Posted by Barrett-Jackson
This 4-wheel-drive custom 1968 Ford Bronco received a rotisserie restoration by Carmichael of Prescott, AZ. It features a torque tamer on the rear axle to handle the power of the 435hp Coyote V8 engine mated to a 6R80 6-speed automatic transmission. A Dana 20 transfer case takes the power to the axles through custom drivelines by Orin Nash. James Duff provides a completely tuned 2.5-inch lift suspension system to include quick-release front and rear sway bars, T-Rex tight-radius arms and Heim-joint steering system with adjustable track bars front and rear. Stopping power is provided by a hydro-boost 4-wheel slotted disc brake system. An E-Stopp has been installed for security as well as an emergency brake system.
The 1968 all-metal body is a canvas for Ford’s new vintage Area 51 color, and the Bronco is rolling on a full set of five 20-inch Fuel Covert D716 wheels wrapped in Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires. LED exterior lighting is completed by three 7-inch PIAAs, a 16-inch DV8 single-row light bar, two 3-inch flush-mount DV8 LED spot cube lights. The interior features heated low-back bucket seats cloaked in German wool square-weave houndstooth. The roll bar is padded and covered in black Sunbrella to ensure the occupants’ safety remains unscathed by the weather. A Kenwood Bluetooth touchscreen stereo with Apple CarPlay and Android Audio has a 5-channel amplifier with six speakers, and the cabin remains comfortable in any weather with a Vintage Air system.
