These things had a weird driveline connected to a rear transaxle that was a bad joke at best. The one pictured has a conventional rear end and a bell housing for a 4 speed transmission. I can't remember who raced one but it could have been the late Mickey Thompson.
A couple of years ago my grandson bought a early 70s Bronco that had spent too much time on the beach. He was going to pull the differentials and put them in his little Ranger but never got around to it. He had it stored in his uncle's warehouse when a salesman saw it and went into shock. It was one of 700 Stroppe modified Broncos and the guy traded a sharp 68 plus cash plus a extra set of differentials for it. He should have listed it on eBay or at least Craig's list...

Cool story. We can’t live with our regrets though. I’ve parted with things that may have had more value, but unless you have a warehouse, as you mention, what are you going to do with all the junk we collect? After a while, it begins to own us. ;D

I wondered if we were ever going to get back on today.

My grandson loses tens of thousand of dollars and you are miffed about FR being down for 20% of the rest of my life?

I think (hope) my Tempest was a ‘62. I must go be sick now if not.

He’s lucky he didn’t have it in the market.
