It has the special decor package that includes chrome window trim, black grille and these stripes. I think three different color stripes were offered. White, yellow, and black

Winner!!

Thanks! The yellow had me stumped.

Anyone have a picture of a Bronco in Medium Copper with Yellow decals?

Will there is a thread here on special decor with a few on it. Mine was originally but long been repainted. Good to see another with a white roof.

Pictures of the new 77?

I would think that's a pretty rare Special Decor with the Yellow Stripes.

Found a yellow stripe thread, seems to be a pretty rare color. Mine has been repainted a brighter orange with no stripe but is fortunately a CA/TX pretty much rust free Bronco. Working on good pictures.

I know the factory brochures can be incorrect but interesting the color combo wasn't one normally offered as a combination for the yellow stripe.

I'd like to see a Raven Black with a yellow stripe!

Hi Eric, I remember seeing a Cooper with yellow stripes. Search for: Is this bronco real?

Hyghlndr - does yours have a padded dash pad? I noticed it wasn't listed and I believe they were optional in 77 (like the front passenger seat). It could have been part of the Special Decor package.
BTW That is a cool color combo.

Very cool!! It is a Special Décor model with the rarer yellow stripe. These normally have a color matched top but yours is deleted for the white top, this was also a rarer option.

The inside grill would have been black, the headlight rings would have been black and the front of the core support would have been black.

Curios, what are the productions numbers on the right side of the Marti Report? What was the original color of the Bronco?

Here is my 76 Sport Special Décor.

 

[hyghlndr]

Hi, there is no dash pad in it currently. I will have to check for screw holes, would it still have them even without the pad?

I only have the really basic report so the production numbers are not there.

 

[stout22]

I would think the screw holes would be missing if it never had the dash pad

Hey stout, I had a basic '77 bronco about 30 yrs ago that almost everything was delete. I believe by the end of '76 ford probably was using up all the parts on the shelf n running out.

I have a 76 Sport Special Décor as well. I've been working on the core support and see no indication that it was ever painted black. I also have a white top, but don't know if that's original equipment. It seems like Ford was all over the place with these.

I haven't ordered the Marti Report yet but do have a Ford Research letter (no longer available). It doesn't mention top color, but does list the body color as "Tangerine". Tangerine is also listed in my Ford Service manuals, but others on this forum say that Tangerine was marketed as Cyan Red.

The white top was a 'delete option' per Ford documentation for the Special Decor trucks. The body color top was standard.
