Well here she is guys bought from craigslist about 3 months ago. Brought her home on a friday after work and had the the motor,trans,t-case, and top off by sat afternoon. The motor was still warm when it was yanked!
A little Ford history about myself and the Bronco. Started building a 66 Mustang when I was 14 and had it drivable by time I was 16 and a half(1996). Lots of small pay checks and time went in to her. What made it all worth it was seeing the look on my buddy's faces when I raced my friends 96 Z28 and smoked him after hearing his s**t talking for so long. When I was about 17 I saw a sweet 66 Bronco with all the goodies, for $4500 I tried to trade the mustang for it but it was a no go. Since then I have always wanted a early Bronco and have seen numerous awsome deals and rigs past me buy. Flash foward to 2007 and after getting a "to slow ticket" by the CHP at the CA4WD Winter Fun Fest in my very capable Samurai I decide It's time to get a real wheeler and something with a healthy V8. I found this Bronco while i was in the process of selling the sammy and hoped it would not sell before i had the cash. Well I sold the sammy on Thursday and picked up the Bronco on Friday. My Dad and I picked it up after work from a owner who was very attached to his Bronco. This thing had been his for twelve years and before that his buddy from high school had it during school. Lets just say there was plenty of stories to tell. Close to 3 hours later we were bringing her home.
