No such thing from the factory. Either some small company done some mods to it, or some individual did and slapped some stickers on it. I wouldn't pay more for it because of it having those few mods.

"This Bronco has...light bar which is missing"

Interesting selling strategy. If I ever sell mine it's going to have a Boss 429 which is missing.

Incorrect. This was a special package offered by Ford dealers in a few states, specific to 1968.

I've actually been looking for one for the last 10 years or so. As to how rare it is? I've found more Stroppes that the owners didnt know were Bajas than I've found Sportsman Specials.

I currently know of one in Colorado (several have shown up there) and one from Minnesota (which was sold on eBay to someone in California back in 2005. There's another that was for sale in Washington in August of last year. Not sure what happened to it.

The special features included the obvious badging, but also a gun rack / fishing rod holder, roof rack, extra chrome bits, and possibly other options.

Another package specific to certain dealers in certain states was the "Northland Package." Do a search here for more information on that.

To the poster who found this - very cool, and thank you for taking the time to post it. I would have missed it.

Thats a pretty cool package, I think there are still quite a few Bronco owners and Broncos used for hunting still. Would be a need trim pack for an avid hunter to have.

I stand corrected. These must be extremely rare. I don't ever remember seeing one, and didn't know of this until now.

I was wondering if it was for real or not. Thought this would be the best place to find out.

I just want to make it clear that I dont think the Sportsman Specials should command any sort of added value based on the package. I simply love fishing and hunting, and love the idea of a truck being kitted out specifically for those purposes.

Now-a-days you see Nissan Xterras with kayak racks, Honda Elements that are meant to be washed out after surfing and hauling the dogs to the beach, or Ford Raptors meant for doing airborne burner backflip endo donuts.

With the Sportsman Special Ford was saying "Here, use this, go out and KILL something." That's fantastic.

Imagine what PETA would do if, tomorrow, Ford put out an F-150 marketed specifically for hunting and fishing?

I'm not sure if that big PTO bumper on the yellow truck was part of the package or not. It makes sense that it would be, but it's the only one I've seen with the PTO bumper.
