@Peter there's actually one about 10 minutes down the road here. I'm kinda tired of seeing em in everything too
we have a '66... love broncos... hate chevy motors in ford cars tho... if i had a nickel for every time i saw a '32 coupe with a smallblock id b a millionare... its just not the way to do it...
Yeah it definitely uses a ford engine. GM doesn't even have a 5.0 with those specs on motor trend they say its using the ford 5.0
Jeremy, no it wouldn't! A friend and I built a rock climber based on a Suzuki Samurai with high dollar equipment and at no time did it reach 90K, not close. With this you are buying the look and the name.
@Cho Glad u asked! Consider these are likely hand-built w/absolutely top-of-the-line parts. Note the Dynatrac Pro Rock axles, powder-coated body, built-into-the-bumper winch, etc. Were u to try building this in your garage, it'd cost u the same
With over 400hp, Robby? This wasn't built by your high school buddies in shop class with a battery welder and scrap metal. I'd drive this at over 50mph OFF Pavement
Not to mention licensing the Bronco name from Ford. It's only because Icon had established its business w/the FJ products and CJ3B that they can pull this off for $90k in a profitable way.
The shocks are expensive, the crate motor, the axles are about $4k each. Those wheels & tires probably run $1500, winch is about $1500. Find a rust free 66 Bronco body or re-pro body & frame for less than $5k. Yeah, just adding up parts will run $30k
This can be built cheaper than say 30,000$. May take a year or so but could be done. Oh and I love the how jobs are made comment.
Yes, it is a lot high price. But, the price of a 5.0 crate motor plus the suspension is 4-link, it still needs the rear fenders cut out for clearance.
When he says cheaper he means 80000 cheaper. This is over priced by a very very large amount of money.
Umm...usually you can build things for less than you buy them, that's how jobs are created.
$90,000 for this. I could build this cheaper. $90,000 and I could think of something better to spend it on. This looks like it should have a call of duty badge on it.
I think that these old bronco's are the coolest 4x4's ever! But Damn, how are they gonna put a junk GM motor in it! They could have put the coyote 5.0 in it or the v6 eco boost and gotten the same numbers, but without making a mockery of the original by putting a GM engine in it! Or
u could buy a 1977 for $2,000 put $20,000 into it and ud have the same truck but with $68,000 to spare lol
Hey Ed Turner it's not a GM motor u dingleberry it's the 5.0 from a mustang
If you look closely at the intake manifold you can easily compare to fords new coyote motor used in the new mustang gt I only say this because I'm a bowtie fan and that's not a general motors engine in there.
