A borderline impossible idea
One of our VIP customers came to us with a really big idea: surprise his wife on her birthday with a one-of-a-kind classic Ford Bronco. Our team hit the drawing board with him and designed her dream Bronco.
We had the perfect classic Bronco in stock to start with — except everything needed to change. Paint, interior, powertrain, suspension, steering, wheels and tires: a complete rebuild. The near-impossible part? It had to be done and delivered 650 miles away, to Nashville, in 31 days.

Crunch time
The rebuild included converting the 351 Windsor to fuel injection, a new header-back exhaust, a flawless custom paint job (huge thanks to Mark, Channing and Bill), re-engineering the entire steering and suspension, refinishing the King Ranch seats, new carpet and trim, new wheels and tires — a seemingly never-ending list to make it the perfect Bronco.

4 a.m. on day 31
At 4 o'clock in the morning on the final day, what rolled out of the NFI Empire garage was a work of art. The team hand-detailed it, loaded it into an enclosed trailer and shipped it to Nashville.
It arrived 10 hours later — a perfectly timed build — and within minutes it was unveiled to our client's wife. To say she loved it is an understatement. Every step was taken so this Bronco, as extreme as it is, drives as well as it looks for decades to come. They drive it daily.
