This one is terrific!! It looks nearly stock with some subtle upgrades. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

OH and Batan, what does your GTI say about you? Get a clue man, customising a Truck like this is equivalent to customising a passenger car. Yeah, some people who drive these rigs are pricks, but you can say the same thing about some VW owners too.

Re: YEAH!!! RIDE EM COWBOY!!! I love Broncos! (Chapel)

Why does everyone in MA like big trucks. I don't get it. The stupid kids on the campus all drive around in Chevys and Fords w/ Lift kits, or slammed S10s. They look friggin ridiculous.
Take me back to NY.

That red (orange) white and blue one is a completely restored Bill Stroppe Baja Bronco. Very rare.
From http://BajaBronco.com/Briefing.shtml
quote:[HR][/HR]Baja Bronco Briefing
by Andrew Norton, Baja Broncos Unlimited
Bill Stroppe became involved with the Ford Bronco immediately after its release in 1966. The relationship resulted in an excellent racing record for Ford, Stroppe, and the Bronco. It also marked the beginning of many famous desert racers' careers, not to mention playing a large part in the popularity of desert racing itself. By 1971, Stroppe Broncos had won both the Baja 500 and 1000. Ford saw this as an opportunity to create a special Bronco for public sale that would bring off-road enthusiasts a capable vehicle and also promote the Stroppe team in honor of their success. On January 28, 1971 Ford announced the release of the Baja Bronco, a "limited production duplicate" of Stroppe's team cars.
Ordering & Baja Bronco Basics
From what I understand, a Baja Bronco could be ordered from most any Ford dealer. The customer just had to complete the Baja Bronco order form and have the dealer put the order in. Ford would then build a semi-complete Baja Bronco and send it to Long Beach, California for completion by Stroppe. Once Stroppe was finished with the conversion, the completed Baja Bronco was sent to the ordering dealer for customer delivery.
The Baja Broncos all started life as Sport Broncos with special paint by Ford. The paint scheme was as follows: metallic blue on the roof, Wimbledon White from the driprail to the beltline, and Poppy Red from the beltline down. The hood was painted semi-gloss or flat black except for the leading edge of the hood which was painted Poppy Red to match the line where the grill and fenders meet. Additional Ford-supplied equipment consisted of the Extra Cooling Package, reduced sound exhaust, and the heavy duty suspension.
Ford left the rest of the conversion to Stroppe. Stroppe installed fender flares in the rear and trimmed the front fenders for clearance of the Gates Commando XT tires on either painted steel wheels or slot mags of 8.5x15" size. Also included in the Baja Bronco conversion were dual shocks at each wheel, padded rollbar, rubberized steering wheel, front bumper braces, trailer hitch, and Baja Bronco tire cover and fender decals.[HR][/HR]​

Yeah. I'm trying to decide now which I want... a classic Bronco, a Jeep CJ7, FJ-40 Land Cruiser, or a Series III Land Rover 88 (or 109 ex-MOD). Any one of them can be bought for around $6-10k in refurbished/restored condition.
PLENTY of options out thier if you want a classic off-roader.
