The 1967 model year

Overview

Ford's January 1967 factory brochure retained the Bronco's three original bodies: open Roadster, short-roof Sports Utility, and fully enclosed Wagon. The 170-cubic-inch inline-six remained standard, the 289-cubic-inch V8 remained optional, and both used the fully synchronized three-speed manual with two-speed four-wheel-drive transfer case.

Year over year

What changed

  • The three-body launch structure carried into the second model year.
  • The 170 six and optional 289 V8 remained the brochure's complete engine range.
  • Ford continued to list only the synchronized three-speed manual; no automatic appears in the factory equipment table.

Worth knowing

Notable

  • The factory brochure preserves Roadster, Sports Utility, and Wagon as separate bodies.
  • Four-wheel drive and the two-speed transfer case remained fundamental Bronco equipment.

Living with it

Reliability & ownership notes

  • Verify the original body-model identity because removable roofs and doors let later owners convert the outward appearance.
  • Match clutch, cooling, axle, ignition, and filter parts to the installed six or V8 and check for later drivetrain swaps.
