This is as good as it gets.

Beautiful. Well done.

Wow. Stunning. The transformation from the as-found condition to this is nothing short of amazing.

Agreed. I got the pleasure to see it in person a couple times in progress and it is amazing.

Here is a pic before Andrew picked it up from Randy in AZ. I just missed it by a few days when we stopped in to visit on our way back from picking up the Ambulance at Fab Fords.

This was pic was on 4-11-2011. How does a guy terrible with dates remember that? Because when Randy showed me the Marti report, I realized that the next day, both that Bronco and I both turned 40, hence, I refer to this one as my "Birthday Baja". Too bad I can't afford it now!


It looks outstanding though, and other great job by Andrew!

Will it break the old record of 92k (if I recall) the last one rolled through at?

I don't have enough strings for that now that it's all nice.

What did it end up going for?

$80k, thought it would bring more.

Me too.

That's the risk with an auction, you just never know who will be in the room.

Had a reserve. It was let go for that by the seller.
A little low in in my opinion. 88K after commission.

True, but also $72K in the sellers pocket after their commission.

I was flipping channels between football games when I noticed the Mecum auction. They were previewing a Hemi Coronet when the camera panned around the side & I recognized a familiar shape and color truck. Then at the end of the show a minute later there was this grey one. I don't know if they got any Broncos crossing the block but I would have liked to hear the opinions & comments about the Broncos. I think someone got a great deal on a SWEET BAJA!
