In terms of style and substance, this Ford Bronco is a red truck that sets fires...
Red Devil Dawn
Famed Pensacola, Florida shop Velocity Restorations has made a name for itself restoring classic Ford Broncos in a variety of different ways. Some stay to true to the original, complete with a rebuilding of key parts and a dedication to preserving the old Bronco’s style and performance. Some, like this “Kandy Red” 1971, feature a bit more flair —and are trucks that embrace the vehicle’s vintage heritage while adopting a contemporary, luxurious flair.

Coyote Powered
The reimagination of this 1971 Ford Bronco starts with a totally rebuilt drivetrain. The truck is powered by a rebuilt Ford Coyote Crate 5.0L engine paired with a sporty 6R80 six-speed manual transmission paired with an Atlas transfer case and Borla SS exhaust. Don’t let its looks deceive you. While this particular Bronco rebuild may be better suited to travel on paved roads, it doesn’t come without the ability to tackle the dirt.

Speed, Style, Substance
Many Ford Bronco rebuilds include upgrades to onboard audio, climate control, and seating systems. But with the Kandy Red ’71, Velocity’s team of pros have taken it one step further. The truck features retractable electronically powered steps to make getting in and out of the vehicle a cinch.

Fire in the Hole
In addition, the truck’s front high-back leather seats recline for comfort and can be heated for trips into colder climes. A Polk Audio stereo system, subwoofer, and amplifier power your favorite tunes while a newly conceived Dakota digital gauge system keeps you informed of key vehicle logistics.

Business or Pleasure
The truck’s 18x10 Fuel brand wheels sit on a custom-built Krawler’s Edge chassis and boast 35” BFG Radial Mud Terrain Tires that will capably handle any off-road destination. But fret not —they clean up to double as shoes fancy enough to park in front of any fashionable club.

Right on Target
While some Ford Bronco rebuilds cater to those who want to take advantage of the off-road capability which fostered the creation of the original, others seek to refine the Bronco’s classic power for use in more refined automotive stables. No matter what your particular preference is, the Velocity Restorations team have proven themselves to be a capable resource for both.
