    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 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.

      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

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

    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.
