Details

Nicknamed \"Phoenix,\" this custom 1973 Gen 1 Ford Bronco four-wheel-drive SUV is a full custom frame-off build with over 2,000 hours spent on fabrication, bodywork and paintwork. The powerplant consists of a 465hp Gen 3 5.0-liter Coyote crate engine mated to the Ford 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission with the \"Pro\" Atlas twin-stick dual-range transfer case rated up to 750hp. The engine bay features a custom-made cold-air intake, remote oil reservoir, custom-painted LED backlit engine cover to match the body design, relocated hydro-boost unit for optimal fitment and custom headers that mate up to a custom dual Flowmaster exhaust. \"Phoenix\" features a custom Currie front Dana 44 with high pinion and custom Currie 9-inch rear, both with Truetrac 31-spline chromoly yokes and axles. Drilled and slotted 13-inch Wilwood disc brakes are installed all around for stopping performance. The total 5.5-inch lift provides stance without sacrificing optimal drivability on or off the street. The exterior features Amp Research steps, allowing for easy entry and exit. Because the doors are equipped with quick-release hinges for fast removal, if desired, the steps are operated by a controller that allows for manual control, so the driver can retract and extend the steps even without the doors. It has 35-inch BFGoodrich M/T tires wrapped around custom Trailready beadlock HD aluminum pressure-cast wheels to match the look and design of the body. The exterior paint colors are PPG Porsche Lava Orange and Wimbledon White. It also features white stripes embedded along the sides and in the inner grille, along with hand-pinstriped in white \"Ford\" tailgate letters. The inner rollbar and dash are also painted white to match the whole color scheme. With all Paradise Custom builds, the underside and full body interiors come bed-lined, as well as fully insulated on the interior for sound and temperatures. The dash sports a Dakota Digital gauge cluster with the style befitting the \"Phoenix\" aviator call sign, along with a Vintage Air system to keep all occupants cool or warm as the weather dictates. The full custom leather upholstery by Unique Upholstery is completed with custom seat insert designs, heating/cooling/massaging seats for the driver, passenger and rear seat occupants. The custom center console has been designed to optimize the convenience to the driver and houses a double-DIN audio system interface. The dash pad is wrapped with the same high-end leather used on all of the custom seats, along with the custom panel interior door covers. A full-length custom down firing subwoofer behind the back seat provides the full audio system for the bass needed to enjoy music options, along with the finishing touches of leather-wrap design. Power windows, power locks, interior lighting, Bluetooth rock lighting and a powder-coated frame round out some of the more notable upgrades. The OEM frame and glove box cover have matching OEM VINs. The Bronco is registered, titled and insured as a 1973 Ford Bronco.
