I think I saw the same one, had temp tags. I saw it in the parking lot at PF Changs at Park Meadows mall. I was there for the wifes B-day dinner and she gave me "the look" when I mentioned I was going to go and talk to the guys piling out of it .... well needless to say - I walked straight into the restaurant. It was seriously sweet though. Black body armor on the rear quarters, looked like 37's.

Damn - I wish it was still there when we came out, he would have had a card under his wiper for sure!



Found it, guy must have just bought it down south and drove it home. At least that would explain the temp tags.

Damn, I sure hope he joins here.

I'm doubting I will see a salesperson within 100' if I pull up in my own Bronco. Now, if I were some 19 year old kid with a high and tight hair cut, in uniform and looking like I just got back from the 'stan, they'd be stabbing each other in the face to get to me first.

Spotted two today.

The first was near Kipling and 13th in Denver. Parked in a driveway, obscured by trees from Kipling, I spotted the outline of the fender from the stop light. Swung back around and stopped at the house. The owner's wife was pretty nice but occupied with a dog obedience class that had just started so I handed her a card and got out of the way. Kind of a yellow/cream color. Pretty original looking. I'm guessing a 70-71 off my 30' view.

The second was a fairly clean, original green with white top. Mild lift. Tube rear bumper. Was headed west bound on 6th Ave towards Wadsworth from York, I think. Couldn't hop the median, even in the Super Duty, so chaulked that one up as a no contact.

Been a little occupied. Forgot to update. On the way home from the Caravan for Kids, I passed a Bronco headed north, as I was headed south, on I-25. This would have been the one that RJLougee just finished doing a 351W swap in to, if I recall correctly. We exchanged waves.

Yesterday I spotted a blue with white top at the intersection of Garden of the Gods and Centennial, headed westbound on Centennial.

Saw a white bronco with a white hard top near 6th and Kipling around 845 this morning. It had a large BF Goodrich decal on the upper rear quarter panel. Anyone here?

Pretty sure I saw the same one over there a couple Fridays ago. Was this it?

Saw this out at the King Soopers near Stapleton yesterday. This was the nice side-- other side looked like it had some mismatch panels. Still caught my eye though!

Spotted this morning on the way to work. I-25 SB and south Academy. Left a note. Hung around a bit to see if owner was coming back to fix. No dice. Still there this evening on the way home. Hope he gets it going soon.

Brown primer Bronco northbound on I-25 just north of the south Academy exit (that enough cardinal directions for you guys?) around 7:45 this morning. Soft top. High country hood, or whatever those things are called. Possibly could have been the same one I spotted on Feb 7th, if they just shot it in primer and changed out the wheels/tires.

Nice green 76/77 at the Denver p&p yesterday, second time I've seen it there so he must be a regular parts hound. I wonder if he'd sell me his spotlight?

Spotted a great looking uncut blue wagon with a white top today. Was headed north on the outer road from Garden of the Gods towards the Pro Rodeo HOF.

Also spotted a certain 66 resto-mod half cab in Sedalia today but someone already spilled the beans on that one.

Spotted a silver wagon today on Nevada southbound, just north of Las Vegas. White top. Brush guard on the front bumper. Looked really clean. Gave the driver a big wave (was in the Super Duty).

Anyone else find they spot more Broncos when they are driving non-Broncos than when they are actually in their Broncos?

Drew and I were cruising eastbound on Bellview and followed a nice green one with a soft top, looked like the windows were rolled up. It turned north on a side street about 1/2 way between Broadway and University. Of course we did give them the big ole bronco wave.
