The ebay add says used reconditioned, $195,000
It's not clear to me if they're starting with an original vehicle and "restomodding" it or if they are build a whole new vehicle. Anybody know which?
The same ones that did the "patina" body with modern powertrain? I was not impressed with the quality of there work. Lots of "good enough" or "it works" jobs.
But if you have the money, and know that you will keep spending it, good for you.
Icon is not half finished. The derelict series is mechanically done right, not just done and functioning at the moment. I have seen enough of Icon's work to know nothing is glossed over.

Gateway was at SEMA this year as well...
Are there really that many people out there that have $100K +to spend on a Bronco
If I had the money I might pay 100k for a completely custom EB with all new parts from a reputable custom shop. I don’t see how these places are getting 100k for so-so work and slapped together builds.
If it's all new, not even starting with an old VIN (or do they??),
how does it not have to meet all of the fed requirements of a 2020??
I believe this rule or law allows builders to sell them as brand new vehicles with a new vin. I thought I had read one of the mustang builders was even continuing sequential mustang vins from the 60s. This is different than what most are doing now which is buying fixable trucks and scrapping them to use original titles on new frames and bodies. This practice always seemed to skate the edge of the law in some states and for a home builder some states frowned upon it without doing a state assigned vin and title.You can now manufacture like 350 cars a year that don’t have to meet any safety regs
They still have to meet emission regs though
$6k for a $700 soft Top ???
Bwa ha ha ha
What do these people do ?
Just buy the part and add a zero on the price ?
And why is Ford licensing it ?
Why would any shop pay ford a nickel for permission to rebuild an old ford car ?
It’s not like a shop , or anyone can’t take an old car and rebuilt it and sell it ?
Is this the same assholes at the same Ford motor company that sues anyone and everyone for using “Ford” in their advertising ?
Remember fordfuelinjection.com saga ???
