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.

Sunday Drive: Rendering the future at Jeep and Ford

Sun, Apr 8 2018

Last week brought us quite a wide variety of automotive news nuggets, and judging by the response of our own readership, the Jeep Wrangler pickup truck led the way. It's not expected to hit the sales floor until April of 2019, which means we've all got an entire year to wait, but that just means we have lots of time to anticipate its arrival. And we do so today with a series of renderings that show what the so-called Scrambler may look like in a few different colors. Another set of renderings depicting a hotly anticipated new vehicle follow just behind. The Baby Bronco – will Ford ante up to the retro-inspired table and call it the Bronco II? – will be one size smaller than the regular-grade Bronco, and we think it'll compete with the Jeep Renegade as a subcompact crossover with some real off-road chops. Moving onto some tuners, both old and new(er), we first present a sweet old Dodge Ram pickup truck tuned by none other than Carroll Shelby himself. The blue and silver striped truck looks so period perfect that it stands out as a star even alongside a quartet of vintage Shelby Mustangs with which it will share space at the Bonhams auction in Greenwich, Conn., this June. And finally we turn our attention to the Hennessey Veliciraptor, an absolute behemoth of a truck. Based on the most excellent Ford Raptor, the Velociraptor ups the crazy quotient with six wheels and 600 hundred horsepower. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the latest automotive news.

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.

Ford barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.
