Very nice. Should sell for a pretty good number.

Quite a few of us members on here got to check this bronco out at Carlisle last year during the Stroppe reunion...I was wondering at the time if the paint drips on the front grill were factory accidents or what. In the comments section he says that the right quarter and door had been painted... Kinda far from the passenger side if it happened at that time. ID be interested to know what y'all think. One killer bronco tho that is for sure. The guys were taking pics of every little thing on it. Haha.

That one was inside the display building at Carlisle last year, right? I wasn't with you guys when you went over it with a fine-tooth comb, but the drip is interesting......I asked the seller about it in the auction.

Yep, just inside the door. I'm very curious to see the sellers response. I'm glad there are photos that clearly show it cause I didnt take any and have thought about it multiple times since then. haha

I’m speculating that drip is the result of some under hood touch ups. Water pump has obviously been freshly painted.

It looks like it was kept in a time capsule.

Beautiful Bronco

That is one nice parchment floor mat! Oh yes so is the bronco.

That is a remarkable time traveler Bronco. But it traveled through time the hard way. This raises the old question of what you could possibly do if you had a Bronco like that. Unless you had a museum that it was going to sit in, you would be afraid to add any miles to it!

Current owner said the paint drip on the grill "wiped right off". Beautiful example for sure!

I knew it! He was painting the dang water pump. That thing is too fresh compared to the air cleaner and the rest. Looks like a new gasket too.

I'm always curious about the stories behind these survivors. based on the condition, this one looks like it just sat and was maintained along the way.

As soon as I read it I was thinking "by God he was right!" haha... I cant remember if the water pump was painted in PA last year but I'll take his word for it.

One strange thing I noticed was the radio antenna routing. It came thru the inner fender and then thru the fire wall.

That is odd!

Not me, I would put her on the road!
I wonder what it would be like to have a Bronco that I wasn't working on.

The frame, axles and underside of the tub have been sprayed. Not a good job masking the over-spray.

You're right... I dont think I even looked that closely on the frame but you can see bolts that are half black and half surface rust as well as an odd black like over surface rust in the rear just in front of the passenger tail light. Still way nicer than my 7k mile bronco. haha

We are on the home stretch now... Currently at 109,000 and still havent met reserve. I am curious to see if it meets it.
