Marti Statistics?

[dmoses42]

People on here are always talking about Marti reports, and I get it, everyone wants to know all the details about their Bronco. And they give out statistics on each report if you pay for it, "Your Bronco is one of 87 built this year with XXXX package..." But what if what you want to know isn't a original detail for your Bronco? I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago asking about Scandia Green Broncos, basically seeing if anyone had pictures of one in that color. I wonder if Marti could provide a statistic on how many were produced in that color (overall or for a particular year) or other general statistical details someone was looking for. Has anyone contacted them for something like this? I was just sitting here "drinking and thinking" so I thought I'd ask...

The number of broncos painted a certain color is one of the statistics on a Marti every time.

Since Scandia Green was not a Bronco color It would be listed as "Special Paint".
The Marti statistic would list a number for all special paint Broncos.

I could be wrong I'm drinking too %^)

And if I’m not mistaken, in the past, they have shown a great reluctance to share any basic statistics.
The only ones they willingly provide are for a specific vehicle requested and paid for by a customer getting the report.
At least that’s what I remember. But at least I haven’t been drinking!

Possibly the difference is you’re probably not snowed in, Paul

 

[DirtDonk]

True!
Might even go to the beach today. Dodging rain drops in the sand is really good exercise...
Nah, then I'd have to fight the traffic of all the other like-minded minions that were heading for the snow, but got the directions backwards!

My Marti Report lists the options and ends with "1 was produced with a Locking Gas Cap and (VIN) is that Bronco. I always thought that was cool - 1 of 1

Even if that was some odd, random option, it’s definitely cool to have one or one of anything! And frankly, I forgot you could even get a locking cap from the factory. Probably a 74 or later thing? Saw a few 69s with them around here in our group, but was assuming they were added later.
What year is your Bronco?

Good call on the post '74 - it's a '77 and has dual locking gas caps (with doors, of course). The other option that made it "special" was white sidwall tires (1 of 2 orange with parchment vinyl sport seats and California Emissions).

That's amazing if it still has the original locking caps! I'd probably put regular caps on it to use unless I was showing it or selling it to save wear and tear on them!

Marti can break most any car down into 1 of 1 with enough options. It's easier to do with the Mustangs because they had such an extensive options list, but even to get to one of one with your Bronco, Marti had to dig deep into the options and use whitewall tires and locking gas cap to get to that 1 of 1.

How many options did he have to list to get down to the 1 of 1 with all those options? I've seen lists of at least nine. I wonder what the longest list is to get to 1 of 1.

In 1991, when I was shopping for a new Mustang GT, I found a 1 of 1. I doubt it was intentional or recorded, but there was one still with the plastic on the seats that had 3 Goodyear tires and one Michelin. I pointed it out to the salesman and he was like "huh? oh, yeah, well.... I'm gonna have to find out about that." I said "if I buy that one, can I get a discount?" He said " I don't think I can sell that one right now..." That one was in Chattanooga, and I ended up buying one in Atlanta. It was one of my less than stellar decisions, as I traded my first Bronco in on it. Traded in a 1974 red Bronco Ranger with less than 100k and a new paint job and no rust, and only got $3700 trade-in. Just about what I had in it, maybe a little less. Sometimes it's quite costly to be stupid.

Marti listed 6 options to get to 1 of 1; the orange paint narrowed it to 582, Parchment Knit Vinyl Sport Seats to 186 and California Emissions Systems knocked it to 13.

I still have and use the original locking caps with the original key.
