Post #14 in the 2011 thread explains the repaint:
"This Bronco was transferred from a dealer in California. I guess there was slim pickins with only 212 being made. Anyway it wound up on the east coast. The only things that have been changed are the spark plugs once, tires, and get this he bought a lifetime warranty on the battery the first time he replaced it. Talk about losing your ! It has been repainted he said he let his daughter drive it for a while when she was 18 and someone hit the left fender but he took it away after that. She put 8 to 10k on it then. The mileage is documented by service records. It had a little over 20k on it in 1977 25k on it in 1990 and 26k in 2003. It is very original that is a 40+ year old canvas top."
