Highline Classics<\/a> (HLC) is a company in Hubbard, Oregon that specializes in classic Ford Broncos. Take for example this “Firenze Red” 1971 Bronco they created. In the engine bay they installed a third-generation 5.0 L Coyote V8 producing 460 hp (338 kW) and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque. They backed the motor with a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission and a Ford push-button transfer case. Power is split between a custom HLC Dana 44 front axle and a custom HLC 9-inch rear axle. The Bronco sits on a restored factory frame with 2-inch body lift and 2.5-inch suspension lift using Bilstein shocks. HLC coated the body in Land Rover “Firenze Red” paint with black trim and black factory bumpers. Under the metal fender flares they installed Fuel Revolver 15×10-inch wheels with BFG K03 33×12.4-inch tires. <\/p>\n
