It seems like Jon Ward has been burning the midnight oil over at Icon 4×4.  Having just finished a run of custom Ford Broncos, he and his team are also releasing the latest in their ongoing Derelict Series: a 1952 Chevy Deluxe Business Man’s coupe. The Derelict Series looks to rescue timeless classics that have been reduced to clattering rust buckets through years of neglect. The cars are stripped down and rebuilt from the frame up using hidden modern components. While the interiors are restored back to their former glory, the exteriors are left untouched, giving them sort of a Mad Max post-apocalyptic look.

This particular Chevy Deluxe was found languishing in a barn in Texas with only 8,000 original miles, but now it features an Art Morrison powder coated chassis, fuel injected 430 hp Camaro 6.2 LS3 engine, wild caught Florida alligator and domestic buffalo interior, Aston Martin vintage mohair headliner, Focal and Parrot audio with Bluetooth. It may look like a total junker rolling up to the line, but it’s a bat out hell coming off it.
