Re: 1973 Stroppe Baja
CONGRADUALTIONS!!! Glad to hear you didn't get bent over. Did you put that KC sticker on for good measures? lol I've been researching/reading everything thing I can on "Stroppe" and although a newbie to Bronco's I fully understand the significance to your find and the Baja history is just beyond words. You have the beginning to a good story.

Re: 1973 Stroppe Baja "Saved from the grave" TWICE
We just named the Bronco. Morris.
Morris the cat, an orange (maybe poppy red) tabby, was the cat featured in the 9 Lives cat food commercial.
This Bronco has seven lives left.

Re: 1973 Stroppe Baja "Saved from the grave" TWICE
I'm a little disappointed in the lack of pictures to be honest!!!??? I would have thought that we would have seen it sitting in the corner of the towing yard, getting loaded by the forklift, On the trailer in your rear view mirror CHECK!, and at its home next to all your other ponies!????? (the last one with you hugging and smooching the front fender of course!!! ) BIG CONGRATS by the way :):):)
