You know, I've been hearing this chatter that the impending release of the new Bronco is PART of the reason we are seeing a higher demand (and astronomical prices) in the original 66-77 Bronco market.
I can see and appreciate the logic behind that, but please bear with me as I take this opportunity to rant. Evidently there are people out there that have a dissolution that Ford is going to release some retro two door, straight axle, wheel-off-shelf, V8 rig that is going to look super cool parked next to a concourse restored or restomod EB in their garage. I for one will be glad when Ford releases some rebadged Escape or Freestyle and the thing is a total flop in every market (except for maybe in the well allomonied soccer mom market). If this is the case than good, our hobby may become affordable again. If the new Bronco release is a flop and that has no affect on the market than so be it. The bottom line is I am so sick of everyone that has an EB thinking they have a gold mine. And to make matters even worse, and making me even sicker, are these yuppies that are paying the prices. Most of them do this just to "get in the game" or they are compensating for something...I might only be 38, but I have 24 years of Bronco association and experience and I'll tell you right now 14 year olds used to be able to buy Broncos and a parts trucks to go with it (see pic)! Rant over, and I'm glad you have enjoyed my find here. I will continue to expose these imbeciles.
