30 Years ago & Last week

[Bajabrewer]

30 Years ago in March I bought my Bronco in the mountains of Colorado ....Lots of great memories! Last week my oldest son bought himself the 4X4 he's wanted(and saved for) for several years. I think now is the time to really get cracking & finish the resto on the Stroppe so we can do some cruzin, car shows & trail rides. Yes I'm proud of him(and his brother) and a little jealous.....

That's a proud boy "and" a proud Papa.

Just wondering. What did pay for that stroppe 30 years ago?

 

[DirtDonk]

And did you call "shotgun!" on the Raptor driving?

Can't wait to see the old Red, White and Blue (or black) come back to it's original glory.

Awesome man.. Thanks for sharing.. Nothing like sharing a family passion

$2,800 & a 4 cylinder/4 speed 1980 Ford Fairmont station wagon. My son paid $28,000 & a 2007 Ford edge for the Raptor.

& NO IT'S NOT FOR SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He actually tossed me the keys after a run to the grocery store - then threatened to beat me up when I didn't want to give them back. ;D

 

[Tugross302]

Sweet. Happy for both of you. And I would give you $2850 for that bronco but no transmission. Hell, you drove it 30 years

 

[Tugross302]

Oh. I read that wrong. I mean I wouldn’t throw in a Fairmont

 

[NC-Fordguy]

Looking forward to seeing the build thread on the Stroppe. What do you have planned for it?

 

[Slowleak]

I’ll throw in a Fairmont.....

Cool story, this December will be my 30th year of owning my Orange Ranger too!!

 

[bronconut73]

May will be 35 years for me.

 

[chriskent85]

He will love his raptor. I bought one brand new in 2011 and I wouldn't trade it for nothing. There is no ride like it.

Nice!
Long time no talk! Hope all is well. I still owe you a light bezel when you get to that part of you restore!

I'll trade that light bezel for a dark beer! Yeah it's been too long. I'm hoping to get to Hudsonville in a couple months - Saturday, May 5, 2018, 9 AM – 3 PM
Make it if you can - if not we'll have to try Bakers when they start having shows. Or Dream Cruise but that seems a long way away.
