Are there too many restomodded Ford Broncos on the market? Some would argue that there are, but as far as we’re concerned, the world is a better place with more classic Broncos being modernized and kept on the roads rather than retired and left to rust. Kindred Motorworks is one of the most well-known experts in all things Bronco and, for Black Friday, has unveiled a particularly special example known as the Black ICE Edition.
So, what makes this restored and upgraded Bronco stand out from all the others? For starters, all five examples to be produced will be finished in gloss black paint, making them look extremely stealthy.

Kindred Motorworks started out with its existing Bronco Trail Edition restomod. In addition to adding black paint, the special edition model rocks a set of 18-inch black Method forged aluminum wheels, distinctive lettering and badges, and wood trim throughout the interior.
Power comes courtesy of Ford’s beloved 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated Coyote V8. In this spec, the engine delivers 460 hp and is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Kindred has also installed a Dana 44 front differential, an Atlas 2 transfer case, a 35 spline extreme duty rear axle, and a Ford 9-inch rear differential. These upgrades should ensure the Bronco is up for any challenges owners may throw at it, even though we suspect the five units being produced will never be driven along difficult off-road terrain.
Kindred plans to open the order books for the special model on Black Friday and each one of the five will cost an eye-watering $214,000. That’s an incredible amount of money, but it’s not the most expensive Bronco restomod we’ve seen. Last year, a firm by the name of Gateway Bronco unveiled a modified example known as the Luxe-GT, priced at around $400,000. The US firm’s flagship Broncos can cost upwards of $800,000.
