    That bronco had the freewheeling package that’s why it had those sweet stripes.

    That stripe package on the bronco is factory, they called em chromatic stripes and they were reflective. They’ve gotten more and more popular recently and have gone absolutely through the roof in price.

      It's possible the 460 is stock and the paint scheme is a rare package deal from a company back in the day they took a certain amount of them years and did them paint schemes on them they call then sandbox paint jobs or something like that...that dude that had his bed blow up has a good video about the paint jobs on them old Ford's his channel is called Ford era

    That long Bonneville at the 26:00ish mark is an airport car. Some of them came even longer then that one and had 6 doors. Basically a bare bones limo for chartering a small bus load of fancy folks from one flight to the next.

      Good for you for saving it, used to see tons of them in the 70s and 80s. My uncle owned a navy blue 1978 Mercury Monarch. Although, the Granadas and Monarchs were true shitboxes...They always had garbage running issues like faulty carburetors. The GM and Mopar offerings were better built. The Aspen and Volare also trash, but the Lebaron and Diplomat fared better in reliability.

Nice to Have. dam luv the ford Walk thru.

    Had a ford granada back in the 80's. My friends called it a grenade. Eaton up by lack of oil changes and illinois salt. The left B-pillar was rusted away at the rocker panel, so the driver door did not close some times. scary car to take on road trips. I blew the engine one night driving back from the U of I. Put a 302 in it. Then the 302 had a burnt valve so I put the heads from the 351W on the 302. Worked like a champ. "good" memories.

    I had a 78 Granada when I was going to engineering school. 200CI straight sixer with an automatic. It was at least two different colors, and the doors sagged so badly that when you got in, you had to pull up harder than you pulled in. It had some form of lunacy in the power steering system that bound up so hard that when it broke loose the steering wheel spun like two full rotations. Like Uncle Buck. After that, it was full brute strength steering. :) The body just fell apart on that old girl. The driveline was still purring like a kitten when we scrapped it.

    But it was a damn good rig .
    The nxt rig we got was a new 77 suburban ..

    That long door modded Bonneville was an airport courtesy vehicle..had two bench seats in the back that faced each other. You could ferry a whole family in the back and luggage in the truck from an airport to a different terminal or hotel. A friend of mine in HS, her father, had a 6 door Lincoln Continental. It had two regular doors on each side and an added suicide door that was for the stretch segment and third row seating. It was amazing and he refused to sell it to me? It had a for sale sign on it in 88 and 89. I graduated in 1989 and the friend went away to a college so I missed out on a fantastic LC. And a Corvair too? And I Love me some Creeper Vans. I had an AT&T service van 1500, had the cage behind the front seats that rattled me crazy. The back was carpeted, no rust at all and it was a manual trans 5 speed. My mom said it was a POS. and I wasted my money on a lemon? I drove it for 4 yrs with zero problems except 1 flat. I loved that van....

    My old Shovelhead Chopper ran a magneto and an old timer told me to cut the tip of a tampon off and put that under the cap. It's the "mag on the rag" trick to soak up any condensation that could keep the bike from firing up.

    The truck you were talking about from Instagram was actually at Ford fest in bowling Green Kentucky 2022 and I was in the grandstands when it happened it had a Godzilla motor under the hood it was epic

      The guy that owns that truck has a You Tube channel called Ford Era. He recently bought a huge warehouse and yard full of Ford trucks and has some really rare ones. He has like 3 70's era 4 door Broncos from Brazil and Mexico that are pretty cool and a 72 F250 called Gold Dust with a Cummins I beleive that is badass. Check out his channel to find his videos..

    Always cool to see the junkyard tours! I can't believe that white Ford pickup is getting crushed, not a spot of rust anywhere. Some good stuff there, everything up my way is rusty junk.

    I do agree, that scout needs to come home with you, if I had the money, I would buy it and have it shipped. It needs to be saved.
