[Broncoblood]

very cool
very unique
slots or steels, either way looks tough
does the blue Stroppe bar have any significance or just a color choice?

This Bronco build is a true inspiration that you don't have to replace a frame, install a Coyote engine, aftermarket everything drive train to build a beautiful well engineered Bronco. Those expensive builds lose the original genius of design and beautiful style that the engineers and stylists' intended for an Early Bronco. This highly modified for the day, beautiful Bronco retains the original design intent and is just so darn cool! Thank for sharing it with us.

Thanks Buckeroo, thats the nail on the head there. And it's what I go for with Baja Broncos or Broncos I restore and own too. I mean, unless you HAVE to change something major in terms of frame/motor/etc then you must, but I've been able to do so without changing the Bronco into something far from what it was to begin with. These Kit Bajas are super rare - as the registrar for the Baja Broncos, I've come across only a few that I've been able to document - and documentation is key for these ones. I have a registry going for the kits and it includes both ones done at Stroppe in Long Beach and ones done at the selling dealer. If it's not docuemented it doesn't get on the Registry. If it doesn't have documentation I need to inspect it. Anyway, this one is ON! https://bajabronco.com/kitregistry/

Thanks Bobby! The Blue was a nod to Big Oly's cage as was the gold and white. And the chrome grill too - Big oly's first races as Big Oly (and even as Crazy Colt), it wore a chrome grill.

I'll throw this out there. We all know what it costs to build a Bronco to this level. With a little more work - I could change this or that - wheels, color, etc for the buyer if we have a game plan and a deal made.

Here you go! Original selling dealer took out a nice sized ad in the paper to sell it when they were done installing the kit!
