It's a Bronco wagon with a 302 V8 built in Michigan. The R15xxx indicates the date and serial of build, but I don't have those details. Probably mid-70s. That's all you can get from the VIN, unless you are Kevin Marti and have access to Ford's old records. Marti can tell you all the build details - www.martiauto.com

Sounds like it might be a 73, or perhaps 74. But I’m no expert. Several experts here, however, including Okie. They should see this question in a few minutes and give you an answer.
But know that the only information that a VIN shows on a bronco, are the model type, engine type, manufacturing plant, and sequential serial number.
All other pertinent information is on the warranty plate on the glove box or kick panel.

And a Marti report will tell you all the rest.
