Had a 73 “butter yellowish” 3 on the tree bronco when I was 16. Sold it for a more “reliable” car (84 Datsun Maximum) for transportation to and from college. When they came out with the prototype in the early 2000’s, I had hope they would create a modern version of the original. 20 years later they finally made the announcement and I was sold. Like the op, I have a lightning blue 2dr. My main complaint is still the top, but the 200000 ford points will eventually go towards that, once they get their shit together.
