There is a very nice 1983 Stroppe "chase Bronco" on ebay. My question is do you think it can pass a visual smog test in California with all the drivetrain mods?

I wonder what the reserve is? That would be a good one to add to a collection.

that's a cool rig, wasn't it for sale not too long ago, or was that a different one?

Yeah, it's been for sale for quite awhile now - at a much higher price than the opening bid listed. I have a copy of the Truck Trader ad years ago where it was for sale for $5-$6K back before Hal bought it.

Be advised that it's just a 'tribute' truck - it doesn't have any Stroppe history or heritage associated with it.

Dobbs raced a Stroppe F100. The Bronco was their case truck.

Thanks for the clarification, Ed! Tribute is too strong a word, then. I knew of their F100 and have a pic of it somewhere or another (do they still have it?) but never knew if they raced it or not.

I am pretty sure they raced it. I have a picture of it somewhere. Last I heard it was still in their collection

Yeah, I have a picture of it in their showroom or storage facility somewhere too.

The Bronco is fun to drive. I know Joe and I would both love to own it.
