• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

Wow! It comes with a full size spare! That's gotta add at least $500 value right there!

Nice rig, but just the thought of going through a dealer, turns me off. too much inflation...

The company has a horrible track record with unhappy customers. Though they really just flip Broncos that were built by someone else so sometimes you might find something decent but over priced.

Interesting mix of old rusty bits and shiny parts. Rusty springs and old shocks and a shiny front axle. The lack of detail would bother me at that price. Speaker holes in the doors, paint chips around the tailgate, flaking paint on the steering column, sloppy details in the interior etc. Things that could be fixed easily but the seller doesn’t care enough to do it. Overall it looks to be pretty solid but needs some attention before I would pay that price.

I may be biased. I’ve never seen a Bronco, in person, at a consignment shop that I thought was a good deal so I am very wary of them.

Thank you guys. Lay it on me. I told him buying from a dealer is not usually the way to go. He needs to buy one from someone on this forum and definitely go see it before he buys. I’m forwarding these responses to him

I agree. if you can't at least fix the easy stuff, how
much effort went into the "hard" stuff..............

Tell your friend if he buys from Streetside, he will likely end up on the side of the street :D

IDK. I see potential....... they have already started the frame off restoration for you by removing the front body bolts. Or maybe......?

Looks like they started out with a pretty nice truck though, the door jambs and inside of the doors (bummer on speaker holes) appear to be original paint... And nothing wrong with
a shiny new front end if it is a disc brake Dana 44 (bummer on Chevy discs).
Definitely not my bag of tea, but I have seen worse for more for sure...

It looks ok in the pictures but nothing beats eyes on in person all these stealer ships are low buck flippers just looking to make a buck at any cost real sad to see Broncos in their greasy hands.. I’m helping a guy out who spent 30k on one that looked good in the pics but in reality when it showed up he got someone’s clapped out old wheeler with a back yard paint job that looked good in the pics. Lucky the gas tank was full of mud and would not run when he got it cause it was a death trap!!!

Bottom line dealer member or anyone else it’s cheaper to get a plane ticket and look at your investment in person than spend tens of thousands of dollars on for a few nice pics

My 2cents

Stealership standard method of operation: Put a little lipstick on the pig and raise the price by 100%

Thanks guys. I think he’s decided to pass on this one. Now we have to find him a good one for the right price. He’s willing to spend the money but he wants a nice turn key automatic ready for some summer cruises

Sorry. Forgot about this thread. Update. My buddy bought a nice solid ‘67 driver off another buddy of mine last week.
