I was all in on the Base Squatch w/2.7, but after getting lost in this thread I got to thinking. A Base 2.3 manual would have all the capabilities my '76 had with twice the HP, and 50% more torque. Would save me $9440 vs the Squatch. $700 for some 255/85/16 (33"), Plasti-dip for the top and...
This is my need to be greater than base. I need the mid package with dual climate for me, and heated seats for her. Otherwise she will cook me out of it!
This was my inspiration back when I did the bronco, a TDK Audio commercial from the late 80's. Started as a 76 uncut forest green and white ranger trim. Color was from 1982 Ford EXP.
The absolute furthest NE corner, New Albin. It had a white soft top, 6 point roll cage, and custom a-frame bumper mounted canoe rack, for the summer when the soft top was on. Wish I had a picture of that with the sides rolled up and the canoe on. Total safari rig!
So here is my former bronco, Bright lime green metallic, was a 1982 Ford color. White top and flares. Would love to see this as a black diamond trim level with 33's. Thanks in advance,
