Within the classic car restoration community, you'll find a wide variety of opinions regarding engine swaps. Some restorers insist on keeping the numbers-matching drivetrain for complete originality, while others don't mind upgrading to a higher-performance V8 from the same model year. Then there are resto-modders who drop in a newer fuel-injected engine, or even an engine from a different manufacturer. But there's no engine swap more controversial than replacing a classic car's combustion engine with electric motors. That's exactly what ICON did with its new EV Bronco series, which combines timeless looks with an all-electric powertrain.

If you're handy with old vehicles, something like say a first-generation Ford Bronco could be your daily driver. They're simple and straightforward to work on. You don't have to be a computer genius. They're analog instruments of on- and off-road mayhem. With typically lots of access in the engine bay, within the interior, and underneath the truck, especially should there be enhanced ground clearance, there aren't really any tight spaces that make projects more difficult than they need to be to accomplish.

Classic Industries was at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca to witness and celebrate 50 years of vintage auto racing history with the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion 2024. When Classic Industries' humble scribe (namely me) learned about this vintage racing extravaganza, he knew where he wanted to be from August 14 through August 17, 2024.

Some collectible cars and trucks lead charmed lives. They have been driven, pampered, and renewed over the years by the people who have been and who currently are their caretaker. Such is the case with a very solid 1977 Ford Bronco Ranger, owned for the last 16 years by Mr. Dave Kunz of Glendale, California.

Before the professional sports acronym G.O.A.T. came to mean "Greatest Of All Time," it was the internal project name of the Ford Bronco and stood for “Goes Over Any Terrain.” With the advantage of 20/20 hindsight, that project code name was very apropos. Thanks to the involvement of some pretty sharp individuals like Lee Iacocca and Donald Frey, there was a pretty strong chance that G.O.A.T. would be successful. History tells us that these are the very same two Ford employees who developed and created the magnificent Mustang behind Henry Ford II’s back. They also assisted Carroll Shelby with the Ford GT40 program that enabled Ford to outrun every automotive manufacturer, including Ferrari, at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. They repeated this astonishing feat in 1967, 1968, and 1969.
