Thank you!hell yeah.. Looking good. Great story and price too
Hey Pa, it was in a garage near my house in Arlington Heights, IL. Right by the famous horse race track. I was driving by a house and there was a man mowing the grass. His garage was open. I saw the nose of the Bronco under a bunch of stuff piled on the hood. It was a stock pale yellow color. I stopped and we got to talking and the rest is Bronco history. My son and I and a great local mechanic had a blast rebuilding it over th3 next year. It became a bit of an urban legend as a lot of people patronize this mechanic. Funny side story goes with it. When it was almost done, I decided to teach my then 14 year old son how to drive a stick shift. I picked up the Bronco on a beautiful Sunday morning with my son and we were on the way to an empty parking lot across town to begin his driving lessons. The Bronco had no plates and about half way to the parking lot a police car pulled up behind me and lit up his lights. I figured I'd get a talking to or a ticket for not having plates or a registration. Nope. This police officer was a patron of my mechanic and just wanted to see the finished product. I asked if he wanted to drive it and he followed us to the parking lot and took it for a spin while my son and I watched his patrol car. It was a neat experience and one my son talks about from time to time....he's now 30 year's old.
No but I picked up this one in 2016 ....a survivor from the California desert. I got it before the prices went through the roof.
