The 1973 Bill Stroppe "Fulton Family" Baja Bronco is finally completed with a frame off restoration. I would estimate it took approximately 5 years. The truck is now in the hands of the new owner, a Bronco/Stroppe museum in the Denver area. I have attached a lot of pictures including pictures of it racing in the 70's, pictures prior to restoration (as found), pictures during restoration and finally the finished product. We are very proud of the results we achieved. We hope you enjoy the journey as depicted by the pictures.

I could only see one page of about 4-5 pics...but maybe that was just me. Anyway I'm sure it came out great!

Great job on the Baja. I'm curious if that Bronco/Baja museum is in Denver Colorado? If so, is it an actual museum or more of a personal collection? I'd love to see all those beauties some time if they are available for viewing!

It’s a personal collection.. and it’s extensive. My Sportsman Special is in that collection now as well.

Absolutely fabulous looking build (re-build?). My wife is “gently” urging me towards the Stroppe orange for my 77.

Nicely done, Mark! I was able to see it at the Sanderson show here in December - thankful that Mike could bring it over for us to see.

Very cool to see the finished product after seeing it on the rotisserie at your shop a few years ago. Great job, Mark!

The new owner's collection is next level!!!

I'm in the Denver area several times a year. Can this collection be visited?

Spetacular! Must tough deciding what to rebuild/repair/replace in light of it's cool background. Where did you find it before the resto?

Saw the post on Facebook. The bronco turned out beautiful! I got to see some of Wayne's collection at the Carlisle Stroppe Reunion. I would love to see his collection in Colorado one day.
