The Boss Bronco was built in 1969 by the team at Kar Kraft, the same guys responsible for the final assembly of all the Boss Mustangs. They did have some help from Bill Stroppe out of California.
It was an attempt by Ford President Bunkie Knudsen to inject some high performance into the Bronco brand.
Lee Iacocca, the man who developed the Mustang and the then Vice President of Ford did not approve. It would appear that he thought it would dilute the performance image of his beloved Mustang, or perhaps he just hated Bunkie.
In 1969 Bunkie was fired from Ford, many believe it was Iacocca that was behind it. The project was scrapped, and the Boss Bronco was in limbo.
A Kar Kraft employee somehow managed to buy the Bronco when Kar Kraft closed its doors.
Lucky for us, the employee kept the Bronco as it was and maintained it. A few years back he put it up for sale (on ebay of all places).
Wes Eisenschenk, the editor of Car Tech (an automotive book publishing company) found the expired ebay auction and tracked down the buyer (in Washington state), who agreed to sell it to him.
While searching for information on the Bronco online, he caught the attention of Mustang and Ford enthusiast Colin Comer. Colin then convinced Wes to sell the Bronco to him.
Colin knows restoration, especially when it comes to Shelby and Boss Mustangs.
Colin cleaned up the Bronco and duplicated the stripes that had been removed. It now looks like the way it was when Kar Kraft finished it. He has been showing it at car shows and it has been photographed for magazines and websites.
