Now this is something we don’t see every day: a Mexican market Ford B100, basically a 3-door Bronco that the U.S. never got. However, this truck is a touch rarer owing to its deletion of the unusual third door and replacement with a panel van-style body. The Ford features barn doors out back, no windows on the sides (with the exception of the front doors), and a 302 V8 under the hood paired to a 4-speed manual. The Ford is listed here on eBay with a price of $10,500 or best offer.
Boss! Someone had some fun with this truck at some point, giving it the Mustang treatment courtesy of some graphics going down the sides and the back doors. The seller doesn’t offer much info other than confirming its Mexican origins and that it currently has a U.S. title. The slot mags go nicely with the general attitude this truck carries, which includes a manual transmission to go along with the V8 under the hood. It’s hard to tell whether there’s any rust or bondo in the body, but since it was likely never treated like a collector’s item in Mexico, some level of previous body repair is likely.
That’s just a guess, however, and based on the interior, it seems likely this Ford hasn’t been used as a work truck in some time. Red wall-to-wall carpeting and rear compartment that looks like any other shaggin’ wagon from the 70s indicates to me this Ford was someone’s pride and joy versus being used for transporting tools and plumbing equipment. The seller includes photos of other Mexican-market SUVs like this one, so he’s clearly made a bit of a business out of moving these unusual early SUVs over the border. The interior shows bucket seats from a later model vehicle, padded walls, and a custom headliner.
The engine bay makes the 302 look downright puny! The good news is there’s plenty of room to work or space for a Coyote-sized engine upgrade. The seller doesn’t give us any info on mechanical health or reconditioning that has occurred since its arrival in the states, but I would assume there will be some deferred maintenance to sort out. I’ve always liked the oddball Bronco conversions and Mexican market rigs like this one, but my absolute favorite is the Dodge Ramcharger produced in the late 90s that occasionally pops up here in the states. Which SUV born in Mexico is your favorite?
That rear side panel looks like it was attached with pop rivets. It’s an interesting vehicle though.
Long stick, maybe the NP435 in there. 1st gear super low, perfect if you got a heavy load of cervezas šŗ
Lavery since you mentioned the Mexico š²š½ models… shout out to the Mexican Monte Carlo SS w 4sp, 350 four barrel.
Overpriced by about 8 grand in my opinion, looks tired and wore out
Ford built that?? Ford’s built a few turkeys but that’s incredibly sloppy. It looks more like a Jalisco high school project at best. The metal on the sides looks like siding material. Anyway the seller is hoping for unicorns at that price. Tequila!
A Mexican carry all, can you even say that in 2026 ?
This is the truck I feel Ford should have made for the states. I got a chuckle out of Terrrys comment, and not too far off. I read, Ford Mexicana supplied a F100, and private shops made these. Build quality was iffy, at best. Ford never really had any kind of Suburban/Travelall offering, I think they missed the boat.
It looks like they let Juan have a go at the welder, after more than a few cervesas.
Looks homemade
Jeff Lavery where is this truck located?
Had to look twice, thought the engine was missing! Lots of room under that hood!
Cool vehicle. I don’t get why they weren’t offered here in the USA. I’d love to buy a B200 or a B300 if sold here.
neat but i would lose the boss off the back.
Interesting find and write up Jeff. Horrible oil can effect and overall sheet metal work. It looks like it would flap in the breeze going down the highway. I can’t tell if the joints are welded, caulked, riveted, or just overlapped. The roof line is raised up… just doesn’t look right.
There are a lot of good sheet metal pros that could do wonders for this truck if the price was more reasonable.
I wonder if Wiley coyote was the delivery man?
Having lived in Mexico for about 10 years and absolutely loving it, for its culture and people even if I wanted one of these cars, I wouldn’t try and buy one. Some things that seem very easy can become a big cluster ****just because of paper work and Mexico laws and changes in Policy all the time. The Mexican citizens under stand this and can deel with it. Most Grigos can’t and they become very frustrated and up set. The question I always asked tourist’s was do you know what Manuana means they would say yes “Tomorrow” I would say wrong, it means “Not Today”. If you understand this concept you will do well in Mexico. If you don’t anything involving paper work and policy you need to stay awayfrom!
That engine bay needs an FE or a 385 series motor. Rear sides are not well executed, unfortunately.
Iād think 1/2 the asking price would be fair.
Made in Mexico, should have a Mexican 302 block. These are a lot beefier than the American 302s. They will withstand a lot more HP and torque than the American version. No rumors of them splitting in half above 500 HP.
I’d buy one if it was offered here in the USA. Made in Mexico, but sold in the USA.
