I wouldn't kick either one outta bed

I think I'm diggin' the stocker uncut orange. No kidding, I may even bid on it online.

LOL... under description, "Highlights: stainless nuts and bolts".

Major Tom · Jul 31, 2014

stock uncut orange for sure. I would take it over all of the others

Some nice details on that last red one, great rear cutout metal flares....

The one at Barrett Jackson was $37,500 without a top! I like the last red one too, but they can't get the windshield wipers straight, makes me wonder what else they didn't get right.

The second link references the very rare "9 bolt Dana 30 rear end"

No pics of the engine bay and I don't think '68's had those side marker lenses.

How much do these go for at auction? I am assuming "auction" doesn't mean "good deals"?

JoePro · Aug 21, 2014

Uncut orange '73 is formerly an Explorer package more than likely with seats, door panels and orange coded mat removed.

Just a comment and totally my personal opinion....... are nerf bars still even in style?

I saw the first three Broncos you listed this past weekend in Monterey. The blue one at first glance looked pretty cool, but there was some shoddy bondo work in the bottom corner of the driver's fender. Would make me question the rest of the quality on that one. The prerunner Bronco was nice. I wouldnt spend $50k on it, but it looked pretty clean. For $50k I would've expected a powdercoated frame and something else beside that cheesy bumper, those side pipes and a Rancho lift. Orange uncut was by far the nicest IMO. Would've loved to have that one.

The second to the last Bronco (red w/Silver stripe) was right in my back yard. Friend of mine told me about it, finally got in touch with the owner and tried to buy it. But, I was too late as he has already signed paperwork for Mecum.

It is an incredible truck!! He has a $40K reserve. I will buy it if he doesn't sell it in Dallas.

JoePro · Aug 25, 2014

a couple of the others now have pics posted....
