1968 Classic Ford Bronco Sport
My Bronco was originally purchased new in 1968 by my Grandfather "George" who I've named it after. I grew up riding around in it when I was a kid. It has its original 289 V8 with 108k miles. I inherited it about 7 years ago and have started some mods and general restoration. I plan to keep it in the family and pass it down to my boys. We take it off road to the mountains, Beach, & on camping trips - making memories...
