The online bidding for the Vista Orange Autotype x Icon BR Old School #63 started on February 26 at 9AM PST and it will not end until Friday, March 15 at 6PM PST.

Also, here’s what you need to know about the Old School Series of ICON BRs:
“These vehicles feature renowned ICON styling and modern technology but retain original-appearing bodies and bumpers. From the outside, the Old School ICON BR appears to be a well-restored original Bronco, and that aspect shaves several weeks off of the build process compared to fully bespoke/made-to-order ICON BRs.”
There is still quite a wait for the Old School Series BRs (we heard it is still a two-year queue), though it may not as long compared to the bespoke example. This is where the auction shines, so to speak, as it allows the winning bidder to get behind one almost immediately.
