WHITE EXTERIOR AND BLACK TOP

Hey everyone I'm new here. Looking to purchase a 95 XLT white exterior but it has a black top. Owner claims he bought it this way which I do believe and has very low miles. CARFAX came in clear with no accidents or issues with miles. Just curious as to why this is. Didn't the white broncos all have white tops except for the EB?
Thanks in advance.

is the current owner the original owner of the vehicle? If so, and he says thats how it came then its likely the truth.
If he's not the original owner then something could have happend to the original, and they replaced it with a black one or maybe someone painted it? You could always peek under the edge of the seal somwhere around the back glass and see if you can find a paint line.

As far as them coming with black roofs, i really don't have an answer for that, just doing a google search i sure don't see any like that.

On the order form you check the box on your order to specify color options, paint color, top color, interior color, white with a black top doesn't seem too controversial to me?

Look at the door sticker, should tell you all you need to know. Like Rob said, it also could have had the top swapped out with a black one. We put my buddys red 95 Bronco Sport top on my Brown rusty 85 back in the day, that was pretty funny looking!!

Lets take a moment & thank god broncos don't have pretentious owners group that have 1000 point concours judging events like some other vintage cars do!!

Look up the dealer's brochure for your vehicle. It will show you the colors available for the fiberglass tops in that year.

I bet @miesk5 will have the brochure you need.

I just remember ordering my 96 new, and there was a spot to check top color, but i ordered an Eddie Bauer, so it only came in tan, so I skipped that part.

I checked a few door tag decode sites and it doesnt say anything about top color on the door sticker, just paint code, and interior code, which would make it impossible to get you that answer in "black & white" (pun intended)

Then I went online and looked up the 1995 Bronco brochure, and that shows all the interior & exterior colors, and top colors, but no mention of what top color top you could get with each color paint. Obviously they wouldn't let you get a green bronco with a maroon top, but you get my point. Look it up, see for yourself if you'd like.

I still don't understand the concern of if the top was originally white, or black, just curiosity? If you think it's supposed to be white and it bothers you, paint it white, problem solved, you can have an OJ Bronco then. Maybe the owner was very anti-OJ and painted it black?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, may have been a green with red topped Bronc ordered out there. Can't fully recall now but almost seem to remember some forestry broncos that had red tops with green paint. But looking on a quick image search only see white topped ones.

But I will say, especially in the 60's 70's hot rod era when most of the high end packages were special order, there were always plenty of paint options available for special orders. Still plenty of special order options today as well if you ask for them and are willing to pay the premium costs involved.
