Saw this one today at Home Depot in Huntington Beach. Owner was a nice guy. Cars were piling up behind me as I was asking questions, so had to cut the Q&A short.

Just looked out my office window and seen a red one, lifted with black top going up Temple Street in Downtown LA. I never see EBs in downtown LA!

I chase folks down all the time and pass info on our local group. 9 of 10 show no interest or never contact us. Sad.

After this, I was heading over to another weekly show with more Broncos. Unfortunately, my high pressure power steering hose broke on my Pontiac G6 and started an engine fire. While calling the fire truck, the bitch security guard at the building I was parked in front of came out and was yelling at me to move my car 'cause it was a private business. I told her that I couldn't move it 'cause it was on fire. She asked me when I was planning on moving it, I said once the firemen put out the fire. What an idiot. Luckily, the fire died out on its own. 6 squad cars showed up though. Don't know if she had called them. Luckily minimal damage. Poor design from GM, putting a rubber hose an inch from the exhaust manifold.

How was it coming down that hill?

Hey HB73, just reading back through this thread and saw your post.

It was easy. Took it slow. I left late so I didnt have to keep up with any of the slot cars. Some of those guys were hauling a$$.

Spent last week in Denver/Fort Collins/Colorado Springs area and didn't see any! Thought for sure I'd come across at least one.

I guess I did on this trip as I spotted one on a transport headed east from Kansas into Colorado on Sunday the 6th. It was dark green with a white full top and white steel wheels.

Saw one in Joplin, MO yesterday. Lifted, black with white paint, couple of young gals in front.

Saw a couple at the Atlantic Nationals car show in Moncton NB this weekend. A really clean red 69 with white soft top/rear flares about stock height and a silver lifted full glass body Bronco. Other than that, mine is usually the only I see.

I see them for sale on the web there often.............I've friends that live between Loveland and Ft. Collins, they never see any. When I visit up there, I never see any either.

Saw three last week and they were all half cabs. I saw one here in Natchitoches, La being trailered. She had seen better days..:cry: Then I saw one while I was in Bougalusa, la seeing family, still working the fields with all its pride and glory. And the last sitting at a cousins in the same town. Sitting under a barn waiting to get fixed,< sadly(but no rust at least), along with my uncles late 60s F100.

Philadelphia -Roosevelt Blvd

Yesterday ay 2:45;pm, I was headed North on Rt1 (The twin bridges- Roosevelt Blvd) and saw a black Bronco coming towards me, headed towards 76. I don't know Early Broncos well enough to tell the years, but it sounded like it had Cherry Bombs. It also had a canvas top or something. The guy was moving at a pretty good clip when he went by me. Just wondering if that was anyone on here. On another note, I saw 2 dudes in a green FJ40 on Old York Rd in Glenside on Saturday afternoon. Very clean actually. As tradition dictates, I have no pictures of either sighting.

On a road trip in the Florida keys, saw an old blue and white driving northbound, and another lost eb soul parked at a car shop in marathon florida. I'lll post pics of the latter when I get home. The second bronco had a cool chrome bronco figurine welded to the front of the hood, like a Mercedes or Cadillac symbol......
