It should come as no surprise that everyone at Cool Material is a huge fan of just about everything that comes out of the ICON 4×4 shop. That said, we’re particularly big fans of the ICON Derelict Projects thanks to their combination of vintage style and patina with modern performance. The latest Derelict Projects vehicle to join the likes of the ICON Derelict 1960 Willys Overland Wagon is one of the most sought-after Ford Broncos ever created—the Bronco Roadster. If you’re not familiar with the Bronco Roadster, it’s an ultra-rare Bronco produced for only one model year and was sold without doors or a roof. Jonathan Ward of ICON 4×4 gave it modern internals like a 5.0-liter Mustang V8, but kept the exterior completely original for that throwback vibe. If you’re not convinced, check out the Bronco running with a herd of wild horses.
