Spotted in Gold Beach, OR. Met the owner, Sam, who has been on this site recently after buying this Beauty... said he had one years ago that he sold and has been kicking himself since. I'm glad he's back in the saddle. Maybe he'll see this and chime in. :cool:

Did you spot this from a helicopter?
:)

My local mechanic had this parked outside his shop for about two weeks. Tag indicated 2018 was the last time it was registered. Woman owned, got it from dad and I think it has been in the family a long time. Needed a tie rod. She is going to drive it for a while and give it to her daughter to sell for her wedding which is happening in two years. Another person driving by stopped and offered $20k on the spot. Will probably need floors but the rockers and doors were solid as are the quarters. Has a plow that I think still gets used. It’s a 67 U15 V-8 3 speed. Grill has some damage on the drivers side not shown it everything looks solid and straight other than that.

My wife and I spotted this one last Saturday in Lincoln, NE. We were turning the opposite direction and I was not driving my Bronco. So we didn't go on the chase. ;D

I posted pictures of this one a few weeks ago, with full top installed. My wife ran into them at a store yesterday and was able to talk to the owners. They shared numbers and we will be meeting up some time this week. More to come.

Seen this pulling up to local courthouse to get tags I assume, he's from Cali. I tried to speak with him for a minute but must have been busy, just said it was a 72 and that's about it. Anyway welcome to Lebanon TN Sir, not sure if it's a members rig or not.

Seen a remanufactured Bronco body on a gooseneck trailer yesterday on 32 westbound in Athens Ohio. Somebody is excited to have a new tub.

I saw this one over the weekend at Ice Cream Cruise. At I 29 Raceway, south of Council Bluff IA. It belongs to Marty (greatguy57078), here on CB.com. I stopped by the Bronco a couple times in the afternoon but I missed seeing the owner. I hope you had a great time at the show.

Spotted this one today at a tire store in Firth NE. One of many car and trucks owner by the tire store owner over the years. He said it was a 74.

So I was headed south on I-75 (just below Chattanooga, TN) Thursday around noon and passed an open car carrier (18 wheeler style) with several yellow into red two tone early broncos on it. They were all topless. Almost looked like a carnival ride or something! I wished I could have gotten a picture but at 65mph I couldn't get it together in time. Anybody know anything about them??

I know the trucks you're talking about - they were on the cover of an issue of Bronco Driver years ago. I forgot their story - it's probably in a thread somewhere here :).
