1975 Ford "super Bowl" Denver Bronco Special Win Broncos on 2040-cars

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!!!
