Im very curious to know who ended up with this one. Does anyone know the winning bidder? A local buddy was a couple thousand shy of winning the auction but once it hit 53K he was out of money with shipping and the fees. I sure wish it was coming to NC.

Watched Mecum on/off the last few days... Impressive sales pricing on many vehicles. A few Broncos at over $100K that did not sell?
From looking at that buyers past sales, it appears that it went to Vermont.
I missed that one going through. What a great bronco!
Would love to have that one. And keep it as it is.
One of the best I've seen in a while. Kinda mad I didn't bite the bullet and snatch it up. Oh well, maybe next time!

Was watching that one - really neat rig for certain. Would’ve been a nice addition to either of your your stables!
That is a great looking classic,

Well it is almost Barrett Jackson time here in AZ again. We are getting ready for the big show and as usual, there are no shortage of Broncos. Lets see what this beauty hammers at.

Helped a buddy sell his Bronco on BAT this week and he was happy with the results: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-ford-bronco-220/
There was another guy that couldn’t be available at auction close that would have paid higher so would have been interesting had he been there.

Yeah, I saw that. Was there a noticeable difference in quality and driving experience in comparison to the 2 Highline builds you had?

Virtually zero difference other than the significant difference between the four speeds I had in my 2 builds and the ten speed. Never knew what I was missing, I suppose, but the difference in how the power is actually delivered on a 10 speed is night and day. I'm not sure how much savings I would need to choose a 4 speed over a 10, but it's more than the difference in cost of the two transmissions new if building a Bronco.
I pressed go on another Highline build to be completed over this upcoming Summer. There were some nice upgraded touches that I'll incorporate into my next build (IE: better AC vents, push button start, some billet interior items, etc). I really like the carpet they used in this build, but not enough to pay for the upgrade from standard black. The difference in cost between a Gateway and Highline is significantly more than the value (my opinion) if choosing between them new.
The 6.7L didn't sell! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-ford-bronco-222/#comments-anchor
Gotta vent a little here. Seller lists a 74 and insists it's a 6.7 liter. BAT changes the listing to say 6.7L. I comment and ask what engine exactly is a 6.7L? That's 408 or 410 ci. So I speculate it's likely a 351W bored and stroked to 408. Seller ignores my question until someone else asks him to answer it. Seller claims he does not know (no shit!) but provides some better pics of the engine. I thank him for the pics and tell him the Edelbrock Performer 289 manifold indicates it's a 289 or 302 block. I don't believe you can bore and stroke a 302 to 6.7L/408 ci.
I ask him why he thinks it's a 6.7? His answer - that's what the inspection report said!
He supplied an inspection report from AiM - Alliance Inspection Management. Other than the comment section on the first page, the inspection report is total bull shit. ALL inspection items are marked Green (indicating "Inspected and is OK") except for 2 items. The items marked Green included: Air conditioner, Seat cooling, Seat heat, Cruise control, Fog lights, Rear windshield wiper arm, Remote key fob, power windows (one hand crank was broken off!), Rear entertainment system and controls, and many other items non-existent on the Bronco. BaT should have screened this one a lot better. Seller obviously knows nothing about Broncos and nothing about the vehicle he was selling.
Rant over.
I apologize if the seller is a member here! LOL

Yep that one was a bit scrary. That 6.7 statement was a head scratcher. The pictures did not show any of the historic corrosion areas and appeard to have had several spots filled over waiting to be a problem later. It may have been a good no reserve auction with a better (more knowledgeable) response from the seller. Agreed, that inspection report was a joke. I hope he didn't actual pay someone for that.

BaT has finally caved to absolute junk. I remember the days they would not sell vehicles for not meeting their specifications.
Here we see another pile. with a "302 stroker". I guess BaT will literally list anything with any description. The site has kind of gone to sh!t

Hate to pile on, but BAT obviously doesn’t know anything about the vehicle. 8-hole 15” wheels? Who cares how many holes the rims have? It’s almost like they’re trying to do some “word smithing” to make it sound like it’s a 8 lug wheel.

I think what happened is the inspection company fat fingered their report because if you just do a quick 289 Liter size that shows 4.7L. I assume they confused or hit the wrong button but put 6.7 on their report . Regardless, the seller could have figured out what engine it was, and the BaT people should know its not a unicorn 6.7. Also I dont know of people stating a stroked 408 to be any other L than a 5.8
I don't know...............been the rage to call a bored out 302 a 306
even seen the ask for 306 emblems and air cleaner stickers.Similar threads
