That’s known as a restomod, and restomods are nothing new. But Kindred is attempting to differentiate itself by streamlining the bespoke, laborious restoration process into something resembling a typical auto manufacturing assembly line. The company starts with unrestored trucks, and through its standardized refurbishment process, they’re turned into fully modernized, reliable machines—you can even get one with an electric motor.
For the Bronco build, Kindred sources vintage first-gen models produced between 1966 and 1975 and upgrades them inside and out. The trucks can be optioned with either a 460-horsepower Ford Coyote V8 engine or an electric powertrain that Kindred claims will have 200 miles of range. Gas-powered and electric models receive a long list of luxe features: front and rear disc brakes, power windows, leather upholstery, an audio system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and even a dash-mounted touch screen with a backup camera display.
