I have heard that with the soft tops. Haven't heard any about the hard tops other than supply chain problems.

 

LOL! Glad they were all dead. Can you imagine explaining the tooth marks on your nose to your coworkers? LOL!

 

Well, again, you're an overachiever. Mine is buried in a remote hanger, so all of my achievements in the last 20 years are locked lol.

It looks like this, minus a hood, fenders, wheels, and has a (probably severely corroded) blower sticking up past the cowl, all covered with 1/2" of dust



and this completely unfinished fiberglass body kit around it...

The model is probably close to 60 now

 

There is a Youtuuuubz video, as my daughter calls it of a guy waiting on replacement hard top for that reason. Also had been offered 30k over sticker to sell it. Because someone wanted it. I'm no ford guy. I luv and respect the old broncos and would have zero issue owning one. But f over paying for this new garbage.
I know we're a 1972 302 3 speed green and white bronco sets. I'd own it given the chance.

 

Keep the old car talk coming. Been what, 3 years now with the firebird dismantled in the back of the garage. And probably that much longer before it starts going the opposite way. Last on the road in 87 full resto needed. 400 turned into a 461 is the plan to run on pump. Been doing some interweb reading on the best blocks to use. They say pre '76

 

Dealer I ordered from put it in writing that when it gets here I'll buy it at msrp. No additional mark up.

Warranty runs out it'll be time to really look into v8 swaps. Part of the reason I went with the manual transmission to make that part easier. If it had a v8 option from factory I'd have definitely gotten it.

This color scheme with a matching Wimbledon white top. I've seen one top linex in that color and it looked really good.




We had a 77 growing up that was burnt orange and Wimbledon white. I'd kill to have it back. 302 and a 3 on the tree.

 

LOL! I was coming home one night in my little run here, run here Honda. It usually sat in the garage and didn't do much. Here I am coming home from the House of Representatives and this field mouse sits up on the dash and squeaks at me. The roads are ice, I am getting ready to go across the Missouri river and this creature wants to discuss politics. Now I am trying to grab this little bit of fluff so I can throw it out of the window! Didn't catch that one but did catch its smaller relative and that one did end up in the river. I get home and found out I had a entire trunk of mice! Backed it back out of the garage, set up every mice trap I had and the herbal "stuff" that they don't like. A week latter lots of dead mice in the traps and no site of further mice evidence. Almost ended up in the river that night. #### mice.

 

I kinda remember those pics. Time to get at it. I'm trying. Buddy in HS had dark blue stang just like that. Only a 4cyl. But him and his dad painted it and put later wheels and gt ground effects on it. Nice looking car. A 2" Maple tree stopped it from taking drink in the cold river and killing him.

Secret why I hung out with a buddy with a Ford was his sister! Lol. We had a thing on the side.

 

Inside shower says a friend. He is not impressed.
