BA Baracus the Budget Backyard Bronco

Hey guys, wanted to share my great luck with you guys. I came across a 86' full size Ford Bronco sitting under a tree in back yard and that's where it's been sitting for the last two years. I couldn't tell you why they parked it, but regardless I went out there, aired up the tires, charged the battery, and watched it sputter to life after rolling over 5-6 times. $400 later, It drove itself on to the trailer, back off the trailer and into my garage. Got home and took the doors and top off, pulled the headliner out, scrubbed it and vacuumed it. As I was cleaning I found an envelope with every receipt of everything the the previous owner had ever done to it. Including headers, a 4 barrel edelbrock carb and a bunch of other odds and ends. After an oil change it's running much better. Next upgrade is plugs/wires/dis cap/switch & air filter. I'll keep you guys updated. I can't get my phone to upload pics but they are on my profile in an album although I think they all ended up sideways or upside down, you get the idea.

Good looking rig, (had to check the pics). I'm not a Ford guy, but if I was that would be chubby inducing.

When I was young, I spent a long day in one. Two adult, three kids and gear on a day hunt. It was a little cramped but very capable in stock form. Not a bad find, congrats.
