Found a 68 with California origin

[lilthom]

I will bring this home Monday. It has some issues but very minimal rust. Not sure what I’m gong to with yet. I’ll post pictures of “before”.

Look forward to it. Most of those have been picked up thanks to the ICON Bronco era.

Heading home

It’s a bad picture but there’s a 68 following really close behind me.

But it’s a good view when it’s yours.....congrats on the new-to-you Bronco!

Darn tailgater!
Typical for an ex-Californian...

LOL, will be for dad or for grandson?

That's the dilemma. I don't "need" another one and the older grandson will be upset that all he got was a cool rat rod 67 f100 while his younger brother gets a even cooler 68 Bronco.
This thing is so rust free I may need to do the basics and put it out there for a profit.
What to do..what to do.

This picture shows why this went undetected. The owner bought it in 1975. He drove it here to Missouri in 2002 and parked it in 2004 due to bad health. It was parked at this concrete yard behind a block wall. The wall got knocked over recently and broke out the back window and dented the rear corner bad. When the wall came down it got noticed and I heard about it. 69,000 original miles. It is not the original 289. It is supposed to have around 40,000 on it. Fun times ahead.

Too bad PO had to let her go. That’s never a fun day. On the flip side, congrats lilthom on the new project.

looks like a nice find

Nice find. Looks just like the 72 I picked up a few weeks ago!

Congrats on the new Bronco @lilthom

Man, wonder why the PO kept it so far out of sight like that?

Really cool that he had it since ‘75!

Interesting idea here. Under seat storage. The bench seat just sat in the top so it could be lifted out.

That's cool, just needs a hinge to make is easy to get to.

I’m still not certain but I am thinking that I will clean this up to illustrate how little rust there is, get the motor running, fix the brakes and see what I can get for it as is. It can be somebody else’s canvas.
At least I think that’s my plan. It’s solid!
