    no its a rare military bronco. they sent 120 to the military in 67 to replace the jeep. They ended up being used to ride around officers. There is only about 20 known to still exist. This one will still have some military stuff left in it but will still have some modern touches. Trying to keep it as original as possible but its gotta have some tires and a winch

    That is a rare SOB!

    Yeah, my bro has two winches. Fancy ass rear tire carrier winch bumper... Spilt diff, lockers, the racing motor, roll cage, lights, badass seats, disc brakes, too much to say. He has the equipment to build a lot of custom badass stuff. Custom Skelton doors, top, the cage, the front bumper, the floor boards (replaced)... Before my grandad died he called that thin "Jays junk car" I still call it that

    Hooks,
    Con is young, he just doesn't know. My ride at CU in '71 was a Ford Falcon, 6cyl, 3 on the tree and no AC, but I did have 8 track going on.

    I learned to shift a 3 on the tree in a falcon with the six in it. That Bronco is bad ass and I might can help you with parts if you need any. I got some BFG's for it. Only 1 has a nail in it.

    Come on man - I know what 3 on da tree is!

    The day we brought my Bronco home, my dad was "teaching me" how to shift and warning me how much power that 351w had. Well we were on a slight incline when he revved it up a tad and popped it down into first, and up went the front tires, about 2 feet off the ground!

    Unfortunately for me, my mom was standing in the garage and witnessed the whole thing... which led to me having to sell it some months later.

    I will own another early bronco... one day!

    better plan on forking out some money. They aint cheap anymore, but they are an investment if you take care of them

    mine is solid as a rock. Thing that turned people away from it was the inline 6. Everyone wants a v8. My dad had an old Fairmont with the same 200 6 in it that he put 330,000 on. They are solid motors and bulletproof. With the 4.11 gears and low first gear, its got plenty of power for me.
