    Who’s here because of Jay Leno’s garage?

    I remember Parnelli and Bill Stroppe drove this car across the rock and washboard desert of Baja and at one point Parnelli was doing 135mph...so fast that the spotter airplane could not keep up with it. P.J. was a fearless monster behind the wheel of anything he drove!

    I saw this machine at the Mint 400.

    Just saw on Mecum auctions one of two made of the 2024 Bronco DR (desert racer) made with Big Oly colors!

    I remember attending the Mint 400 and hearing that Bronco roar by, I was always under the impression it had a FE 427 not a 351W because of it's speed or PJ just had a very heavy foot.

    Wasn't there another Bronco Baja 1000 racer sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon beer? Ol Pabby?

    I honestly was saying 2.5million. That’s one of a kind

      Well it's worth about 1500 bucks now lol. The new owner crashed it.

    I cannot believe Parnelli let it go .

    I wonder who bought it and if they'll run it or just keep it away and never show it off

    Does anyone now why he is selling it now? Also boy the truck is beautiful

    • @jennifersman7990
      @jennifersman7990 3 роки тому +1

      I doubt he’s driving it now, it’s probably just sitting somewhere taking up space. He probably feels it’s time someone else owned it

    • @moabman6803
      @moabman6803 2 роки тому

      Actually the new owner really tried to race it and rolled it pretty hard.

  • @zippyt.libertine3787
    @zippyt.libertine3787 3 роки тому +1

    Is this the one he was driving when he killed the motorcycle racer in front of him?
    Dumbass thought he could get away with nerfing a bike like he always did with cars.

    I’m not sure about $2M, but it’s an awfully cool truck

      COVID is just a memory according to CDC - no mask required now.
