New here. '76 with EFI

Post by GeoffatBestop »

Hello there

Just got my first EB.

I've owned a bunch of Jeeps, and some other stuff like a Scout, Samurai, Jeepster.
But an EB has always been on my list!

I do work for Bestop, doing marketing. That's not why I'm here - this is all personal. But if you have any questions, let me know.
(I can answer the first two already: white tops again? No. 78/79 tops? No. Market is too small).

Nice rig! Any plans for Bestop to get rid of the hump in the middle of the top? I'd rather buy bestop, but don't have enough garage door clearance as compared to my current Kayline.

I was kinda hoping you might think that emissions shop photo looked like my garage....

Nah, actually it was just the onyl photo I had on my phone this morning. I sent it to my wife when it was getting tested..."40 years old, big V8...what could go wrong?" But it passed with flying colors!

I'll get some more photos soon. Just need some time to get them off the pavement, so you all don't make fun of my driveway queen.

The Bronco comes from a guy in Milliken. It has a bad 40-footer paint job, but otherwise is solid.

Poke around here and little more and I think your paint job will improve. Compared to mine, yours is show quality!

Glad you signed up. Tell us how you acquired your bronco.
