1977 Ford Bronco – Final Year Original Body, Special Decor Group, Copper Metallic, 302 V8, Unrestored Original Condition

In the final year of the original Bronco’s production, only one engine was offered: the 302-cu.in. V-8. This 1977 Ford Bronco features its original drivetrain – the 302 V8, three-speed automatic transmission, Dana 20 transfer case, and Traction-Lok differential with 3.50 gears. Finished in original Copper Metallic paint with the rare Special Decor Group (including blacked-out grille and color-keyed stripes), this is an honest, unrestored example. According to Bronco historians, just under 2,800 of the 14,546 Broncos produced in 1977 featured the Special Decor Group, making this a desirable and increasingly rare find.

This 1977 Ford Bronco is a rare and honest survivor from the final year of the original Bronco production. Finished in its original Copper Metallic paint (never repainted) and equipped with the desirable Special Decor Group – featuring a blacked-out grille and color-keyed hood stripes – this Bronco is one of fewer than 2,800 such examples produced out of just 14,546 total units. The original 302 V8 runs well and the engine bay presents beautifully with bright blue factory-style paint on the air cleaner, valve cover, and block. The three-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, paired with a Dana 20 transfer case and Traction-Lok differential with 3.50 gears. The original white vinyl interior shows honest wear (slight staining and light foam collapse on the driver’s seat) but no tears, while the rear seat and door panels remain in excellent condition. All gauges function, the original AM radio is intact, and the brown carpet is in good shape. The original Wimbledon White hardtop is in excellent condition, as are the chrome bumpers. The suspension and brakes were serviced in 2021, with new shocks, torsion bar bushings, and a dual-circuit master cylinder. Power steering works well with no leaks. Riding on original 15-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers and Hankook radials (2013), this unrestored, original-paint 1977 Bronco Special Decor is a rare and authentic piece of Ford history.
