After years of sitting idle, tuck back in the corner of the garage, the opportunity to restore an early part of Ford racing history has presented itself. In the days to come, I will introduce to the Classic Bronco members the restoration of a 1966 Bronco build for Sand Drags. From what I have thus far been able to gather, this Bronco was well known in Southern California during the late ‘60’s. In 1970 it was sold to my Dad who went on to race 2 more years before going into retirement with the occasional outing to prove it could still beat up on the Jeep crowd. “The Racing Bronco” as it is known to our family, has some very unique features that I think will make for a great build thread.
As the build moves along, I hope to also relate some stories regarding the Bronco and would like to open the thread to anybody out there that may remember it from its Southern California or Utah racing days. This build will take place from now, thru the winter in preparation for the Fabulous Fords Forever show at Knott’s Berry Farm in April 2011.
I’m really looking forward to this build; I hope there are those out there that also get a bit of enjoyment out of it.
Admin, I sent a check last week to update me to Contributor, hopefully the check will arrive soon, if it has not already, and then I will start posting pictures as the build goes along.
Thanks to this forum for giving me a place to share what I think will be a great part of Bronco History.
