1968 Ford Bronco BR ICON #32 Description
This vintage Bronco was built by ICON. It is #32 in their extremely
limited series. If you do not already know about the ICON BR restored
and modified Ford Bronco's, they are simply the best in the world. A
perfect marriage of vintage styling and modern drivability. I have
owned several ICON vehicles over the years, and their quality is unique
in the Bronco (arguably the entire automotive) community. Go to their
website to understand more, or simply Google it. An unanticipated
business opportunity has come up, resulting in my need to sell off a few
of my nonessential items. This is unfortunate, because I waited a long
time for this vehicle. Only in my possession for about one month, and it
will be missed. However, business must come first so I am offering it up for sale.
Current wait time for an ICON BR is about three years. I am not
selling this at a premium over the cost of the build, unlike a few I have
seen sell. Beyond the "normal" ICON build quality, I have designed and
built dozens of vehicles myself, and I chose to have this ICON sent up to
my interior designer, the legendary Sid Shavers, to have my idea for the
interior design realized. So in addition to all of the bespoke ICON
interior stainless and CNC'ed trim, Sid did the carpet in German square
weave with leather binding, and the seats were custom designed and
covered in fine Italian leather, with perforated inserts. He hand
wrapped and stitched the steering wheel and dash pad in leather. The
ICON laser cut stainless door and cargo panel designs were used, with
the matching leather used in the inserts.
