The Big Oly Baja Trophy Truck is Reborn

When it comes to getting it right forever, there are few machines more awesome then the 1971 Ford Bronco trophy truck known as Big Oly. Marshall Madruga certainly agrees. It took him two years to put this truck together as as a passionate tribute to the original Bill Stroppe Big Oly, driven by Parnelli Jones to greatness in the Baja 1000.

Check out the rest of Big Oly's details, plus lots more photos, at ClunkBucket.

Very VERY cool. I was just watching Parnelli Jones on TV last night on Discovery Channel's Wrecks to Riches.

The number one reason that a '66 Bronco has been my daily driver for the last ten years!
