Great shot! That is the first picture I ever saw of a Baja Bronco years ago when I was a kid. It was part of the initial marketing campaign for the Baja Bronco. Andrew can chime in here with more info but I believe there's a good chance that truck is Andrew's "Trailer Baja" from back in the day.

I think this was the famed "Firestone" Baja, which was used early and heavily as a promo Baja (even sans hood stripe in very early pics) and would not have been the one that pulled the Sprite trailer. I think the trailer Baja was purchased new just prior that race.

I have a copy of the press release that has that image in it. Definitely a cool pic!

I've got one of those press photos. Very cool to have.

Yes, you are absolutely right. Here's Andrew's writeup on it:

Ah, great article. Thanks for posting it up. Hidden in his website with no menu button to lead you to it. Sneaky! ;D
