Since high school, I always wanted a 69 1/2 shelby gt500. When I hit about 42, I upgraded the wife, sold my business, and went back to my former career. Found a few shelbys in my price range. Wife said get it but I was thinking I could still find one cheaper. Now they are out of my price range. So I gave up that idea. Started hunting something I could use for weekends to get down to dads economicly. Then I got to thinking that it would be nice to have something 4wd to go out into the pasture to check on my longhorns and HER #%^& HORSE
. That was when the early bronco came into the scope.
I searched ebay, auto mags, auto websites and craigslist. Found mine in new mexico and brought her home. Did some TLC and added ac. She has a ways to go to being purrrfect, but I am in no hurry. She runs, spits and sputters. We have even spent some time on the side of the highway monitoring the traffic till she was ready to go again. Though it was embarassing, I didnt mind. She still garners some thumbs up while on the road and "Wow" conversations in parking lots.
The best part is the time we get to spend with my dad. My dad loves to work on her. When he sees the hood up...he jumps in to help. My dad and I do alot of things together but none compare to working on the bronco. On my materialistic side...I LOVE MY BRONCO!! Sorry shelby!
