Vehicle description
This custom 1969 Ford Bronco known as "Iceman" is a fully reengineered frame-off Resto-Mod build with more than 1,400 hours of fabrication, metalwork and finishing, beginning with a powertrain consisting of a 465hp Gen 3 5.0-liter Coyote crate engine paired with Ford's 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission and an Atlas Pro twin-stick transfer case rated for up to 750hp. The engine bay incorporates a custom-painted cold-air intake, remote oil reservoir, custom-painted engine cover, stainless Borla exhaust and refined braided-line routing. A 5.5-inch lift supports the suspension and chassis, complemented by 35-inch tires on powder-coated true beadlock Fuel wheels connected to a Currie Dana 44 front differential, Currie 9-inch rear axle, 4.10 gears, 31-spline axles and a Truetrac limited-slip differential. Braking is supplied by slotted Baer four-wheel discs with an ABS Power Brake master cylinder and a remote reservoir booster. The exterior is finished in BMW Alpine White with Satin Black trim and a Satin Black steel hardtop, and features custom billet body molding, flush windshield glass, shaved wipers, a shortened front bumper, raised front and rear bumpers to eliminate body-lift gaps, and extended metal skirting contoured to the frame. The hardtop incorporates four billet retractable lifting points, reinforced steel structure and custom upholstered removable side panels. The underside and interior floors were bed-lined and insulated for durability and thermal management, while the frame, steering components, suspension hardware and wheels were professionally powder-coated. The interior features full leather upholstery with double diamond stitching, heated, cooled and massaging front and rear seats, a wrapped leather dash, custom headliner, door panels, rear panels and a Dakota Digital gauge cluster. Climate control is provided by Restomod Air with billet vents, and a custom center console houses a double-DIN multimedia system powering a Morel premium audio system with a down-firing subwoofer enclosure and amplifier rack. Additional equipment includes power windows, custom interior lighting, Bluetooth-controlled engine-bay lighting and professionally loomed precision wiring. Recognized as a 2024 SEMA Battle of the Builders contender and a 2025 Barrett-Jackson Cup Top 50 competitor, "Iceman" represents a high-level execution of Gen 1 Bronco craftsmanship.
