THE 1967 FORD BRONCO
Ford introduced the Bronco in August 1965 as a direct response to the growing popularity of compact four-wheel-drive utility vehicles, fielded against the established Jeep CJ-5 and the International Harvester Scout. Designed under the direction of Donald Frey with input from engineer Lew Schuler, the Bronco was engineered from a clean sheet as a purpose-built off-road vehicle rather than a truck-based adaptation, featuring a short 92-inch wheelbase, solid front and rear axles, and available four-wheel drive. Three body styles were offered at launch — a roadster, a half-cab pickup, and a fully enclosed wagon — though the wagon quickly proved the most popular. The half-cab, by contrast, is the rarest and most purposeful of the three body styles: a compact open-bed pickup of distinctly utilitarian character that appealed to those who valued cargo capacity over passenger accommodation. Power in the early years came from Ford's 170 cubic inch inline six as standard, with the larger 200 six and 289 cubic inch V8 available as options. The first-generation Bronco — produced from 1966 through 1977 without significant wheelbase change — is today among the most sought-after American utility vehicles of its era, and the half-cab body style, produced in comparatively small numbers, commands particular interest among collectors.
THE CAR OFFERED
Built in November 1967 as a production Half-Cab, fitted from new with the 170 cubic inch inline six, this Bronco was delivered in Rangoon Red over a White/Red interior. With only 2,602 produced for model year 1967, the Half-Cab is a truly rare modern Ford. Often abused more than their Full-Cab siblings, this truck seems to have never hauled anything more than cotton balls and is in fabulous shape.
The truck is reported to have spent many years in Virginia before moving north to Maine, before finally residing in the Greenwich area for some time. The black extended wheel arches appear to be the only departure from the original specification. This presents an opportunity to own a characterful and visually striking early Half-Cab in one of the most appealing color combinations available on the first-generation Bronco. Recently exercised for photography having been static through the winter, the Bronco burst into life, its venerable power unit seemingly ready for action this summer.
