Hemmings Data Shows First-Generation Ford Bronco Auction Sales Averaging Over 14% Above Reserve as Iconic SUV Turns 60

With values outpacing vintage Jeep, Land Rover, and Chevrolet rivals, the first-gen Bronco remains the most collectible model

BENNINGTON, VT – (August 12, 2025) — As the Ford Bronco celebrates its 60th anniversary this summer, Hemmings, the world’s largest online collector car marketplace, is spotlighting the first-generation Bronco (1966–1977), the most collectible era in the SUV’s history and the design inspiration for today’s modern Bronco.

Over the past five years, first-gen Broncos sold through Hemmings Auctions have averaged 14.2% above reserve, with standout years commanding even higher premiums. The 1966 models averaged 20.2% over reserve and 1989 models achieved 24% over reserve. Current listings on Hemmings.com range from $5,500 driver-quality builds to fully restored custom examples approaching $300,000.

Bronco Values and Market Position in 2025
According to Hemmings’ Marketplace Editor, Terry Shea, in today’s collector market, first-gen Broncos command an average value of $82,000, significantly ahead of vintage competitors such as the 1969–1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer ($68,000), the 1971–1975 Land Rover Series III ($23,000), and the 1972–1978 Jeep CJ5 ($19,000). Among the highest-valued years:

  • 1974 Ford Bronco: $98,000
  • 1971 Ford Bronco: $93,000
  • 1969 Ford Bronco: $91,000

“The first generation is the heart and soul of the Bronco story,” said Shea. “It bridges eras and audiences, has deep nostalgic appeal, and continues to deliver a strong return for collectors, especially as original or lightly restored examples become harder to find.”

A Look Back at Bronco’s First Generation
Debuting in August 1965 for the 1966 model year, the Ford Bronco entered a market dominated by Jeep and Land Rover, offering an “all-purpose vehicle” in three body styles: Wagon, Sport Utility (pickup), and Roadster. Nearly 90% of first-gen production was the hardtop Wagon with the pickup accounting for 8% of sales and the Roadster just over 2%.

Powered by a variety of inline-six and small-block V8 engines, including the 170-cu.in. OHV six and the 302-cu.in. OHV V8, the Bronco combined rugged durability with surprisingly refined road manners, thanks to coil springs at all four corners.

The Baja Bronco: First-Gen’s Crown Jewel
From 1971 to 1975, legendary builder Bill Stroppe created the Baja Bronco to celebrate back-to-back Baja 1000 wins with Parnelli Jones. Finished in distinctive red, white, and blue paint with a satin black hood, heavy-duty suspension, fender flares, and desert-ready equipment, and with only 450–650 Baja Broncos produced, it makes the SUV the most collectible first-gen variant. Hemmings currently features a pristine example for sale: 1973 Ford Baja Bronco Listing at just under $175,000.

First-Generation Ford Bronco Production Snapshot (1966–1977):

  • Highest year: 1974 with 25,824 units
  • Lowest year: 1975 with 13,125 units

Six decades after its debut, the first-generation Bronco continues to stand as a symbol of American adventure and a benchmark in the collector SUV market.

Friends of Cancer Research and MMS Collaborate to Develop Decision Frameworks for Interim Overall Survival Data in Oncology Trials

MMS, a global, data-focused clinical research organization (CRO), announced today that it has been chosen by Friends of Cancer Research (Friends), a leading nonprofit dedicated to accelerating innovation in cancer research, to support the development of practical decision frameworks to inform the interpretation of interim overall survival (OS) data in oncology clinical trials.

The collaboration addresses a longstanding challenge in cancer drug development: how to assess long-term treatment benefit when OS data remain immature. In many oncology studies, developers use endpoints such as progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) as an initial indicator of treatment efficacy. However, evaluating OS data at the same interim point can complicate the assessment of long-term benefit or harm. To provide clarity, Friends has convened a consortium of stakeholders to develop and evaluate different modeling scenarios, including crossover effects and delayed treatment benefits.

Friends selected MMS to lead simulation and modeling efforts for this project based on both its simulation platform, KerusCloud®, and its deep bench of regulatory and statistical experts. The MMS platform enables realistic modeling of oncology endpoints and allows stakeholders to explore different scenarios and decision thresholds, providing a clear view of the potential risks and benefits associated with acting on immature data in oncology clinical trials, and supporting more informed decisions earlier in the trial process.

“As timely access to innovative cancer therapies remains a key factor for patients, this initiative represents an important step toward optimal acceleration,” said Jeff Allen, PhD, President and CEO, Friends of Cancer Research. “At Friends, we work with key stakeholders to generate the evidence necessary to understand a problem, and develop data-driven policy solutions to address and overcome that problem; all while keeping the patients front of mind. We are excited to partner with MMS along with the consortium who bring a combination of statistical depth, real-world understanding of oncology trial design, and powerful simulation tools to help tackle these challenges.”

Improving Oncology Clinical Trials with the Right Technology and the Right Stakeholders

“Friends of Cancer Research has long been a catalyst for forward-thinking collaboration in oncology, and we are grateful they have trusted MMS to support this vital initiative,” said Uma Sharma, PhD, CEO at MMS. “Having supported several key oncology approvals, we are uniquely positioned to help model the right questions and deliver practical frameworks that will shape future regulatory guidance and support better decision-making across the field.”

“By combining our regulatory insight with advanced simulation capabilities, we are helping develop practical tools and decision frameworks that give developers greater confidence to act on early data, and ultimately improve access for patients,” added Aiden Flynn, Sr. VP Strategic Statistical Consulting at MMS.

The collaboration is expected to result in practical guidance and a simulation toolbox that can be shared broadly across the oncology community, helping stakeholders better anticipate the implications of interim OS data on regulatory decisions. By equipping researchers with a practical, scientifically robust toolkit, this program promotes a consistent and transparent approach to evaluating early survival signals, supports timely decision-making, and fosters continued innovation in cancer drug development.

SW North America Presents its New Modular and Automated Mobile Robot Cell for More Efficient Manufacturing and CNC Machining

0

SW North America, a leading provider of CNC machining centers and automation solutions, announced a new solution for modular automation: the Mobile S-Cell robot cell, a scalable unit that flexibly connects assembly, logistics, and machining stations. It supports manufacturing companies in the automated and efficient machining of a wide variety of components and order volumes, without rigid interlinking or complex integration.

SW’s Mobile S-Cell takes over automated processes such as handling workpieces and operating machining, washing, or assembly stations, thereby replacing manual processes in production.

“The S-Cell is a modular, mobile solution that gives manufacturers freedom to scale automation in a way that’s smarter, faster, and more efficient, and we’re proud to introduce the Mobile S-Cell to the North American market,” said Andrew Rowley, General Sales Manager at SW North America, Inc. “With its combination of high productivity, modular design, flexible application options, and end-to-end connectivity, the self-sufficient Mobile S-Cell fits seamlessly into modern manufacturing environments, especially where product diversity and dynamic production requirements are commonplace.”

Smart automation that moves with you

The S-Cell is mounted on a mobile carrier system and can be moved through the production environment using a driverless transport system (Mobile S-Wagon). The cell docks at the desired station, be it machining, washing, assembly, or a DMC laser station. An integrated robot with a gripping system takes the raw material from upstream storage stations, known as Mobile S-Storages, loads the machining station, and returns the workpieces after completing the process. The Mobile S-Storages are also automatically movable by the Mobile S-Wagon, and the workpieces are fed and removed independently of the cell.

“The flexibility of the S-Cell gives our customers a competitive edge,” said Rowley. “They can start small, scale quickly, and reconfigure as needs evolve while avoiding massive capital investments or rigid infrastructure.”

The patent-pending system supports payloads up to 120kg, or 264.5 lbs, and is compatible with both SW machines and third-party systems. Power and control are delivered by the connected station or through SW’s proprietary automation platform, which coordinates robots, transport systems, and job data.

Another advantage is that the cell only docks at a station temporarily, keeping the station freely accessible at all other times – for cleaning, maintenance or similar tasks. This keeps the system highly available and easy to integrate.

Modular production concept for greater flexibility and scalability

The strengths of the concept lie in its modularity and mobility. Companies can start with just a few modules and expand the system step by step as required. This provides a clear advantage over fixed production lines.

The Mobile S-Cell demonstrates its advantages particularly when component types and quantities change frequently, such as in the automotive industry with engine blocks, oil pans, or bushings. By using several cells in parallel the system runs consistently at high capacity, even with short cycle times of less than 10 minutes. Companies also benefit from the modular concept: they can start with just a few units and expand the system flexibly as needed.
