• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

This may have shown up in other places since it's been around the shows, but it's just so cool with so many nice touches I had to post it. I love the bumpers and how they painted the grill past the flat vertical face and half way out to the edge. License plate delete from tailgate and moved to bumper.

I wonder how they arrive at the asking price? Double the cost of the build or just throw a number out there and hope it sticks??:?

I can tell you I'm doing a premier level resto-mod and I have $80,000 into it with me doing the vast majority of work. If I had paid the shop to do it, it would easily tack on at least 1000 hours at $65/hr. That's another $65,000. And mine doesn't have anywhere near the detail this truck has. I would say Their asking price is break even or loss. It's a whole different world for these Broncos.

Look at ICON, Gateway, Velocity, or Classic Ford Broncos. Not as custom, $150K-$250K.

I like this one better than any I've seen at any price. I'd just be afraid to drive it anywhere!

Definitely agree.. You almost never get everything you put into a really high priced rig

Just wow. Impressive. Love the dash. Love 99% of it. Only thing I don't really like is the fender flare as it's a bit over the top and a bit ugly to my eyes. Personally would have preferred the "rear molded like the front" method.

That's a pretty amazing truck but they can't paint the FORD on the tailgate or grille black to make it pop?

The only problem I see with buying something like this is reselling it. We have all seen it where the owner takes a bath when he wants to move on to something else. Not only Bronco's, but generally all heavily modded, one off vehicles.

It is nice, but not $175,000 nice, for me anyway.

it's pretty but not the direction I'd go.

I thought the 4R70W is a four speed.

If you can afford to pay $175k (likely cash) for a toy, I don't think you are concerned with a bath. It's all relative

It was a promo truck built for Royal Purple (notice the D44 cover and the oil filters) and had many sponsors supplying parts. So it came out of a marketing budget/business write off. BTW, you can now get the bumpers, but they are pricey.

Definetly a work of art, certainly not for everyone, but some fine attention to detail was involved in that build. The lack of power windows caught my attention and not sure where they are hiding the windshield wipers.

Ford should take notice of this and make it the new 2020 Bronco design. That thing is a work of art, very well done.
