And here is the other one that is just a frame, warranty tag and title.

Here's a interesting one.
1970 with a bench seat, Sport package and a 170 6 cylinder .

That will be interesting, I wonder if Marti will find out how many Explorer's were built or group them into Sport's ?

I also have a '72 explorer sport. I thought I'd read somewhere that Ford decided to add the explorer package in 1972.to generate more sales. .. and if you ordered your rig over winter (slow sales months), you would get the 'Explorer' package - special color cloth seats, flooring, glovebox badge, and door panels - and in 72 the also gave you the sport package... so every winter of 1971 order would have been delivered as a 1972 explorer sport.

3006 explorer sports were built in 1972. Mine was one of 96 in Seapine Green

A Sea Pine Green Explorer Sport is one of my favorite of the Explorer Sports.

Have you posted your Marti? I've been tracking 72 E/S paint colors and have a number of Seapine Green E/S but no Marti. I'd love to add it to my collection if possible. I have a Candyapple Red I'm starting work on now. I just started a build thread. Turns out Candyapple Red is my favorite 72 Explorer Sport color. Weird.

Red 72 Explorer Sport Patina Rebuild

This has been a long time coming. I purchased this truck in May of 2016 in Gunnison, CO. It lived on my alley, 1 block from my house. It had been sitting for 5+ years when I bought it. The owner said something went wrong in the rear axle, he drove it home in front wheel drive and parked it...

@gunnibronco I noticed on you chart you list color code X as Durango Tan. I have a 1972 Explorer Sport but the Marti report lists color code X as Light Goldenrod.

I would think some of those 15 remaining would have to be Wimbledon white and Raven black. Hopefully some of those missing will turn up.

What years? I probably do for most years.

Maybe they’re the same color? Ford had a way of changing names year by year, for the same color.
What does other codes/part numbers say for color code X on the charts?

It's the same color. The Explorer Sport was advertised as having Durango Tan paint, which is the same thing as X Light Goldenrod.

I have a couple of '72 U14 Sports and I'll try to post them up.

Looking at a 71 Ranger a couple of pages back with X-Durango Tan paint code, they are definitely the same color. How about the whopping 82 horsepower at 4200 rpm? Not bad for a go cart, but not up to par with side by sides.

When I started looking for these paint codes I heard "there were rumors of red and blue Explorer Sports", but I haven't found any in blue. So who knows. It will be interesting if they ever show up.

 

[BroncoJimbo]

The paint code is 2 - Cayan Red which is really orange.
