    Saw this on my Ford forum. Pretty cool. I always thought the Icon 4x4 stuff was wicked, and this is another neat concept.

    How do they get around the crash testing requirements for modern vehicles?

    This brings up an interesting trend - a small but growing group of consumers to reject the insane levels of technology/automation/assistance and hark back to the simpler days of automotive performance. Im in that group as well.

    As crappy as 70's Dodge electrics and steering were, I still love driving my '78 Ramcharger. Nothing bings, tweets, whistles or talks to you when you are driving.. Of course I'd never hear it over all the rattles and squeaks that is a product of the lacklustre workmanship of the 1970's proud UAW Chrysler workforce.
    Now will reintroduction tank the value of every legitimate first gen Bronco? Remember all the kerfuffle among the collectors and clubs when companies started reintroduction the Porsche collectables and what not.

    Well one of the models will meet that with a 347 stroker.

    Otherwise it’s all modern as it comes with coyote powertrains.

    Prices, an eye watering 120-180USD. That’s just not even...

    I keep thinking about a Coyote power train for my 77 Ford. Very tempting if I actually keep the thing and want to get into debt again, lol.

    everyone goes holy shit about the price, until they see how much it costs to basically rebuild one of these from scratch into a working/moving vehicle with all the bugs worked out. if you were to attempt a build like this on your own i'm sure with just the basics you'd be at 100k USD no questions asked. Add in the wilwood brake kit and the suspension and wheels and seats and engine and it gets expensive quick. 8k for just the engine alone, and that doesn't come close to having everything needed to make it run.
