What is a “Ford Denver Bronco?”

This 1975 Bronco had apparently been manufactured and prepared by Ford for Bill Stroppe to become a Baja Bronco. However, Bill Stroppe abruptly and without notice, ceased doing business in November of 1974 for unknown reasons. Ford was likely trying desperately to liquidate these specially painted vehicles as they were now surplus without a home. Therefore, all of the "initial" Denver Broncos Special Edition Broncos were only 1975 models with manufacture dates on the driver’s side door sticker of 11/##/1974 or earlier.

Apparently, all DSO 763000 Broncos delivered to Golden Motors Ford and then redistributed to other dealers in the area. Several Denver residents remember the Denver Broncos all lined up at the dealership; they all say it was quite a sight to behold.

This Denver has 49k original miles and the motor was rebuilt once to stock specs. The Heads and Motor are date coded correct and the frame has the correct VIN number stamped on it. So it is numbers matching. The three speed column shift transmission was replaced with a top loader four speed.

I decided to restore this Bronco to help tell their unique story, since the report shows there were only 77 Denver Specials Produced. There are approximately 450-650 Baja Stroppe Broncos Produced from the years 1971-75. It is likely that the 77 “Denver Specials” produced should have been converted to Bill Stroppe Baja Broncos.

The Marti Report states that there were only 77 Denver Specials produced and out of those 77 only two had these options. You are looking at one of the two with rumors of its twin being crushed. So these Denver’s where not produced by Ford to become Denver’s they were made after the production. Kind of a fun story to tell and most people have never seen or heard of them before…

My Bronco was registered to appear at the Scottsdale Auction. It was denied because the staff didn’t know what it was. They called later asking if I wanted to have it appear in West Palm Beach. So if you looked for it at the auction sorry it wasn’t there. At the R&S Vegas Auction in September of 2013 the bid went to $55,000.00 but did not meet the reserve. This is a beautiful Bronco and the ONLY Denver Restored to this magnitude. Everyone who sees it enjoys its history and the feedback has been great!!!!

I have pictures of every single part that was powder coated or painted. New Parchment interior, Lots more pictures and some videos available upon request....

Thanks for Reading and I hope you have enjoyed this Denver and Win Broncos!!!

2015 Ford F-150 specs revealed, EcoBoost 2.7L to make 325 hp and 375 lb-ft [w/video]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Our new man Greg Migliore is in attendance at a Ford media event at the Blue Oval's Dearborn, MI headquarters today, and he's reported in with a handful of the 2015 F-150 stats that we've been dying to know. Ford is slow-playing the news release here, but we can still offer up some interesting output and performance figures after half-year of waiting.
We have all be quite aware that Ford's shift to aluminum construction would save a lot of weight for F-150 models, and the results we're hearing now are duly impressive. For instance: in Super Crew trim, a 2015 F-150 is a whopping 732-pounds lighter than was its closest 2014-model-year equivalent. That's like hauling three middle-aged dudes to your bowling alley's league night for free. Polish your balls, guys.
Ford isn't willing to offer up any actual curb weights just yet, but if we take that 732-pound loss and extrapolate with the 5,128-pound curb weight of the 2014 F-150 Super Crew with the 3.7-liter V6, we can guesstimate that 2015 models will measure out in the 4,400-pound range. That's impressive.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response

Fri, Jan 25 2019

Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.
