Early Broncos in Sweden - One sitting for 35 years

[snoddas]

Hi,
Got a call from a gentlemen here in Sweden.
He tell me that he own a 1974 Bronco Sport. It have been sitting in his garage for over 35 years.
We talk some but wasent at the same level. Got the feeling that value, value and value was the most important.

Dont know what will happen to the Bronco but I assume it will be at some auction or such in the future.

Its from same lot of Broncos that the Swedish Gov ordered from Ford.
It was 16 Broncos, a lot of features and special paint code.
The final destination for them was Power Company here in Sweden.

Mine is from same order. Marti Report state that it was ordered 16 from this DSO.

For the information its not so many early Broncos here then these 16 and I dont know how many have rotten away. The climate here sucks!

Thanks,
Anders

Looks to be in very good condition.

Are those wipers on the headlights???

Any idea what the bracket in the middle of the front bumper is for?

The red knob on the left side of the dash, is that for a PTO? Power companies here will pull wire with winches.

Was this something you were hoping to pick up or share information with the owner?

 

[snoddas]

Yes, wipers. Mine also have PTO, they may had winsch but dont know.
Have never seen winsch bumpers on any.
Think its like a hook. Havent seen it only got pics from owner.

He called me and dont really know why.
Its very interesting when cars its parked for 35 years though.

Also that its a early Bronco.

Have dont any attention to buy it. He know what he have and I dont have that kind of money.

Glad I have one

Yeah baby, 1 of 16!

Love the paint scheme!! Very old school “California”

Would love to see the build specs. We’re they built with stock C4 transmissions? It sounds like you have the same one.... Can you share your Marti Report?

Kind of looks like a rubber bumper on his front stock bumper to save his driving lights.

 

[snoddas]

Could be but do think its for pulling or such should be a bolt to it also.

I traveled to Stockholm (and sometimes the countryside) several times on business and pleasure and got to know some folks quite well. I was told that there are really only two seasons there - the cold wet season and the warm wet season.

Beautiful place I hope to get back to again someday.

Let me know if you will visit Stockholm again.

A Bronco first for me.

I should have asked for some details and pictures. Are the motors from a MB or? Do they have more than 1 speed?

How about a squirt nozzle?

Does yours have similar features?

Thanks for sharing.

Those wipers are nuts! I'd love to see how that linkage is all hooked up...

I would think the are single motors per side with some kind of synchronized switch?
