The article on autoweek eluded to that sort of car. Did your dad buy it via a Ford dealer or someone else?
That same article mentioned an EcoBoost powered new gen 1 Bronco that Ford will show at SEMA this fall. I have always liked gen 1 Broncos and bought one 10 years ago. Long story short, it had terminal cancer. I've had my eyes open for another ever since. A truly nice bronco can bring $15-20K. Unfortunately, there are more people than not out there with delusional definitions of truly nice.
I recently bought a '67 Mustang coupe (no coupe reproduction bodies from Dynacorn) that came from Arizona. It will become a group 2 replica racer for the street. I was miffed that it has a half-dollar sized hole in the floor. Otherwise it is a really solid car that will work well for my purposes. My neighboor is a Camaro guy that is reviving a JL8 4 wheel disc brake '69 from (beneath) the ground-up to the tune of about $80K so far. He basically told me I'm too fussy to be messing with ~40-year old cars. So, I was pretty excited by the prospect of a new Gen1 Bronco. That being said, my neighbor indicated that the Dynacorn bodies have had panel fit issues

Basically, it is a "replicar" like the VW bug to 356 replicars, except it is fully modern.
