Why is an eyebrow grille worth more than a standard grille? Uniqueness, rarity, desirability...something others don’t have.

Uniqueness and rarity, only used on the August-early November 65' builds.

My vote is go back original. Wimbledon White over Poppy Red is hard to beat. I'm restoring my Denver. Here's a couple of pictures that may inspire you.

I would restore it back to a Denver Bronco based on current condition. the only issue I see is the Mile high inverted seat edition makes it ultra rare.

The inverted seats is what really sold me on it. I just ordered a Delux Marti report for it. The vin is U15GLV68405 with a DSO of 763000 so I’m nearly positive it’s a Denver edition. I suppose the Marti will prove it. Thanks to everyone for their input! Here’s some more of it.

763000 would be a definite give away :cool:

What is special about a Denver Bronco other than a couple of decals. I'm serious as I don't know.

A Denver is effectively a Stroppe Bronco ordered before the program was cancelled and delivered afterward. So it got no Stroppe upgrades.

Thanks again for the input everyone! The plan I’ve come up with is to get the front fenders, hood and tailgate painted to match. Then upgrade to disc brakes on all 4 wheels, 2.5” lift and 33” tires. Uncut of course.

I spent the last couple days cleaning it to see what I’ve got to work with. I was wondering if anyone knew the name of this interior? I can’t find anything. Thanks again!

The interior is custom from a previous owner.

Take it to an upholstery shop and you can have just about any seat coverings you can possibly imagine done.

My vote is to restore it like original or sell it/trade it for a restomod type build if thats the way you want to go. Looks nice though!

I think you will love it painted in the original color. take the fenders and hood off and do it right.

Just looking for a little insight. I’m about to pull the trigger on the restoration. Here’s a short list of parts I’m about to order. What do you all think of these upgrades to a Denver Bronco? For what’s it’s worth, it will remain uncut and original paint.

Wild Horses vacuum disc brake it
Ron Davis aluminum radiator
Duff column to floor shifter relocation
23 gallon fuel tank
Wild Horses 2.5” suspension lift
