Wasn't there one like this in a desert in Africa? People speculating on EBs in Africa, then someone posted a photo of EBs being loaded in an airplane.

Anybody on this forum have a white Bronco that was at exit 29 in Corbin, KY today (04-07) around 7pm. I was getting off the exit as it went toward 312. I was in my 75.

I think it's in Panamint Junction, which is a few miles away. I took a pic of it in 2008 when we were doing our Death Valley tour. It was much more complete then.

Yeah, that's one that Dan Grec (The Road Chose Me author) found in north Africa in his travels there. I contacted him about it some time ago and he was quite adamant that it was a RHD model and that someone from the US flew over and checked it out and verified it was RHD. No matter that you can tell quite easily in the pic that it's a LHD '66 roadster. I wanted to write a story about it for BD but usage rights for the photo were cost-prohibitive so I didn't go any further with it.

Catching up on this season of Goblin Garage and they are redoing this Bronco. Said they paid 21k for it from California and had it shipped to the UK. They had 43k in it total and sold it for 55k.

For a professional shop you would think Goblin Works would be able to get the flares on straight. WTH is going on with that front one especially. Wonder what else they half-assed on that flip.

I don’t mean to offend anyone but that Bronco looked better when it was original with the rust then it does now. What’s with that folding light bar. Don’t the they know about LED lighting.

They probably did not know what they were for, so left them open in case they found out later.
Or if the new owner decided to put it all back to stock!%)

Good point... someone overlooked what most enthusiasts notice immediately
