Aloha Dude!!,
So you're in Honolulu... Welcome to the site!!
First, you will not find is a rust free Bronco in our salty state. Find one with the least amount of rust. I know of a few that may be for sale but you'll need to convince the owners to sell. $$$$$ There is a couple of members here from Hawaii.

Next best thing is to get one with power steering, front disc brakes. The 74 & up had power steering with 76 & 77 having factory disc brakes. You may find one thats been all upgraded with aftermarket parts. Better for you if it is in your budget. Good luck..

Razz,

Good to know that you're from Hawaii also. The buy and sell has one for sale right now. He is asking $12,500. It's a 74, 302, 3-speed, hardtop and bikini top. Kinda steep but u might want to check it out. If you got any questions call Madgyver. He is the man. :) Good luck in finding one and welcome aboard.

Oh my, its going to be more money into this Bronco craze than that Vette!
I know I sold my restored '69 stingray, '94 coupe & my 01 Z06 with the same thoughts of going 4wheeling ;D.
Good luck!
