I bought this Fender Bronco on ebay The seller description was:

"Super condition never owned, originally part of my late Grandmother’s music store inventory."Seller said that it was made in '77-'80 but I think it is an earlier model,maybe a '73 or '74

I think Bronco's made from '77-'80 only came in Black or White and they had black pick-guards like this This is a '77 Bronco below. They had a different decal too.Maybe the knobs were different too.I am not sure if the knobs on the '77 below are original or not.

Mine looks more like this '72 Bronco

Nice score, TT6......hand salute!

I think you're right about the age too -- note the stamped serial on the neck plate.

RAWK ON!

What an incredible find,it's not very often these days that unowned gems from almost 40 years ago show up.According to my info the serial Number is from 1972 as I have record of a Strat from July '72 with serial No. 371493.

Cool Bronco.

But I really had to do a double take on the Mustang--it's very similar to mine, which is a 78--that one is probably a 78 as well, possibly a 77.
Unless my info on the year of mine is wrong.
Here's a picture of my Mustang-
