Dang that is nice. Rare color, and original. Wonder if it is as rust free as I picture it in my mind.

I love the old man, old school garbage bag hooked to the lighter. My grandpa always had one on his dash from the oil change joint. Of course he called it getting a “grease job” , remember a few Saturday mornings with him doing that.

It looks like the real deal. The drip rail trim on a Sport after '71 is very rare unless its a Baja. Very very nice and a nice color....

Hey guys let me ask you a question about this vehicle,what exactly makes it a 50,000 vehicle?The reason i'm asking is my 74 is very similar to it as far as mileage when i bought it and is close to the same now and right now it is pretty stock,it has 3 on the tree,302 v-8,i did just pull out the carpet but it was not original,it's not a sport i don't believe as it doesnt have the badge on the side of the truck it just says bronco but it does have some chrome stripping just not as much as this vehicle and is pretty rust free except for some on floor pans but overall that's about it.looking at the vin it starts with u 15 also so is that what makes it valuable? Thanks for any info! rich

the only person saying its a 50k vehicle is the seller. I'd like to know if the seller is indeed the 'original owner' as often times people buy from original owners and still claim they are one-owner vehicles. The floor mat looks to be original so I'd like to see what's underneath it...if that floor mat has been in place for 45 years, I doubt the metal underneath is pristine...unless it's been in that garage all 45 of those years! ;D

I know this bronco and the owner...very nice older gentleman. It was garage kept and he rarely used. About 10 years ago I stopped by to look at his son's bronco that was sitting next to the garage and asked if for sale. It was setup as a race bronco so I passed. He then showed me this bronco and I couldn't believe how good it looked.

He gave me a price of $12k back then but I didn't pull the trigger. When I went back to purchase a few years later, price had gone to $25K. The next time I saw him, he didn't want to sell anymore. Think he got tired of all the requests.

It is rust free and extremely nice. Wouldn't be surprised if it sold for full asking price.

In that case it will definitely sell for asking, if it hasn't already

so does u15 basically mean it's a hardtop? Is there anything else to it?

U15 = wagon/full hard top, all years
U14 = half cab/pickup, 66-72
U13 = roadster - no doors/top, 66-68
