SOLD Mecum 77

Jaxgtc · Feb 28, 2018

Not much in the pipeline for Mecum Auctions, but there is one '77 coming up in May that looks just about perfect. No undercarriage pics, but everything else is nice.

I initially thought low 40s but the market has changed so much that north of 50 might be where it goes. Love that hood stripe.

HA!
That is my twin and/or my future finished product.
I might have to save these shots for reference/ideas.
Only real differences (aside from general fit and finish and SHINY) are the wheels and center console.

Also, that's not "cinnamon" there guys. It's a Z Code - Copper Metallic paint (if reshot code correct). And there were 1,036 Z code 77s produced (180 with the Paint/Trim code for AU [tan cloth]). I only know this because it's on my Marti since Ginger is literally a carbon copy without the beltline chrome.

I have a similar one - 1973

Mine is pretty similar. I like it!

I thought of you when I saw it Matt. It is your truck, minus the patina. Looked like a Z to me too. I thought the engine shots might help with the AC belt question you had. Looks like they upgraded the compressor to a newer model.

Looks like my Ginger (except for the uncut) but mine had a Black dash. Was the tan dash a later model color or someone put that on for the restoration?

Bronco Junkie · Mar 1, 2018

WOW, that is nice. I am going to say $60,000.

Tan dash was part of 1977 tan ranger package. Although that one (mecum) doesn't look all that tan.

Just like it except it’s been rolled

My garage has some shots, but if y'all want something in particular, just ask.
1977 Ranger with AU [tan cloth] interior. [yes, I've cleaned it up a lot since this shot. It was when I was looking to buy it. There are no more spider webs in the pillars

I have what appears to be a Ranger seat, not sure on originality but it's in pretty decent shape if anyone is looking for one....I dunno what it's worth but I'd rather not re-cover a good seat.

Jaxgtc · Mar 2, 2018

Boy that looks like a nice one.

Brians1113 · Mar 2, 2018

that is a nice example of how they should look.
I have a 74 Ranger that is Ginger metallic, repainted ext once, rest all original...jambs, engine bay, interior.
There is a local shop here in NJ that found NOS houndstooth and the bown/camel material and redid my seats- came out great.
My guess on the Bronco is 60-70,000.

Brians1113 · Mar 2, 2018

I do have a question, does anyone know the correct steering wheel for a 74? Mine was replaced with a stock wheel, but not sure if correct year? many thanks, Brian

I just posted this before seeing this thread. Sorry. It never reached reserve with a 50g bid last year. The listing says 65 to 75 and that's not counting buyers premium

Slowleak · May 6, 2018

I see a Dennis Carpenter wheel and horn pad. It’s missing the silver oval around the Ford logo in the center of the pad. This reproduction stuff just gets worse all the time........

BruiserOutdoors · May 7, 2018

looks fairly clean but if you're gonna build it that nice why not clean or restore the hubs (rusty and faded), the shifter knob and the trim looks less than perfect...... its the little things to me. curious to see how the frame and suspension was restored.

Funny I had that same igloo cooler in my first Bronco.
