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.

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

4500# GVW Package

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.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 01 Feb 2014

Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.

Lincoln plans electrified versions of all models by 2022, say sources

Fri, Sep 8 2017

DETROIT - Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to offer hybrid gasoline-electric versions of all its U.S. models by 2022, according to three sources familiar with the plans. Details could be announced as early as Oct. 3, when Ford Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett plans to update investors on the automaker's strategy. Company officials are also considering whether to introduce one or more all-electric Lincoln models, one source said. The proposed electrification scheme could be critical to Lincoln's future in China, which will require automakers to make electric vehicles an increasing percentage of their total sales. The Lincoln hybrids are part of a broader Ford program to offer at least 18 new electric and hybrid models over the next five years, the sources said. Lincoln aims to follow a path blazed this year by several European premium brands, including Daimler AG, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group's Volvo Cars, BMW and Jaguar Land Rover, all of which have announced plans to offer more hybrid and all-electric vehicles. Global luxury brands are responding to competitive pressure from Elon Musk's Tesla Inc, and proposals by the Chinese government to mandate significantly higher levels of electric vehicle sales in the world's largest auto market. The plan to offer a portfolio of Lincoln hybrid models was crafted before Hackett took over in May, the sources said. Ford said in January 2016 it would spend $4.5 billion to electrify a portion of its U.S. fleet, including hybrid versions of the Mustang and the F-150, and at least 11 other models. The extent of its electrification effort, including details on specific new and redesigned models, has not previously been disclosed. A Ford spokesman said the company would not comment on future products. As the Lincoln brand rolls out redesigned versions of its existing models and introduces at least one new model, it is planning to introduce plug-in hybrid versions of those vehicles, beginning with the redesigned MKC crossover and the new Aviator crossover in 2019, the sources said. The redesigned Lincoln Navigator utility vehicle, which goes on sale this autumn, is expected to add a conventional hybrid version in 2019. Subsequent redesigned Lincoln models, including the MKZ sedan in 2020 and the Continental sedan and MKX crossover in 2022, are expected to include plug-in hybrid variants, the sources said.
