As you’re well aware, the Ford Motor Company is currently developing the no-nonsense Bronco Warthog that will be offered with 37-inch rubber shoes. The 1975 model we’re going to cover today, which is a custom build from head to toe, levels up to 38-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers complemented by four-wheel Wilwood brake calipers and 14-inch rotors.
Bronco specialist Velocity Restorations took the original axles out in favor of a Dana 44 up front and a Ford-style True Hi9 that offers the highest driveshaft clearance possible. Four-link rear suspension with coil springs and a stainless-steel fuel tank also need to be mentioned, along with Centerline wheels, JW Speaker LED headlights, and the PPG paintwork.
Pop the hood of this gentle giant, and you’ll find a cone-style air filter that feeds a 5.0-liter V8 with a 2.9-liter supercharger on top. Both the Coyote and Whipple are painted in radioactive green to match the undercarriage hardware and six-point roll cage. A six-speed automatic transmission sends the goodies down to the wheels, and the engine breathes out a little better than stock, thanks to custom headers and exhaust.
Moving on inside, the interior can be described as beautifully simple. The Ididit steering column is backed up by a three-spoke steering wheel, the leather on the seats and door cards features hexagonal-patterned green contrast stitching, and the center console is joined by a pair of cup holders.
A folding rear bench, a digital gauge cluster, the Alpine audio system, Vintage air conditioning, and custom-fabricated panels for the rear quarters add to the specialness of the Bronco, as do the headlined hardtop and power windows. The finishing touches would be the power steps, dual-battery setup, front and rear sway bards, Velocity bumpers, and LED rock lights.
The Bronco specialist hasn’t mentioned the asking price for this jaw-dropping restomod, which is certain to command more than $100,000 given the high-quality parts and the world-class attention to detail.
