Who has the Last 1977 Bronco

[BlackHorse]

U15GL010176 stocker green ranger. Is there a prize?

 

[saxman]

there's got to be more 77's than just these on this forum.....

 

[Blue71]

Ours is: U15GLX87919

Blue 71, are you listing these in chronological order? I checked the EB VIN decoder page but it doesn't list production numbers and months for 1977.

Yes, Z20,000 being the last..I was starting with the closest to it and working my way back down. Nort sure on the months though.

Hope that makes since

I can contact the current owner of the one I submitted and we can send him an 8-track tape or something? Some Iron Maiden?

1st appearance on an album was 1979;D

Hmmm... okay. But you agree...Iron Maiden is good Bronco music. My friend with the Balloon Chaser always has that in his Alpine. "Ruuuun toooo the Hillllzz!"

So what were the production rates on EB in 1977. In the Z month there were 20,000 units produced, in the Y month there may have been another 80,000+ as well as in the O and X months? Seems like a lot of units.

You should have a letter there in the fifth spot after the "G", where the number "1" is in your VIN. Let us know, but it still looks like there is an "O" where a "Z" should be if you were gonna win

Would someone please review for me how Z00194 is the last? According to

http://www.broncohio.com/tech/ebvins.html

It looks like for most years the build date is reflected in the numeric order of the serial number such as in 1966

August '65 = 732000-745999
Sept. '65 = 746000-759999
....
August '66 = 900000-913999


However this information is not included for the 1977 year on that site. Did the number designation change by 1977 so they are not in numeric order from 1-1000000? It looks like 1966 had no letter designation. Is that the difference?

 

[Blue71]

We are looking for the '77 Bronco that is closest to Z20,000. If you click on the 1977 at the bottom Broncohio doesn't have info for the '77's. so we are going by Jeff's Bronco Graveyard . Jeff's book has it near the back page of his catalog. Let us know if that helps.

My red 77 that is on ebay now reads u15glz00703. Manufatured in 7/77. Nice truck! It has made the reserve, so high bid gets a late production 77. Take a look.
