Does anyone recognize the Bronco in the pic? Pretty sure that's the Shelby 732000 with a full top.

Yes it is. It shows up in a number of Ford docs from '66 and beyond. I think I even have a document as late as '73-'74 with it shown.

Good job Todd.
And not just for the great article, but for going into detail what the Bronco difference was. The coil spring suspension.
That suspension was so revolutionary, that it was just about banned from off-road racing. Those racers without it called it an unfair advantage.
