And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Breathing New Life Into A Family Legend: The ICON 4×4 1968 Custom Bronco
Their newest Old School creation, the magnificentICON 4×4 1968 Custom Bronco, is a profound love letter to a family’s unflappable, mountain-climbing billygoat.
Saw one of these on the street for the first time yesterday. Short wheelbase. High center of gravity. More fun off road than on. But with a mid six figure price tag, I'm guessing not many will ever see a dirt road.
it is top heavy for sure. even at low speeds. I flipped one with no top doing about 20 MPH on a built up dirt road when a flock of sheep ran out in front of me. When I stepped on the brakes the right front brake grabbed and to the right I went. I am lucky to be here. (God is good.)
I’m cool with people spending their own cash on whatever level of luxury they want. What I find curious is they’re going back 50+ years to buy this type of design which current automotive fashion has abandoned.
Very nice but starting at $299,000 is a non-starter.
ReplyDelete"starting at"....at that price there should be no extras.

ReplyDeleteWhere? In Minneapolis and was a Somali driving?
DeleteUgly wheels and would never have a 10 speed auto,give me a built 351 Cleveland with if it must be a auto extra clutch pack C-6.
ReplyDeleteThis vehicle is just too nice,would always worry about it,that said,expensive but quality work.
At highway speeds that thing will flip over faster than a $2 hooker during Fleet Week.....
