I’m at all times hit with a blast of nostalgia at any time when I spot a Ford Bronco out within the wild. In the event you ask me, it’s one of many automobiles most synonymous with retro Americana as I bear in mind it, whether or not it’s the originals from the ‘60s or from that new wave of reissues they launched a few years in the past. Nonetheless, what Broncos have by no means actually been for me are fashionable, and that’s a very good factor… or so I assumed.
Kindred Motorworks has made it their enterprise to restomod basic Broncos (amongst different American rides), and lots of of them have been pretty modernized. Nonetheless, the newest Black ICE version is arguably their most modern-looking but. Oh yeah, and it’s their first-ever limited-edition mannequin.
Again in Black
Based mostly on the Trail Edition restomod already in Kindred’s lineup, the Black ICE version is a murdered-out model of the off-road-ready Bronco, which the Bay Space-based agency constructed utilizing the first-gen automobiles from 1966 to 1975. Restricted to simply 5 examples, this all-black model is as stealthy as they arrive and virtually a counterpoint to the enjoyable, frolicking Broncos of yore.
Constructed for journey, the car will get the aforementioned shiny black paint, a set of 18-inch Technique cast aluminum wheels and hubcaps in black, and special-edition black badging. The inside continues the pattern with black-colored wooden trim.
The Remainder of the Specs
By way of what’s beneath the hood, we’ve got the identical 5.0L Coyote V8 engine that’s beneath the usual Path Version, together with a 10-speed automated transmission, able to 460hp. Different modifications from the inventory Bronco enable this factor to be fairly adventurous (that’s, if you wish to take a $200,000+ car off-roading), together with an Atlas 2 switch case, a Dana 44 entrance differential with Chromoly axles, a Ford 9” rear differential with 35 Spline Excessive Obligation rear axles, BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, and loads of different upgrades.
