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!!!

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.

eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is showroom fresh

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

There's an ultra-rare Ford Thunderbird for sale on eBay, although it's not quite the T-Bird you're probably thinking. This is a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, complete with a five-speed manual transmission and just a shade over 13,000 miles on the clock. The condition is said to be mint, and judging by the interior and exterior pictures, we're inclined to believe the seller. The paint is glossy and the interior looks showroom new, while the underbody is stunningly clean for a 36-year-old car.
Underhood sits a 2.3-liter, intercooled and turbocharged four-cylinder (also found in the Mustang SVO) that was producing 190 horsepower when it left the factory. Inside, the five-speed manual transmission adds to the car's rarity. The vehicle's sole owner has been as immaculate with the paperwork as he has with the rest of the car - it's all there, including brochures and other product material.
The eBay auction ends tomorrow at midnight (9:00 PM if you're on America's west coast). Bidding has reached $10,200, and there's still plenty of time to get in on this future classic. The vehicle is located in Millstone Township, NJ.
