The color scheme is almost as beautiful as the original.

Rod Hall was an expert in off-road racing and drove the Ford Broncoto class victories and overall wins in the event that is now known as the Baja 1000. Abimelec has restored the appearance of this rugged vehicle by combining it with a rendering that combines it with the 2021 Bronco.

The original Bronco’s proportions are preserved, so the 1960s livery suits the new Bronco very well. The vehicle is primarily red, white and blue in color, with a bulging black hood that breaks up the patriotic scheme.

The Rod-Hall-inspired Bronco rides five-spoke wheels on big tires with large tires. There’s also a slightly higher ride height for those who want to go off-road. The windshield and bumper are lit by KC lamps. The roof and windows are gone. Rear seats have been removed. Some of the space is now occupied by a full-sized spare tire.

Abimelec Designs envisions an off-road monster using the 5.2-liter supercharged engine from the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. It would have 760 horsepower and 625 pound-feet (847 Nm) of torque. This is a significant upgrade to the twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost with 231 hp (231kW) and 400lb-ft (542Nm) of torque.

Ford already showed off its off-road racing version of the Bronco (gallery atop). According to Ford, the vehicle was made in honor of Rod Hall’s 1969 Baja 1000 win. Shelby, his granddaughter, drove the SUV in a portion the 2019 event.

Modern Bronco R featured a new suspension that had 14 inches of travel at the front and 18 at the back. There were no windows inside.
