Original owners

[Bitch'nBronco]

Anyone ever look up the original owner of your Bronco to ask about what the first owner experience was like? (Im sure there are some original owners in forum)

I got a Marti the other day, and started researching the original dealership and made me think about what it would have been like to buy it new in 67.

I found the dealer sticker, ane a picture of the dealership.

Fun finding out (as a golden retriever owner) that it came from Golden Motors Ford in Golden, CO and that it had the belt line trim. I had no idea. I had AI colorized the dealer and park a holly green bronco in front of it.

I love the minute detail you can learn from a Marti Report! You can even tell that the Bronco you have was ordered the way it was by the original owner because it says "ORDER TYPE : RETAIL" If it says Order type : Stock it was ordered by the dealership for their inventory.

I owned a Boss Mustang that was ordered in Acapulco Blue by a young man whose dad owned a beer distributorship. During the wait time for it to come in he spots a big wing Dodge Daytona and buys it. The Boss 302 arrives at Paul Miller Ford in Lexington, Ky and his best friend goes by to look at it, loves it, and he ends up buying!

I looked up the original owner and after some internet sleuthing i got their number and called them. Nicest people ever. "oh i remember that bronco!" We spoke for while, couple in their late 80's. Interestingly enough mine also was bought at golden motors in golden colorado!

On my 66' u14 I did some searching and digging and googling on the original owner and the 2nd owner as well. Pretty interesting stories, I'll post it up and the timeline as well. Alot of the information was in a brown paper sack in the bronco when I bought it.

I bought my '67 from the original owner 12 years ago. He lives a few blocks away and I still see him every once in a while. He was 75 when he sold me the Bronco, so he's 87 now. I wonder how many more years he has to see me and the Bronco. It's pretty cool to hear stories of the Bronco during his ownership - you build a lot of memories over 47 years.

Hi BitchnBronco, you got me thinking about my Bronco's history. I have a folder full of past ownership information. I will look for it today. And I need to finally order a Marti report for mine.

Its worth it in my opinion, im halfway tempted to order the window sticker reproduction from Marti... but I dont really know what I'd do with it once I had it, aside from maybe frame it.

Wild how just knowing where it was originally sold from has made me want to trace a little of its history. The guy I bought it from was a trucker that repossessed high end landscaping boulders lol.
