As a young parent with dreams of finding an affordable jeep and with my two young sons with me, (pre Mt St Helens eruption, so late 70s), I spotted a "jeep looking vehicle". It was located at one of the many small used car lots that seem to appear and then disappear so quickly. One of the things that caused me to wonder about this particular vehicle was what seemed to me to be a somewhat comical combination of body colors. Why would anyone combine a red/white body, blue top and black hood ? As it turned out when the young salesman came out to help me, he explained that the Bronco was on the lot on consignment. By the time he came out I had noticed that it had dual shocks and a roll bar. After asking about the strange color combo he retreated to the office and returned to explain that this Bronco was what was called a Baja version (which meant nothing to me at the time). After a short test drive with the boys in the backseat I returned to the car lot and asked about the price. The young salesman again explained that the Baja Bronco was there on consignment and the asking price was $2000, but suggested that the owner would be willing to take less. History will show that I left with the boys in tow, unimpressed with the color scheme and certain that my wife wouldn't have allowed the Baja in the driveway. Fortunately I found a 72 Bronco Sport some years later and have learned to both enjoy and appreciate what I have and deeply regret my youthful ignorance !
