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!!!

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.

Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
