The renowned British racer poured about $20,000 into the classic 4x4.
Finished in a handsome dark blue, the custom ride features red accents around the front grill that carry over to thebadge and towing hooks. The side top windows have been removed while a set of KC driving lamps have been installed beside the updated headlights. Elsewhere, the SUV sports black 17-inch Method alloy wheels wrapped in chunky 35-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, along with black wheel arch extensions and side protection runners.
Under the hood, the retro ride is equipped with a naturally aspirated 4.9-liter small-block Bronco V-8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. The auction house estimates it can produce north of 300 hp. By comparison, the 1970 Bronco packed a 2.8-liter V-8 good for 220 horses. The mill has been upgraded with Fitech fuel injection and an Edelbrock filter as well as an MSD ignition kit with a push-button start. The suspension has also been raised and is now fitted with Bilstein shock absorbers. Stopping power, meanwhile, comes courtesy of new Wilwood front disc brakes.Inside, the cabin is finished in fresh cream leather comes fitted with period-correct seats, along with a half roll cage over the rear bench.
The best part? The eye-catching truck has been in Button’s ownership for the past four years and has just 170 miles on the dial. At the time of this writing, the Bronco has already attracted two bids and is sitting at $30,000. The auction will wrap on January 20, which gives you six days to get your bid in.
