I got a FSB!!!

[SC74]

Added a 4th Bronco to my current collection - the first full size I've ever had. I've now owned EB's, a BII, and a FSB!

I wasn't really looking for this, but it was one of those friend of a friend deals. One of the guys at work knew of this '79 that one of his distant relatives owned and had talked about selling. I went to see it on Friday and ended up driving it back to our shop at work. I drove it 25 miles and it drives like a dream. Has a little smoke when you first crank it (hopefully just valve stem seals) and some slop in the steering (no prob to fix). Has AC, PS, PB, and the electric tailgate window still works. The best I can tell a 351 Modified with 4 barrel Holley on it. The interior is really dirty, but nothing some TLC can't help. The only rust I can find is on both sides in the rear fender just above the tire.

It's going to have to stay at work until I can make room for it in our driveway (get the tub back on the crawler chassis).

Thanks ya'll :beer:

Uncle Ted :hysterical: - I'll have to check the VIN tomorrow at work. I left the title at work too so I don't lose it before I can get a tag for it.

73Bronc - No magical potion here, just an awesome wife! She wasn't so happy at first but she is pretty lenient with me and my Bronco spending habits. We've got a deal that if we get in a pinch this is the first thing to get sold. I joke with her and tell her that I'm going to clean the interior up and it's going to become her daily driver now :toothy12: but I could never afford the gas for that to happen!

The best thing about the rig is the body - other than the two small rusts places it is in perfect shape. The doors shut great with good lines, the hood opens and closes and all the lines match up every time. The underbody is super clean besides a few seal leaks. To the PO knowledge, the hardtop has never been removed and from looking at it I don't think it has either.
