Icon restomods usually The original look of the classic car is retained, but the California company’s latest creation incorporates some modern styling elements.
The Icon New School Edition 1975 Ford Bronco features a color scheme never seen before from the factory. The satin green vinyl wrap contrasts with the black powder-coated trim and angular bumpers, which Icon hopes will set this Bronco apart from the more common period and retro-inspired color schemes.
The exterior is sleek and matches the mechanical upgrades Icon makes to each of its modified cars. This Bronco rides on a custom chassis with a coil-spring suspension, Brembo brakes, and BF Goodrich K02 all-terrain tires on 18-inch aluminum wheels.
Power comes from a 5.0-liter V-8 engine from a modern Ford Mustang GT, tuned for 440 horsepower and 44 pound-feet of torque. The engine is coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission and a four-wheel drive system with a 2-speed transfer case. Power is then sent through a Dana 44 front axle with a locking differential and a Dana 60 rear axle.
The all-black interior includes suede leather upholstery and an Alcantara headliner. The rear seats are removable, as are the wool carpet floor mats, which are lined with sound-deadening material. The Icon also adds air conditioning, front seat heaters, and power windows and door locks.
New School Edition Broncos like this one start at $275,000, but the price of a specific vehicle will vary depending on the options selected. If you want a more retro look, Icon will also build your Bronco in period-appropriate colors. The company also does conversions of Toyota Land Cruisers and Chevrolet Thriftmaster pickups, or whatever else a wealthy customer can dream up.
