blksn8k2 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Parnelli Jones' multi-time Baja winner "Big Oly" to be on the auction block at Mecum Indy. I'm planning to be there but as just another masked observer. https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0521-461979/1969-ford-bronco-big-oly/?utm_source=BigOlyAnnouncement&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=SC21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blksn8k2 Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Here's a photo of Big Oly as it was being driven to get in line for the auction on Friday. It sold for a paltry $1.87 million! We were talking to Stacy David, the host of the TV show Gears as it went by. He's a really nice guy. He asked us what kind of projects we were working on and of course I said the '75 Bronco. I asked him about his V8 Interceptor '68 Cougar project. He said he had planned to bring it to the auction but ran into a problem with the VIN. Unfortunately, I was trying to get a photo of him and Big Oly at the same time but he was looking at it as it passed by. The other two guys in the photo were in our group. We also spent a couple of hours at the Speedway on Thursday afternoon watching practice for the Indy 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
