Dean Jeffries Connection
When new in 73 Dean Jeffries customized and signed this Bronco, Dean Jeffries was a legendary car builder and one of the founding fathers of custom paint work. Just some of his credits include The Monkees GTO from the popular TV show, The Green Hornet Black Beauty, The Mantaray which won the special constructors award at the 1964 Oakland Roadster Show. Dean shared a love of racing with friends like Carrol Shelby, and movie legend James Dean, Jeffries lettered, and striped the actors “Little Bastard” Porsche 550 Spyder weeks before the tragic accident that claimed his life. Dean Jeffries died at the age of 80 in 2013, in researching the signed artwork I was able to contact Deans son Kevin Jeffries for authentication, in an email response to photographs I sent Kevin stated “I of course cannot be 100% certain, but the lettering style of the signed name and the detail on the front of the hood is very much his style. You likely have found an original.” I will include a copy of the correspondence with the sale, out of respect for the family I will not participate in attempting to acquire further authentication.
