No affiliation. Typical use car sales babble and no pix of the floors where the mats lay.

Looks like there is a Baja you can see through the windshield in one of the pics. Overall - lot's of the original patina there.

Caters to a small bronco crowd of course, but it's reasonably priced IMO. Rectangular mirror is all that I see is out of place. I've got a birthday coming up in July if anyone needs gift ideas

Only 13 units after mine on the assembly line!

Looks like a pretty solid and complete rig. Has a Kayline riser and extra snaps on the tailgate, but looks to still have the Whitco bows. Hard to tell for sure.

Jimmy, you need to buy it for the hardware!!

Also, ToddZ or someone needs to get paid royalties each time the history of the Bronco is cut and pasted on an ad by the latest Bronco bandwagon jumper seller. WORD!

 

[smokinjoe]

I like it! Agreed, not to shabby on pricing either, especially in this market!

I have seen that one. It is a very solid CA truck. It was at Broncorama a few years back. I know that it has changed hands a few times in the last 5 years.

 

[clarrance]

I have saw this one in person as well. It's a nice Bronco

 

[smokinjoe]

Looks like it was painted with a roller. Why is the engine compartment black from the hips down. DSO 71.........L.A

Are we looking at the same truck or did I not see all the pics? I didn't even see the eng shots

 

[hyghlndr]

Doesn't the rocker look all banged up?

The Whitco pieces it has are the ones I already have! Go figure!

X2 on the royalties. Gets reused A LOT.

;D Thanks, I don't know what the hell I was looking at ;D These pics do paint a little different picture than whatever I was seeing. Thanks Elan.

That is a Stroppe in the back ground. I call on it. Turns out it is only about 15 minutes from where I work. I think I may go take a look at it to see what is going on there.

FYI the spring time yellow 66' just sold today.

Here's your Baja BB

Hmmm. I think I will skip the visit. At 49k and the tacky "upgrades" it isn't worth the look to me.
Vintage air cut into it, speakers cut into doors, sunroof....

And most of all out of my means buy a few bucks at this time.

It looks like a pretty cool rig to me! A real 1975 Baja (Not a Denver)!
Chrome light tab cactus smasher with Cibié 45's!

I was browsing this thread and saw the link for the U13. It's looks like an honest rig. I was a little surprised at all the heater hose plumbing under the hood considering it's a heater delete '66.
THEN, I checked out the '75 Baja and realized in 2 seconds that it's MY old BAJA!!! I owned it when I joined Classic back in 1999!! Hence my UN BajaFresh75! I miss that rig! Power disc brakes and Vintage air...nice, but wasted money on this type of collectible. When I owned it I was running 35x12.50x15 BFG A/T's, which looked 100% better then those Michelin's. The doors and dash were both cut when I got it back in '98.

I remember seeing it when you had it, and I agree it looked much better back then. I liked that Baja.

 

[BajaBronco]

One of the real 75s. A neat rig for sure. Agreed that old Michelin LTX or whatever is NOT an upgrade. Oh well. Sorry.

So I guess Stroppe pulled off the stock '75 steering wheels and used one of the earlier padded ones for '75 too. I was wondering about that detail recently.

Not surprised that it was a Parker Motors truck - they probably sold more Bajas in proportion to the size of the dealership than any other dealer.
