The first photo was taken in 1974. My uncle (Remo) is on the left and I am on the right. He purchased the Bronco new in 1969 from Glenwood Springs Ford in Colorado. Before it left the dealership, he had the fenders cut and a PTO winch installed. He passed away in 1995 and I inherited the bronco and drove it back from Colorado to Virginia. It was in very rough shape as most of its 85,000 miles were off-road treking through Utah, New Mexico and Colorado. I drove it another dozen or so years before I parked it. I retired 3 years ago and moved to Florida bringing the Bronco with me. I am at 99% complete for my talents, the only thing left is to paint the top. The second picture is the bronco today. The Bronco came into our family 51 years ago last week. Hopefully it will stay for another 51!
