1975 Special Edition Denver Bronco - VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION NUMBERS
- Original Factory Paint
- Hard to find UNCUT fenders
- Original Paperwork w/ Marti Report
History: This particular Bronco was factory prepped by Ford and painted the Stroppe Baja Edition colors with the expectations of being delivered and completed by Bill Stroppe's shop in Long Beach, CA. However, in late '74 Bill Stroppe abruptly ended his contract with Ford Motor Co which left the auto maker with a surplus of Poppy Red, Whimbeldon White, and Metallic Blue painted Broncos. Some were later painted all white with Ranger Edition stripes, some all orange with white Ranger Edition stripes, and some orange and white w/ white tops. As you can see, this one came with the true Baja colors minus the black hood. The remaining Broncos (somewhere between 50-100) were delivered to Golden Motors Ford in Denver, CO and then distributed throughout the state. Once at the dealerships, each Bronco was given custom touches, mostly consisting of rear cut fenders for larger tires or left completely stock in uncut form. This Bronco was initially sold through Arnold Bros Motor Co in Boulder, CO to the original owner as a blank "Stroppe intended" canvas. As eBay does not allow links, please research this particular model online and you'll see just how many are on the road today!
I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle and have had it for just over 8yrs. I bought it off of an older gentleman that lived in Aurora, CO and used the rig throughout the mountain passes of Denver and Boulder. It's seen many miles of back roads and the paint carries the patina and scars to prove it. I've spent the past several years getting it back to proper driving conditions with the following items added. Everything I did to the Bronco was done in a manor that would retain the history and rarity of the Bronco while still giving it a better than stock feel when on and off the road. All items below have roughly 1,200 miles on them since being installed.
Specs: - 302 V8: Previous owner had the engine rebuilt and now has 41k miles on it.
- C-4 Automatic: Rebuilt by Leverrett Transmission in Reno, NV
- Dana 44 w/ 4.10s: inner and outer bearings & seals
- Ford 9" w/ 4.11s: inner and outer bearings & seals
- Dana 20 transfer case w/ poly mounting bushings and all new seals and gaskets-shifts and locks up smoothly
- 4500# GVW Package
- PS w/ replacement steering pump (box needs new seals and will be included in the deal)
- All new drum brakes, hardware, shoes, soft lines and hard lines
- 2.5" Toms Bronco Parts Stage 4 suspension kit w/ 11pk rear springs, progressive coils, ProComp shocks, and all new poly c-bushings
- BFG KM2s 31x10.5x15 plus full spare
- New entire front steering linkage, adjustable track bar, and ball joints
- Warn locking hubs, new hub assembly and lock rings, wheel studs and nuts
- Rebuilt drivelines w/ new u-joints
- Rebuilt Motorcraft 2100 carb performed by Competition Carburetion LLC (might need minor adjustments depending on where you live)
- 2 1/4" exhaust w/ aftermarket mufflers (sound like MagnaFlows w/ an aggressive rumble)
- Toms Bronco Parts stock rear gas tank, new sending units and lines (aux tank is clean and empty but not hooked up)
- All new wires, plugs, belts, hoses, lines, etc.
- Original parchment vinyl floor mat and headliner
- New Rosette Parchment Upholstery
- Original hubcaps included
- Deluxe Marti Report
- Original paperwork & receipts of current work
Now, for the part that matters most to those Bronco fanatics out there. This Bronco has rust. It spent all of but 8yrs in the CO environments and needs attention. I had plans to keep the original paint and fix only the immediate spots needing attention (floorpans, inner fenders, rear bed corner, and tailgate) but life has kept me out of the garage. This Bronco is the PERFECT candidate for either a driver, a partial restoration, or full body-off restoration. I want it to go to someone looking to preserve a piece of automotive history and take it back to its former glory. As for the other areas of concern, the power steering box needs new seals as there is some wheel play and slow leak (sale will include a rebuilt seal kit in the sale). The gauge cluster will need rebuilt as temperature and oil work but then drop as you drive. Bronco accelerates, tracks, drives, and brakes straight. I love this rig but just can't give it the time and attention it deserves. As you can see by the photos included, I'm trying to be as honest and forthcoming of the condition. This Bronco is priced at a fair value when compared to what you could make on it after completing the restoration. If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures please do not hesitate to contact me directly at brodymuell@gmail.com. I will try and respond as quickly as possible.

The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.

Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.

What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
