- Check out our newest member of the ICON Family, the Old School BR. Designed to be more under the radar than our established New School model. Same engineering, wrapped in a decidedly more vintage package!
no bronco will ever be a car you can stop to get gas with and not have people wanting to talk to you about it. the people who returned their broncos for that reason are silly, people would want to talk to you about your bronco even if you were driving a beat up rusted out bronco.
In High School I was working on a friend's '73 that we had tricked out with Bill Stroppe accessories and the top was off (summer, both tops, mine and broncos) and when I stopped at the light there was a car behind me that as I was turning one of them called out the other girl's phone number saying she wanted me to call her! It was fun but they were a little too young... now too old... strange ;-) kidding
Tanner you are so right! I have a '69 rust bucket that I drive regularly on weekends, no top, no doors, and I get all kinds of thumbs up and questions/comments about it. That's why I'm determined to make it mechanically perfect while driving it with a rotten body, THEN restoring the body, so I can maximize the fun quotient!
I have a question. As an exiled Nigerian prince without a telephone, how do you accept payment? I have 37,000,000 Nigerian Naira in a briefcase that my man servant can bring to you.
Do you have Bailey's in a shoe?
Hahahaah... I'm old Gregg!!!
Old Gregg. As a Nigerian you’ve just killed me. Lol
I think owners will still be getting plenty of attention with the Old School. The clean retro look is also eye catching.
you will get plenty of attention for having a first gen bronco, doesnt matter what it looks like. I think the people who bought them not knowing how much attention theyd get are sorta dumb or maybe just not car people
Tanner No one buys one of these regardless of build or condition being surprised by the attention. The price alone of any example keeps one who doesn’t get it from buying one. The naive act is just a act in my opinion.
Very sweet. Im a first generation K/5 guy and must admit you guys knocked it out of the park with this Bronco.
This one is so beautiful I’m having to pause this video to fill out a lottery ticket.
no matter what... its still gonna get attention at gas stations haha
Seriously? Hey, I just spent $$$$$$$$ on a super high-end custom hand made vehicle, and it's getting too much attention. Booo hooo. Go buy a Corolla.
Why is Ford not coming to you to design the new Bronco!!! My Dad had a 1970 Bronco which was used as a hunting and fishing vehicle. This old school takes me back to being a kid. My first vehicle was a Bronco II . I would love to have one of yours, maybe I will win the lotto and come see you!! Keep up the great work and I love watching your videos.
As always, another of the most beautiful autos in existence.
My best friend from grade school on was given a new 1973 Bronco and he and I added all the cool Bill Strope "Baha 1000" accesories, swing away rear tire/jerry can carrier, cut fenders w/fiberglass mud skirts, roll bar, front cow-catcher, bumper mounted large fog lamps, roof mounted lights, repaired/repainted bright orange after fixing body/roof roll-over (Christmas break late 70's). Remembering really wishing I had the $700 he sold it for to get a more practical Toyota truck for college.
Heck, a couple years ago I got a co-worker to buy a '74 Pantera instead of a new car (although at the time I thought he overpaid at $20K, but now they are up above $100K!)... glad he's happy!
As a FORD man my whole life, the vintage BRONCO, is still my favourite, a close, very close second is my 2012 SVT FORD Raptor
it is so rare to see an old bronco of any type, i think the attention is going to come regardless.
I've really dug this style. Ever since you guys built the first blue old school bronco a couple of years back. I liked it so much that I decided to take some ideas from you guys and apply them to my Bronco... I really wish ford would start reproducing them 66/67 galaxy dog dish hubcaps you were initially using.
Perfect execution Jonathan. You and your team build the absolute best Broncos. Will we ever see a U-14 half cab build ?
Absolutly beautiful
I feel that the wheels are an inch or two too wide. It seems disproportionate. I like the tire diameter, could be thicker though.
Dear Santa....... its me again
Another Home Run... Love It.. Should be a hit..
The Best Steering Vehicle that I ever owned--1977 Bronco, last of the small Bronco's....
I'll second that, beautiful! Just needs to be green! (:
A medium or darkish green with maybe lighter green (almost white?) wheels and trim? Classic woodsy hunter cabin camping look. Maybe some wood trim on the interior? Teak floors? Take a modern Yeti cooler and hide it in a wicker picnic basket case, fishing rod holders and throw a wooden canoe on the roof for good measure...
Yeah -- no background music! Thank you. (nice build!)
the wheels are huge! looks stupid
Ya ford should of stayed with old school cars an suv,an old style pickup new stuff looks like to me well kiddy toys old school was more quality built they took there time into it now it's not human workmanship it's Robots built very junk style 2018,is junkyard like computer control early models are not controlled by stupid chip.
Hi Jonathan,
I'm quite curious about the polyurea coating you use. I noticed you've said a few times that you use it as sound deadening. What kind of sound abatement do you typically see using polyurea? I'm sure coating thickness plays a role, but I wouldn't ask how thick you lay it on, trade secret and all. Love your passion and attention to every detail, hopefully one day I will be able to afford a derelict by you, but until then, your builds inspire me to do better work. Thanks for your time sir!
B E A U T I F U L ! ! ! Love it! But I have a question for you Jonathan. I'm sure I will get multiple, colorful answers from other viewers but I was wondering why you rarely put letters out on your BFG's. Just curious. Keep up the GREAT work!!
Super cool, love Old School Broncos!
Stunning, wonderful details.
What a wonderful rig and package.
Love It. but now you really need to design an "old school" stamped steel kind of center console. Perhaps painted a mix of white and body color with some vinyl / material padding on it. Your normal "gun case" unit looks way out of place in it. I continue to love your geeked out takes on most components.
I'm starting to run out of words guys! Simply Bravo!
Simply overpriced.
I like the small LED Dash Light at 5:53!!! Where can I buy it???
YESSSS!!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!
It looks like a well done 1/10 axial rc.
Bumperettes (sp?)!! And the third brake. Still an awesome Bronco.
Lololololol!
“Pretty straight FORD...” I get it!!!
Also “Eskooshin” must be a Cali thing for the word escutcheon?
I love your cars. I don't know how you let them go.
Love the old school look. At Fire It Up Garage we love Broncos! Check out our collection of Bronco Vids if you get a chance.
Nice idea.
Your brand is so famous it's getting people start struck.
are used making these capable to put plows on and to put the receivers on the back for trailer hitches and what would they be priced at please comment back looking for one cuz they plowed like Jeeps used to thank you very much and are you doing the single cab or just a full cap things I'd like to know
plaid.... I know some hate it, but there's a certain charm that it brings. Maybe because you just don't see it anywhere in the new cars (VW excepted)
Well done. I have a new favorite ICON.
Thomas Welcomer....My Mom's daily driver when I was growin up was a 74 Bronco Ranger, that exact same color combo, and the plaid interior was the same as well...apparently it was an option for the top of the line Ranger package....
Vastly prefer this to the normal BR, it's basically a Reformer but mass produced. Classic aesthetics are incredibly hard to beat.
What year is it?
Size wheels?
What about the seat fabric? It looks almost like a wool fabric.
This is the "mentality" of the owners of the LAND ROVER DEFENDER! They must be as of factory.
Although I do not like the color (my problem) is undoubtedly the best Ford Bronco Icon 4X4 manufactured.
Wow.
Awesome . Major improvement on the steering wheel . Way better fit!
I don't like a rag top. I like AC with a hardtop. A hardtop is universal for all the US States, especially the snowbelt states. Hey all your restored Broncos are nice especially the dark blue one (BR#52) with the very nice leather blue interior … Personally, I think that one was your best bronco! I would buy a raffle ticket on it. Ha!
Engine,axles and drivetrain? Beautiful job!
You're a bad mo-fo Jonathan Ward. Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good...
LOVE the aesthetic!!! Can you do an Old School Thriftmaster? Who doesn't love a bright red vintage Chevy pickup? Or shiny dark green?!
I love it. How much and where can you purchase one. About time someone brought back one of the best fords ever made. My name is Eric. Thank you . Again awesome. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great Old School Trucks
🇺🇸😎👍🏽
👌🏽😅
Still got my old AFX red bronco from the 70’s
Do you allow shop tours for us to look & drool at your work 😉
Jonathan: Similar question to the one I posted on the extra beastly FJ44 video; specifically, does this thing have locking diffs? If I were the customer, I would want them for sure (though I know you are partial to limited slip units on some projects). Super helpful when you let us know either way. For that matter, in cases where there are lockers, it would also be great if you mentioned whether they are air vs electric.
Beautiful! Perfect!
I think it a bit of irony that John thinks that people get too much attention from HIS idea of what a Bronco should be (Icon) so he then re-invents his Icon Bronco to be less Icon (or look the same as it did when Ford made it) and then calls it new? You just copied an original Bronco with a different color palette, different Ford engine, and drivetrain and branded it Old School. Nice truck.
Beautiful trucks...but your business model is greed in its purest form: the prices are ridiculous. There are lots of brand-new 4X4 vehicles out there for less than six figures-plus...and just as or more capable. I guess there really is a sucker born every minute.
Finnaly! Propper bumpers, small decals, retro feeling!
If you could hide the screws on the lights, that would add to the aesthetic. It's a bit of Chip Foose's approach to retro classics. I hope Ford contacts you when building the new 2020 Bronco.
How is this even old school without the white tire letters facing out????? That is a must
Lovely, it looks better than when the Bronco first came out especially the wheels and hubcap combination, I don't think you can improve on perfection.
How much does an ICON product like this cost??? Is it more than 100K???
I like corduroy...corduroy upholstery would be murder in one of these Broncos. Earth tones.
Another nice build Jonathan. I really like the stock look and almost stock color. Would've liked a peek under the hood.
Do you have any square Chevy K5 Blazers in the works? Would really like to see one of those.
Jonathan Ward , Thanks for the reply. I've seen those, and they were really nice Jonathan. Just what I would expect from you!
I had a K5 Blazer, that's why I asked. What a beast in the woods!
We had a lot of fun with it! Lol
@@ICON4x4Design Pictures? Road test of the C/Ks? That would be so fabulous!
You have a great eye for detail and finish, Mr. Ward.
Are you going to do any more derelicts? They are my favorite
Could you do an “old school” version of your Thrift Master? Could be intriguing.
Me sacaría de muchos aprietos en el pueblo cuando diluvia...jaja buena máquina
I wanted a Bronco when I was 10 years old because my mother told me she used to have one in college, although hers was a Bronco II.
I love this one not to over the top the only thing that I do not like and we see it with most trucks and cars these days the central armrest glove box the thing that I like about old cars and trucks is if you park it and someone parks next close to the drivers door you cannot get in to it but old cars you just go around to the other side and get it nothing in the middle so you can just slide over.
Love the build but the way over sized wheels wreck the "old school" esthetic.
Love it except for the console - too original Star Trek angular.
Thanks for sharing this video beautiful bronco.
I much prefer the look of the old school. Very clean.
Love the Old School look so much better than😊
Reeves drove a bronco in Point Break in the 90s so this is not the first restored Bronco.
I'm really scratching my head on this one. I guess it's because I'm poor. 1st world problems.
Very nice! Thinking old school here, can you get it in a stick?
I’m interested in it . I need to find out more about it 🤔
just all the best to you .love all you do..
coolest one you've ever done.
Old school? Put some dents, scratches and rust on the body.
As always amazing work!!!
VERY NICE! I love it!
at that price do not leave it anywhere (armed guards)
venomous lizard....
The Icon badge kind of looks like it says Tron
Do you used the same factory frame for the Icons?
I like the blue you picked and the white hard top. I would had picked a different interior. I like a solid color rather than the plaid insert and I am a fan of leather. Just like the smell and feel of leather other than that I like the changes you made. I have always been a fan of the older short Bronco, Scouts, 60’s and 70’s Jeep Wagoneers/Cherokee’s. Is your Bronco 4 wheel drive.
dphotos...that color combo was stock Ford colors, and the plaid interior was offered as an option on the top of the line Ranger package...
How much? I live in canada, can i have one??????
I Too , Like it but will never have it.
Mike Fifer From the website...
"The Icon Bronco ($150,000-$195,000 + $7,500-$15,000 for the vintage Bronco)..."
Not many people will. 200k for a bronco?? 😂😂🤣😂
My point exactly.
Thanks , Mike
Their cars are for a certain wealthy clientele. Not many folks can afford the Icon brand.
old skoul ROCKS!!! #keepontruckin
\
Hell yeah! Love it.
AS SOON AS I HIT THE LOTTO I NEED 3 TRUCKS BUILT
Aircraft rated vinyl? LOL!
Rims and stance makes it look goofy
Where can I buy one? I have cash!!!!!!
Ridiculously over priced .....
Please make a half cab truck build
Jonathan Ward i hope its a diesel man, 5.0 is a sweet engine but some classic options would be nice, 302(363 dart block) 351(stroked) cummind 4 cylinder diesel would be a real gem, ad some cargo lights, led rocker lights, bucket seats , 4-6 speed manual, console, exhaust brake,
Jonathan Ward i know that is alot more work for you since your BR is so molded around the 5.0 , we need a real truck engine with some creeping torque gearing
Dude! This Bronco is inspiring
No guitar backround music. Excellent.
diggin the new intro
