1971 Bill Stroppe prepared Baja Edition Bronco, ust free, ighly optioned very nice Bronco. This Baja is on the Baja Bronco Registry and is a highly optioned Baja. It had all of the standard options. Saginaw power steering (present), troppe lettered automatic transmission adapter (present), added steering wheel (not present), troppe Deluxe roll bar (present), railer hitch (not present), ual shocks (present), ut fender rear wells (present), rimmed front fenders (present), pare tire cover (reproduction), nd front bumper braces (passenger side present). In addition to the standard package, his Baja has a very cool Stroppe installed hood scoop. This Bronco was originally painted green and the interior was brushed with asphalt emulsion. It was horrible to remove but kept the original floorboards rust free. The Bronco was given a paint job using Dupont Chromabase materials. All the chrome, he bumpers, nd all the lenses were replaced. The suspension parts and axles were removed and all parts were powder coated when possible, therwise painted. A 2 1/2" suspension lift was installed with all new poly bushings and 8 new shocks. The frame and underside of the tub were thoroughly cleaned and painted. I found some vintage American Racing slotted aluminum wheels, ad them polished, nd put 32x11.50 BFG All Terrain tires on. The seat springs and frames were powder coated and new foam and upholstery was installed. The dash was painted its original parchment color and the pad was replaced. The engine compartment was cleaned, ainted, nd the gaskets were replaced on the motor. New valve covers, ir cleaner, nd exhaust have been installed. Many other things have been done to this Bronco such as a larger after-market fuel tank and a dual motor wiper conversion kit. A few custom touches have also been added to this Bronco. Bronco Design Roadster style door inserts were installed with custom belt line chrome added to the inserts. Bronco Design rear flares were put on, ustom rivet-style bolts were used, nd hood pins were installed to give it a super clean look. Running gear on this Bronco is all in excellent condition. The transmission shifts beautifully and the 351W is very powerful. 2 1/4" exhaust with glass packs makes this Bronco sound unbelievable. This Bronco draws a lot of attention at car shows or driving down the freeway. It looks and runs amazing, owever it is 1971 technology and it's lifted with wide tires and a short wheel base. Every time I take it out, t takes me a minute to get used to driving it. Additionally this Bronco sits in the garage all of the time. It has always run great for me but I only take it out a few times a year. It's being sold as-is with no warranties. The fuel gauge has stopped working properly. The needle moves when you turn the key on but stays on E. The rear main does drip a little bit due to sitting. The radio is just a face plate only. I did not need an AM only radio but like the clean look of the original. Please reach out to me with any questions you may have - text or call 917-743-0200.
