Really cool ! Thanks for sharing. Always love the paint scheme on it !

Love the sound of it driving down the road! Really wanted to see him let it loose on some dirt, and it sounded like he wanted to.

I miss seeing the Rod Hall trucks around reno.

Ah, you beat me to it. One More Win is a great film about Hall and his achievements. This Bronco though is not the 1969 winning Bronco and Hall only drove it once that is documented. Ford motor company, Hall, Lerner and everyone associated with them thinks its a better story if they say the truck is the actual winner. Todd Zuercher ToddZ on here and I owned the original and have put up a power point outlining the differences. Back in '13 or 14 I called Shelby Hall and, since they were prepping the Bronco for Norra and I was only 3.5 hours away, that I'd be glad to trailer the real 1969 winner and all my files and documents and pictures up and we could all go over them together. The answer was No thanks, we will operate on the power our name. Oh well, I tried.

Wow! Thanks for the updated lesson and details

You're welcome! Sorry if I seem a bit perturbed by it all....but...when you consider my history with Stroppe Broncos it makes sense. Since 95 cataloging the production Bajas and racers, I have a lot of work in and knew the Barstow Bronco sitting in the tow yard back in 1999 too. Some might say well Rod Hall was THERE and he raced it! But I will remind folks he did lots of other racing and didnt drive a Bronco in some of the events from '70-71 even. And neither the Barstow Bronco or the 1969 Mexican 1000 winning Bronco were ever owned by Hall. Not til he received the Barstow Bronco as a donation from the Pikes to his ORMHOF museum in 2011 or thereabouts.

Back to the subject at hand however: One More Win is a great film! I suggest renting it - I did on amazon prime TV and watched it with my family. I'll own it if it comes avail. I was a film major in college and thoroughly enjoyed it for more than just the Bronco / Rod Hall content.

Are you allowed to say who purchased the Red Racer. It was an amazing bronco and story.

 

[BajaBronco]

Yeah, I think it's fine. His name is Tiger and he lives in Los Angeles. He collects Broncos and Vws and Porsches mainly - and races a Porsche. He has a couple Bajas including my old 4speed 72 Baja, my 71 "Travel Trailer" Baja 500 veteran, Red Racer, and the historic Banquet Bronco. I restore the Bajas for his personal Bronco collection and have also done work on other non-Bajas in his collection. Currently restoring a 72 Baja and a 72 special order color Baja (Carmel Bronze).

Watched the documentary last night, very enjoyable!

Good catch man...

Very cool to see those old Baja racers. I'd love to make it to an event some day. The photos would be killer. haha.

Awesome information Andrew. I really enjoyed seeing the evidence in the powerpoint. It's so unfortunate that Shelby Hall was unwilling to hear your side of things. Oh well. Does the Red Racer ever get driven as far as you know? Any recent photos?

Red Racer is rad, I love that thing. I have spent hours looking at different Stroppe modified things, bolts, welds, handmade parts, etc. and I would do it again tomorrow if I had the chance… such a cool rig.
It really is sad that it doesn’t get the credit that it deserves, but it isn’t really Shelby’s fault, she is just riding the wave that was put in front of her…

Just finished watching the documentary. So great! Thank you for the post.

Here's a few more recent videos of the actual 1969 Mexican 1000 winning Bronco driven originally by Larry Minor and Rod Hall and later mostly by Hall and Jim Fricker. It's currently in Los Angeles.
