Possible Stroppe?

Like building a ship in a bottle. ;D

I know, I gotta remember to take it out of there before I start putting it together.

Willie Stroppe put it best when he selected an absolutely BUILT red Bronco out of San Diego (can't remember the owner's name right now) to be the FFF Truck of the Year in 2005. He said that that truck best reflected his dad's vision of what a Bronco can be. I took that to mean that Bill Stroppe believed in building to race, to crawl, to enjoy, to love, and most of all to drive until the wheels fall off - not just for the investment.

I know, I know the answer, and the answer is................................ "AN"?

Oh, and just because it's not "Stroppe" colors, doesn't mean it's not a Stroppe

Actually, some Bajas came thru with the 3speed still on the tree. I know of 3 built in April/May 71. More of an exception to the rule, but they exist. Baja71's was this way and a 1-owner truck. BUt definitely look for an Auto as they were more common. Wide steel wheels are another less recognized(but by documentation more common) Stroppe feature. Post a pic when you get the chance!

Right you are Andrew...3 on the tree here!

Hope you find it's a Stroppe or Stroppified!

The DSO is 71 on Tampico. She's just a regular "cigar lighter delete" non-sport that was sitting on the lot at Pacific Ford in Long Beach. So no special color codes or even 6 digit DSO.

This is why I asked about the DSO

If the link does not work try completed auction Item number: 200218584220

The DSO was 715915 on it.

yeah, from what some have been speculating is that this was a special ordered Baja. The Marti hasn't confirmed it as a "Baja Bronco Conversion", but if a ship to location can be determined, then it would be considered a special order baja and not a Kit Baja. My Tampico is a kit, since it's a 2 digit DSO. That eBay one may still be a kit, just installed on a Bronco that was a 6-digit special order for some OTHER reason. Knowwhattemean? Sometimes the Kits and oddballs are hard to document, even tho it's obvious they went thru the Stroppe shop.
