A once pristine 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor has appeared for auction through Copart after being involved in what appears to be a very serious crash.
Details about the accident the off-roader was involved in are unknown, other than the obvious fact that it was involved in some kind of collision that decimated the front of the Ford. However, unlike so many vehicles that end up being auctioned off with no hope of ever returning to the road, this Bronco Raptor can probably be repaired quite easily.

Images show that the entire front fascia of the off-roader is missing, including the bumper, headlights, grille, and the front quarter panels. While it’s possible these parts were all torn off in the crash, we think it is more likely that they were badly damaged and later removed at the auction yard. The absence of these parts provides us with an unimpeded view of the engine bay and it’s not a pretty sight.
We can see that some serious damage has been done to the front crash structure of the Ford. Additionally, the radiator is missing completely and there are a bunch of hoses and pipes hanging loose. Interestingly, the listing states that the Bronco Raptor can run and drive, meaning that while the engine isn’t very nice to look at, it is still operational. With some repairs and a new radiator, it could conceivably run as good as new.
Elsewhere you will notice that the front, side, and seat airbags were deployed in the crash. The speedometer is also stuck on 140 mph and the odometer confirms the Ford was only driven 62.4 miles (100 km) at the time of the crash.
At the time of writing, a highest bid of $15,000 had been placed on the off-roader. We suspect it’ll sell for quite a lot more than that.
