I know where one is at.

I had the opportunity to buy one in Sacramento a few years ago. It still had the military front seat and dash plaque. I didn't buy it because of the 170. I already had a 170 equipped Bronco, and like those quoted in the article think it's an anemic engine for such a heavy vehicle.

The guy who was selling it actually had two military Broncos. One he was building for himself, and I believe it was going to be turned into a standard cut and lifted Bronco. He didn't really care about the history of it. I'd like to know what happened to the one I drove and passed on.

I find it interesting in the article that it mentions power steering in the pre-delivery ones. Considering that PS was years off - even in the Stroppes, it makes me wonder if the statement is actually correct, and what did they use for the steering box if it was true.

doesn't that camo pic one have the later model running lights, or are those just my old eyes?

power steering and brakes in an prototype? sounds odd that it would take 7-8 years + for those to make it to the line. though it is on the internet. it has to be true.....
