When Ford released the Bronco in 1966, they advertised it as a sports car for the country. That made it the spiritual successor to the wildly popular Mustang. 

It’s more than just a spiritual successor, though, as Dave Kunz explains on Jay Leno’s Garage. With door handles, door locks, seats, and more all borrowed from the Mustang (and more than a few other parts borrowed from the F100), the Bronco is a real parts bin special.

Since this is a ’77, built just a year before the model change, the origin of its parts are especially wide-ranging. For instance, Kunz says that another Bronco guy told him that he’d never seen this Bronco’s parking brake. Built in June, the assumption is that Ford was basically cobbling these together from whatever was available.

Watch the full rundown on this Bronco above.
