Latest Plant Built 1977 Bronco on the road today?

[77-302]

After a few conversations with other owners this summer, it got me thinking... I've seen threads on the Oldest Bronco on the road... but what about they youngest?

When I got my Marti Report I was astonished to see that mine was built during the last week of production prior to shutdown and conversion of the line to the full size 1978 Bronco.

According to my report it was scheduled for June 30th but actually produced on the 21st (no doubt in an effort to clear the line)

It wasn't sold until nearly August of that summer...

So does anyone have a "younger" truck on the road?

Thanks for finding that old thread!!!

From the list including the last post reference from one on eBay in 2008 there were a handful of younger trucks out there.

U15GLZ00120 from eBay

I'm still feeling lucky that I'm in the top 5-10.
Any others?

Just saw one last night that had a VIN very close to yours. I think the door decal said the production date was July '77 though (now that I think about it, it must be June). Should have taken a pic of it for reference, but it's in the driveway of a member here, so it's easy to track down.

So it sounds like it's not at the end then, but like yours, very near.

Mine may be close to the mid-point. Lol. 1-72.

Your only other issue is there are lots of bronco owners that dont lurk on the site. So you could be the top 5-10 here but not the actual #5-10 running around.
I know of about 10 other broncos in my area and only one owner has frequented the site.
