Icon Modified FJ40's - Work of Art

I'm glad to see there are still companies modifying/restoring classics the right way, without overdoing them.

I've seen them and have sat it them. Nice build quality........but, they are something like $100k for the base model, plus options. A build of that quality could be replicated for far less. Still a very cool machine and for someone for whom "money is no object," does not want to deal with the hassles of overseeing a build, and does not want to wait, it is a great solution. Kind of like buying a spec custom home vs. having one built for you. Not saying that I would not love to own an ICON.......

Reminds me of the Unique Motors GT500 Eleanor Mustangs that were selling for $150k. You could replicate one for $100k but were paying an extraordinary amount of markup for all of the overhead it takes to run a company like that.

Nice restomod ... but I'd still have an OEM one.

Very very mean, bad ass. The whole setup is tastefully done.

I think that they are great, and I love the FJ's. However I do think that they are too expensive. I could have someone do that in Colombia for a hell of a lot less money.
