SEMA 2023 is right around the corner and among the many fascinating unveilings, Galpin Auto Sports' retro-inspired Ford Bronco is one that stands out not only for its vintage charm but its noble cause. This one-off creation is not just going to be a showstopper at SEMA but will also hit the auction block to support a charity close to the hearts of many - the Tyler Robinson Foundation founded by the band Imagine Dragons.

Based on the Bronco Badlands, this unique model has been embellished with numerous upgrades that elevate its retro aesthetics while encapsulating modern functionality.

The exterior sees the addition of Body Armor 4X4 bumpers, an IAG grille, and a captivating Eruption Green body color that contrasts beautifully with a gold roof and grille, embodying a nostalgic yet fresh appeal.

The Bronco's off-road prowess has been amped up with a 2.5-inch Camburg lift kit, Bilstein shocks, and robust 37-inch Toyo Open Country M/T tires encased in custom Fifteen52 aluminum wheels. A Front Runner roof rack with a Recon Recovery rooftop tent and awning, along with Rigid Industries auxiliary lights and Oracle head- and taillights, ensure this Bronco is ready for any adventure that lies ahead.

Moving inside, the custom Katzkin interior provides a luxurious touch while a Rockford Fosgate audio system ensures a delightful auditory experience. Thoughtful additions like a built-in fridge, two camping chairs, and a firepit from Front Runner reflect a perfect blend of comfort and practicality for outdoor enthusiasts.

While the engine specifics remain undisclosed, it's been equipped with a Roush performance air induction system to enhance airflow and keep harmful elements at bay, hinting at a performance-oriented setup under the hood.

The heartwarming aspect of this project is its charitable angle. Post SEMA debut, the Bronco is destined for an auction, with all proceeds channeled to the Tyler Robinson Foundation.

This non-profit organization, initiated by Imagine Dragons, is dedicated to aiding children battling pediatric cancer, making this Bronco not just a beautiful rendition of automotive craftsmanship but a vehicle driving a noble cause.
