HAMEL, Ill. — "The Ford Bronco has a huge following," said Seth Burgett.

Gateway Bronco dives into the rust and the dust to restore and revitalize.

"Instead of bringing these to the cruncher or letting them rust away we bring them back. Back to a modern time," said Burgett.

A Gateway version of the Ford Bronco uses some old manufacturing processes.

"We build it on an assembly line, so once the pipe is filled, we have roughly 12 broncos or so in production. So, off the end of the production line one is coming off a week," said Seth

They are hand built. They start at $125,000 and go all the way up to $180,000 for a vehicle that has 600 horsepower.

Gateway Bronco is located at 6464 Staunton Road in Hamel, Illinois.
