YOU have to give it to America, when it comes to wild four-wheel drive builds. In Australia, our automotive regulations are ruled with an iron fist, making it extremely difficult and expensive to create one-off machines. It's possible, but certainly not to the scale of what you can build and drive daily in the US of A. That's also why restomodding older 4WDs has become so popular. It's the best of both worlds with retro styling cobbled together with modern engines and tech. Why? Because you can, that's why.
Take one look at this 1969 Ford Bronco, and tell us you don't want one. Not only does this beast owned by Isaac P (he's asked his last name not to be published) look absolutely stunning, it's got the offroad and performance creds to match.
That's the joy of building a one-off creation such as this weapon of a Bronco, you can make it what you want rather than what a manufacturer thinks you want. The process certainly hasn't been smooth sailing, which almost goes without saying considering no vehicle build is easy, but the results and amount of effort involved really speak for themselves. A uniquely cool offroader, that is just as at home on the Vegas Strip as it is on the Rubicon.
When asked about the build, Cameron Chin the owner of Nefarious Kustoms had this to say: "All of these custom touches result in a very classic package, preserved with a fresh modern take. The 460hp Coyote Engine and 6-speed box provide the power and reliability one would want in a classic restomod, the coil-over suspension is supple with great road manners, and the interior is as comfortable as any modern luxury vehicle." It's hard to argue with that, and I have to say, I really want one.
