When Bill Stroppe suggested that Parnelli Jones 'Wasn't man enough for off-road racing,' he inadvertently changed the face of the sport forever. Having run an almost stock Ford Bronco in the 1968 Baja 1000, Jones knew that it was going to take more to be competitive. Using all he had learned, he created 'Big Oly' which changed the design principles and construction for off-road racers forever. Powered by a 351 cubic-inch 390 horsepower Ford Windsor V8 engine and featuring a chrome-moly space-frame, fiberglass and aluminum bodywork, and huge suspension travel, 'Big Oly' went on to win the BAJA 1000 outright in 1971 and 1972 and the BAJA 500 in 1973.
This 'Big Oly Ford Bronco' was designed, constructed and owned by Vel's Parnelli Jones Racing. Parnelli Jones drove it with co-driver and navigator, Bill Stroppe. The builder and chief mechanic was 'Tricky Dick' Russell.
The car has a steel tube space frame with twin I-Beam front suspension and trailing arm rear suspension, all with coil springs. The front track is 58-inches and the rear is 60-inches on a 93-inch wheelbase, with 8x15 inch aluminum front wheels and 10x15 aluminum rear wheels. They have Indy style knock-off wing wheel nuts. The Monroe shock absorbers have 15-inch travel. It is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes.
The car is powered by a 351 cubic-inch, 390 horsepower, Ford Windsor V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor, coupled to a C-6 Ford automatic transmission by B&M Hydro. it has a top speed of 150 miles-per-hour.
This car won the 1971 Baja 1000, the 1972 Baja 1000, the 1973 Baja, and 1973 Mint 400.
