As every fisherman can testify, no place on earth compares to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Its coastline and coral reefs are the most beautiful in the world, and it is the ideal environment for the angler in search of magnificent game-fish. To get to a particular remote narina or fishing camp where a boat awaits a small party of vacationing fisherman for a deep sea fishing excursion, "Marlin Adventures" loads all the necessary equipment and accessories on the roof of a trusty old 1966 Ford Bronco.

Introduced in the summer of 1965 for the 1966 model year, this was Ford's first Ford Bronco. And, in those early days, the 4X4 was used primarily by outdoorsman who needed a sure-footed vehicle that wouldn't get stuck on beaches, muddy roads and sheer wilderness. Decorated on each door with a map of Australia and a leaping marlin, your model is crafted with fishing poles and a cooler on the roof rack. This precise replica captures the details that made the original Bronco a classic - including the full suspension and the exhaust system in the chassis. This intricately detailed model is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
