Jonathan Ward has once again wowed the automotive world with his latest masterpiece from ICON 4×4, presenting a stunning 1970 Chevrolet Suburban. This beauty isn't just a sight to behold; it's a beast on the road. Under the hood roars a twin-turbo 427 ci LSX V8, crafted by Nelson Racing Engines. This monster engine churns out a staggering 1,000 hp and 900 lb-ft of torque, ensuring this Suburban is as powerful as it is gorgeous.

The powerhouse is paired with a custom 4L85E four-speed automatic transmission from Gearstar, seamlessly delivering all that power to a robust Dana 60 independent rear end. The ride and handling are top-notch, thanks to a custom Art Morrison chassis fitted with a fully independent suspension system. Stopping power is equally impressive, with Brembo six-piston brakes installed on all four corners.

Rolling on stylish 20-inch HRE 6061 billet wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tires (275/35 up front and 335/30 at the rear), this Suburban isn't just about brute force; it's about precision and performance.

This remarkable build combines several car categories, including classic SUVs, high-performance muscle cars, and modernized restomods, making it a dream machine for any Chevrolet enthusiast.
