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

2.5" Toms Bronco Parts Stage 4 suspension kit w/ 11pk rear springs, progressive coils, ProComp shocks, and all new poly c-bushings

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.

RTR Spec 5 Concept shows off 2015 Ford Mustang's drifty potential

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
