67 dash color

[joe]

So I heard that 67's had their own dash color???
Experts please chime in...

Light Parchment............... whether it was semi-gloss or gloss I don't know though.

I thought the early years dashes were gray...was that only 66?

Yeah 66' was bronco gray poly, 67' was light parchment.

Like anything with Ford production back then, it's probably possible that a very early '67 might have had an older '66 gray one left over used on it. Which might be where the info that '67's had them could have come from.

Or someone painted one 'cause they liked it and lots of people saw it.

There's a beautiful '76 on Craigslist right now (cheap too it looks to me from a distance anyway) that has '77 gas doors and the associated vertical side-marker lights.
Looks like a lot of effort was put into it (interior, paint and engine) but missing smog stuff so might be tough to register in CA. But if you live elsewhere, this might be a deal.
Would like to see it's VIN to see if it's really a '76 or a mis-labeled '77. Or just right at the cusp of the changeover.

I also thought 66 only the gray dash and silver seats.

Light Parchment in a Satin finish.

Correct, Gray Poly dash with silver seats, unless it was a Pony Package which were usually late '66s.

Fueling the rumors!!! LOL Is there any definitive proof of a factory Pony Interior in a Bronco? There's strong circumstantial evidence but not sure I've seen absolute confirmation of this. I like the idea and I did a Pony Interior "tribute" build awhile back. Just curious if you have seen some documentation? Thanks.

No documentation, but this proved everything to me:

Thanks! I don’t remember seeing that thread before. Pretty convincing.

Anytime!

I agree, like others I thought maybe it was a dealer option. But as unmolested as that Bronco was, I'd say all those different features were factory.

I remember seeing the thread, if there was just one sentence somewhere in some literature though. Any chance those broncos had the same build month, same colors or any other commonality besides the seats, etc?
