OMG, never expected to see a friend on this program. Way to go Hank!
Shelby would’ve put a 428 cobra jet under the hood.
Awesome build! Often wondered what a hot-rod early Bronco would look like if Ford had just used off-the-shelf parts!!!
A stock 302 is not a hot rod.
Fell well short of what Shelby America would have put out that year!
It’s the perfect height. Right amount of wheel/tire. Could be a tad higher but I like it how it is. Nice clean truck 👍🏻
Carol Shelby had several Broncos. I've seen one of them in person at the Bronco super celebration. I like that truck a lot but to say that Carol Shelby would have done it this way is a bit of a stretch. He kept his stock for a reason, utility.
Interesting take on an early Bronco - very cool. Thank you for this series, the depth of knowledge and variety of vehicles is engaging to say the least. ~ Chuck
That Bronco is a treat. I spent many a good time riding in my older brother's Bronco of that era.
The Holley double pumper is probably too much carburetor for the 302 would be my guess. It sounded like it was almost flooding at idle.
Right down to the wooden steering wheel, I love it!
Another great video Colin. This is exactly how I like my cars. Custom, but looking like it could have been factory. Thanks.
This is totally an enthusiasts car. I can only imagine the amount time and effort spent into bringing it out in such a beautiful form. The only area I feel needs more attention is the engine bay.
You should be reviewing the real deal. The Stroppe Bronco. Sold through Ford dealerships like the Shelby Mustang Built by The Ford racing guru.Bill Stroppe who built championship winning cars in multiple categories.
I saw someone with a Shelby Pinto no more real than this Bronco. Lol
The tract system in the rear are the same Ferno tracts we use in emergency vehicles. I've worked in that industry for over 22 years, so that's cool to see them used in this Bronco
we use the same system in racing trailers to tie down pit equipment carts/ fuel carts etc.
@@skiptastic1000 I've seen them in those trailers. Do you build the trailers or are you the end user?
Bronco's were the coolest! My favorite was Pepe in Romancing the Stone.
IMO that's a $100,000 Bronco every day & twice on Sunday.
The Bronco market is currently on fire & they're bringing huge money.
A replacement body is $18k, paint minimum $10k, wheels & tires at least $2k so there's $30k right off the bat.
Dual shocks front and rear? That is a Bill Stroppe modification for the Baja Broncos. This isn't an original/ heavily modified Baja though. Right? The roll bar isn't Baja. Could use a closer inspection to see if there any other Stroppe mods to maybe confirm.
All I have to say is that I'd look real good in that Bronco! 😊
Some interesting choices. It's largely a cosmetic build. Shelby was first and foremost a performance company. The title made me dream of period correct suspension parts from the likes of James Duff, or Parnelli Jones, powered by a hot 302/C6 combo (Duffys floor shifters for good measure). Period correct Rebel wheels. Seats from a Torino would be a nice touch. In my "what if" land, the cobra name would be reserved for the mustang only, and Shelby would have assigned a new moniker to the bronco package. "Rattlesnake" maybe?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the appraisal was fair. You'd be hard pressed to find something with as nice a body that rust free for that price. Broncos are hot right now. As long as the owner loves driving it, that's all that matters.
Carol Shelby was a badass and so is your bronco!
I love the truck just as is !!!
having seen this in person recently, its a cool truck for sure... not winning any awards but def will catch some eyes on the road!
Beautiful Bronco!! 😍😍
Wow! That is one damned nice truck. It's also nice to see that it has an owner who appreciates what it is that he's got there too.
I so wish that Ford had sold a few RHD versions of that model down here in Oz back in the day. The closest we ever got to something like this in terms of old-school looks & performance down here was was the SWB V8 International Scout (later model Ford Broncos not withstanding).
this is a shelby in sticker only
Heard a rumor while Shelby was waiting on the cobra body's in the late 60's they dropped a couple of bronco body's on the frames already built yo use for shop trucks.
I read something a year or two back in an online featuring a late 60s Bronco Shelby/ Shelby American did actually own. It was supposedly used as a prototype and had a HIPo 289. For whatever reason Shelby American didn’t pursue the project and the Bronc wound up in Texas on Shelby’s ranch as I recall.
From a 67 bronco owner ...and big enthusiasts, gotta say great video Colin !! Sp0t on , I was thinking 60,000 is myself
Nice touches on a nice truck.
I love the GM power steering pump
This guy is amazing now let's see him do it to his own car.
Watching him go "meh" at classic auto is very cool so turn him loose on himself and see how critical he is.
I'd pay to see it
Now that's a Bronco....don't know about these new Broncos😳especially the engine that comes in them
the new v6 turbos have a lot of potential, but they are still missing the reliability part 😅
@@Toastert4co that's my point
Drop a 427 Cobrajet in it, then it's a Shelby!
That is how the Bronco 4 wheels the best , Hi flotation tires and just a 2 1/2 inch lift , but Holley double pumpers are crap for hill climbing , but he doesn't look like the type of owner to go thrashing on such a nice rig
427 cobra jet would work well.
Now do the B17. There is 10 or less in flying condition Chrome probobly sn't what the market prefers..edit: Its a B24 Liberator. That actually makes it more rare if still airworthy. They don't have the same mythos of B17 but I'm sure its still worth a pretty penny.
Mad underwhelming but I understand the love for a semi custom classic build. Maybe I’ve been jaded by the in flux of 1500hp impractical builds….
It isn't worth a plug nickel unless someone wants to overpay for it. It isn't "Shelbyized" just because they put a couple of aftermarket symbols on it. By the way, SUV does not stand for "sport" utility vehicle. According to the manuals(including VIN cards) I had available at one time from the '20's to the '80's from GM it stands for specialized utility vehicle and GM should know as they are the ones that coined the term.
Awesome - thinking you might take $10 or $20MM for it ? Let me know
when upgrades include seats and gas struts.... what are we really saying? Never seen such a long shot on such a bornin part.
The carburetor really does need some serious adjustment! Perhaps some of the rough idle is related to the exhaust manifold leak?
Please do a piece on the B-17......🙂
This video makes me wish I would have bought my neighbors 72 Bronco 25 years ago… it would be worth $50,000 in the condition it was in, and it moved out very well.
I had a 72 and sold it in back in 1999. Stupidest thing I had done to that point in my life. Man I wish I had it back.
I always thought it would be cool to build a Shelby Ranchero. White with blue stripes ETC Americans ETc.
Bill Stroppe always did custom Broncos for Ford dealers
I knew Bill Stroppe. What an insult these guys might as well highlight a Shelby Pinto.
This is the 2nd shelby bronco i have seen
Neat but iam enjoying my 1988 Ford Bronco II XLT Fully Loaded Sure Would Not Trade It For One Of These Escape Broncos Of Today
nope,,, maybe back when that was a fullsize, but it would have been one based on a 1/2 ton,, (unless you mean when shelby sold out and ombi's n daytonas and shadows had his name,, but that body style maybe when it was new,, but toward the end shelby stopped endorsing the little stuff
if shelby built it he would have done something with the powertrain. not just lipstick.
Wouldn't Shelbyfied make more sense than Shelbyized?

Trade with her and remember to share testimonies with others👆😊
Her method Surprises me. When I saw testimonies all over the place I thought it was made up stories till I was convinced and gave it a try and honestly I don't regret the move I made because I invested in a big way
cut but legal in California
❤❤❤
Shelby would not leave a stock 302 in it. He for sure wouldn't throw a double pumper on a stock 302. He wouldn't use Bolt on Flares, he make them part of the body.
This is like taking a 392 mustang, painting stripes on it and saying it's how Shelby builds his mustangs.
I like ve the Old Broncos, they remind me of my youth. But this is an insult to Shelby
Why not stroke the engine out to 347 ci, or transplant a 5.0l HO?
ItS oNLY oRiGINaL oNcE!
Trucks are going for Stoopid Money right now. I just got offered more for my 2012 Silverado than I paid 4 years and 40k miles ago.
The s is silent. The Concourse is at the airport.
Very naice
Making it Shelby is stupid. Rip it off.
🔥❤️🔥
Is that the bomber that crashed this year ?
No
So stripes and emblem?
2:27 a Shelby-what Bronco??
This is a boring review.
Sorry if I offended any of your delicate opinions.
A nicely appointed Bronco with Shelby badges does not a Muscle Car make.
Why is it called a “Shelby Version”?
O bc It’s painted Blue with a Stripe.
Ummmmmmm ok I guess
Keeping your "family safe" and driving a '73 is an oxymoron. Drive a '22 instead.
Just wanted to chime in... Shelby wouldn't build a bronco. Yadda yadda.. Obviously
براااافوووووو⚘🌷🌺🌹
Carroll Shelby was about the Whope Package..Engine, suspension, brakes, etc, etc..This thing fails at the engine..goes on to impress less and less as it goes along..Please thell the owner not to associate his near stock bronco with the Shelby name..It is an embarrasment to Shelby.
First
$75 K .. LOL
Oh its not electric? I figured Ford would have gutted that thing and thrown muckstang mock e internals into it
Shelby wouldn’t have cut the quarter panels. What a disappointment
Those are Bill Stroppe Bronco wheel flares and hood scoop his Broncos were the Shelby Mustang of Broncos sold at Ford dealerships with full warranties they were all had the same red white and blue paint scheme.. Stroppe was head of Ford racing department for many years. Winning championships in everything from off-road raceing in Baja to the Daytona 500.
@@leewilliams2094 very interesting. I’m a huge fan of anything Shelby, but I also love my broncos “uncut”. My grandfather had a gold bronco out in Montana, but before I was old enough, he sold it.
“Stock Ride height” at just 2 inches……
Good thing it was 2.5 inches bc that would have meant it wasn’t a Shelby…..
This entire video is clickbait
Has he ever given a number less than the person who owns it?
Yes I have!
I guess you need to wear a helmet fulltime. Good luck with that.
Where's Jason?
Jay Leno Ford bronco that Craig Erickson gave Jay as a prank
Ford put a biggest most powerful mustang engine a 5 speed in
Done by the Shelby crew at Ford motor company I would recommend that over this
Oh its not electric? I figured Ford would have gutted that thing and thrown muckstang mock e internals into it
