’s next level. It was how usable these builds are. These Broncos are made to be driven, not trailered and parked. Want to flex at the local car show? Go for it. Want to pack up the cooler and head to the beach? Even better.
Velocity founder Stuart Wilson started the company with a Bronco project for his family, and that family-first mindset still fuels every project that rolls out the doors. These builds are about more than just metal. They’re about memories.
If you’re looking for a classic with a modern attitude and zero guesswork, check out Velocity. Because the only thing better than owning a Bronco… is driving one.
