Norton advises that 380 Broncos were specially configured for Baja conversion by Ford, but that several hundred more were customer or dealer cars that were later Baja-fied by Stroppe; he estimates that between the original Ford configured cars and post-Ford yet authentic Stroppe-built conversions, that the total Baja Bronco production population was about 650 trucks. Proof that not all were red/white/blue, Mr. Uchiyama has one such Baja in his collection that still wears its original medium green metallic paint, and it also seems there are several around wearing a very ’70s shade of metallic “root beer” brown, or Big Oly Gold.
Even though the original Bill Stroppe himself is no longer with us, there still is a Stroppe Enterprises company with its hands in the automotive pie. One can only wonder the chances and appeal of a new 2-door Ford Bronco given a modern Stroppe Baja treatment.
