Seems like these type of rigs have surfaced before. Whats your take on this one? What does Lee say? Some of the bigger names on this site chimed in with their thoughts on this thread. For the record I thought the thing was cool.

Fred bought the "Beast" Bronco from Mr .Holman the Bronco that the Pharmacisit now ownes that had a tag like the "Hunter" has..He is the one that told me the story about the Holman -Moody Bronco connection that existed here in NC..He then gave me Lees phone number..There are lots of men, here in NASCAR country, that have worked with Holman -Moody over the past 60 years and the older guys remember the Broncos and some even worked on that particular project exclusive..If "Ford" raced it Holman -Moodys hands were all over it..Who's Fred??? I thought we were talking about Lee and Jim Stroope?
wall full of Baja racers in NC? or CA? Had to be CA. Anyway, memories are cool but they fade and meld. Pictures tell the real story. That's how I've done my research and about 50% of folks memories who were there corroborate.
I have a friend who worked on the Baja Broncos and swore the hoods were white, or orange and the black part was painted at Stroppes. All the found original paint bajas have black hoods with the front edge painted orange at Stroppes. But he was THERE!
All good. But before you discount what a guy like ToddZ had heard of in his Bronco life you need to go post some silly responses elsewhere on classic, then we get back to business regarding lee and Jim. ��
I never got those pics of your air conditioned ride, so post them up!

I have seen photos of an office of HMS that has a large office upstairs and is surrounded by glass..?
Talked with Dennis Carpenter(he has a Baja Bronco I believe) today and he too remembers the Broncos lined up at HMS in Charlotte..I hope to have some photos soon..I am now being told about a Bronco that was built for the drag race circuit in the 1970s also ..My friend GW owns the Moorsville drag strip thought I might ask him about it..
