The pinnacle of Ford Bronco ownership: the Stroppe Baja Bronco | Why I Drive #32
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2021
- Eric Oberlander’s Stroppe Ford Bronco is entirely original from paint to fender to engine. He bought the truck from the original owner in who kept every scrap of paper related to the Bronco and who maintained it with a kind of religious devotion. The result is a survivor that, short of owning Parnelli Jones' "Big Oly" Bronco, is the pinnacle of Bronco ownership. Oberlander maintains a side hustle of building and restoring old Broncos and says he'd someday like to open a Bronco museum to share his passion with others. In the meantime, however, Oberlander is content to pile into his "Baja Bronco" with his sons on a Saturday morning and light out into the Louisiana woods in search of new adventures.

The best part for me is seeing a survivor being driven as intended by someone who loves and appreciates it.
100%
Hagerty has been fuckin killing it! Real car content for real people who love cars. Period.
This is def an ad from Ford.. just in Time for the new bronco model…Content is good though!
@@Rob-dc8wi eehhhh. Probably. It's only an ad if you allow it to be though.
Actually not an ad, I can assure you. Just a cool guy who loves his old Broncos.
Now we know where all the Broncos are!!
I remember when Hagerty was mainly a classic car insurer who'd sponsor Barrett-Jackson. Now though, even better.
Oberlander is the perfect last name for this family. Great story and video!
More!!! Now that Petrolicious went to sh!t you guys can take over on these owner/car stories!
Fr tho they should get back to doing videos on owners experience and his own stories with the car not a host who tells everything, they were so good petrolicious
What happened to Petrolicious? Out of the loop here!
I love this series. Even before Petrolicious pissed the bed I was hooked on Why I Drive. The Ford GT film was my first. Keep em coming!
When I was a kid, I was a "Chevy" kid. But,I have had all sorts of cars. It's not about brand loyalty, it's about keeping any of the classics (and I mean that in the loosest definition) on the road; and sharing them with friends and family, and anyone who has even the SLIGHTEST interest.
Fantastic video, well done Hagerty!
Eric Oberlander!! The perfect name & a perfect truck!
With a name like "Oberlander", you don't drive a Prius.
I'm watching and was wondering if he bought his neighbor's bronco, then I saw his shop full of them. That's a whole lot of Broncos.
Ya same. He said his neighbor asked if he could park his Bronco in his shop, the next thing he's talking about HIS Bronco like he confiscated it lol.
"Driving... is mental health for me"
I feel the exact same way. Driving my MX-5 on canyon roads in my early 20's was like meditation, and it saved me from a lot of anxiety and stress. It was my escape... I hope I can afford one again some day soon, but they're getting expensive here in New Zealand. In the mean-time I've a Mazda Lantis Type-R project car to keep me sane. They're a gem of a coupe with a beauty of a V6 and handling like no other front-wheel drive car I've ever driven!
Very cool Eric. Those boys will remember all the memories.
When we would go visit my Great Aunt and Uncle who lived in South Gate CA. We would take the 405 to their house and on the way north we would pass by Bill Stroppe's shop . The freeway was high enough that you could see into the backlot of his shop. There was some pretty awesome stuff that you could look at.
Great story and video. I felt like I was there with the gentleman. I hope you all produce more videos like this.
Top-notch video
BILL STROPPE IS AN ICON IN MY LIFE!!! HE INSPIRED ME DURING MY DIVORCE. TO CREATE A NEW LIFE FOR ME.
That steering wheel is a thing of beauty
My Dad had broncos growing up and I have fond memories of climbing in the back end and riding to school
Such beautiful footage, well shot!
Thanks Eric
Nostalgic feeling
More! More! More! More stories in that shop!!
Jason from Maryland here.
Want to do an episode on my Brother and I? Classic early Jeep Cherokees.
YT, 'American Cherokees USA".
Why I drive, an 86 AMC Jeep Cherokee, knowing im driving the beginning of the early small SUV...i get looks every day...35 years old and can leave you in the dust on the turns! ...just sayn
What a great video and awesome shoot! This was a blast of a time!
Thanks for all the help in pulling this together!
Wow. This was great! Thanks Hagerty!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! SO INSPIRATIONAL!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Cool stories & Bronco’s. 😎👍🇨🇦
One of my wife's nieces had a Bronco for a few years. It was in awesome shape being a California Vehicle the entire time and then one day we heard they sold it for $13k. I was not happy after all they never mentioned they had it up for sale. I would have given them $15k for it in a heart beat. A 1972 4x4 Bronco is hard to come by these days and trying to find one that isn't a rust bucket is even harder.
Great video! I'll take the green and white one at 3:30 please.
Beauty and the Beast 2in1 🎊
I understand how it can help in improving mental health.
Oz never got Broncos until the third generation in 1981, but I got sick of waiting in 1978 and bought a short wheel base F100 302 ci 4x4. Not quite the same but I fell in love with that beast anyway, especially after my first-born son was conceived in it ;-)
this is amazing
I love the old Broncos a lot
The Bill Stroppe livery is iconic. Building an early 60s Mercury stock car tribute, planning to do the Stroppe livery on mine!
LETS HAVE A VIDEO OF OTHER RARE BRONCOS
This is the kinda content we all need! Bravo Hagerty ... Bravo!
YES, THE BAJA EDSEL CONCEPT IS STILL ALIVE AS WELL.
oh yes!
that was awesome guy must be rich. makes me think of clint eastwood in eiger sanction.
What an absolute beauty! And you can't buy that kind of patina.
Love it and so glad it is not a closet queen !!!
Una purasangre 😶✌️👍🇦🇷
Hey y'all we have a 94 bronco were trying to fix it up but my dad has a bad back and I dont ever have the time to do any thing on it and we parts for it but only few parts
i like first generation bronco.
I love Ford Broncos, but they’re not that common (or even affordable) in Australia
It rolls over easy.
The automatic transmission was not available until 1973. So this was added or did the Stroppe Baja come with this in 71 ? I would assume it has power steering?
I also noticed it had an air conditioning compressor. I bought a 1971 Bronce new. Power steering was not available. Power brakes were not available and air conditioning was not available. So, either this truck has been modified or Ford allowed Stroppe to add features not available when ordered through a dealer.
Stroppe made the automatic and power steering available in the Baja Broncos starting in '71. Looks like this truck has both.

My neighbor has a Stroppe. It's in kinda bad shape though fairly rust free. What would the value of my neighbor's be? Heard there was only 500 made, is that true?
That's a good estimate on the number made. Worth a lot!
Boatarde congrats vai amém bom
It's kind of sad to see all these bronchos collecting dust.
How do you get on - Why I Drive?
Be a cool person with a cool story and a cool car! Drop us a line: video@hagerty.com
Can a guy get his hands on one Bronco? JUST ONE?!?!
What wheels are those?
US Indy mags
The right man with the right mentality in the right car in the right landscape , love a car like that , love a storage area like that , love wall to wall anything that makes you happy ,..in the dry this pisses me off but i respect to the man , but as am stuck here in ' PC ' [ ' politically correct ' , maybe not actually just run for the elite . ] Britain , im still pissed watching it ...GRRRR! !
Driving a $100,000 Bronco, with 15 other Broncos in the garage collecting dust. Fucking rich people.
My 74 is my happy place. Wife not so much
I drive to go to work. That’s all.
i seriously do not understand why people keep records of old oil changes etc its insane to keep so much paperwork trash!
I think most folks who say things like this are incapable of actually having the diligence to keep all of them.
He is a brain surgeon. For real.
> Normal PP being happy and cool
> SJWs failed to copy this concept, being unhappy to mess the world and buying crap new SUVs
1st comment
I try, kkkk
So you can't make memories with driving other brands ?... This was so blatant advertising...
Maybe, may not. It appeared more to be car content for car people who love cars.
Seems like he had plenty of memories in a Volkswagen
