• 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.

just had a 3rd party inspection done it, everything checks out condition wise. he pointed out the gap on the drivers side door, and the passenger side the gaps are even but the door contour doesn't line up with body. Engine is rebuilt but only has a 2bbl carb. Said it runs and drives nice, paint is great with exception of two small chips. pretty sure he'll take 25k for it

Its got a lot of body alignment issues, look at the rear view and tailgate gaps-looks splayed. Having said that, bronco bodies are flimsy/flex able and can be easily manipulated. Tailgate and door gaps can be improved using roll bar to tie into. Body mounts can be shimmed or cut down to get doors right. It's common for doors to stick out at bottom corners due to weather striping. It looks like a good value at $25k if its not a rust bucket. If its rusted and repaired $25k is closer to top dollar IMO. Hope this helps!

He check the frame vin to door jamb and glove vin?? What year is that dash and speedo from? (speedo looks 66 67, not 75). a 1975 had a J shifter transfer, not a T. The G on the glove tag indicates it was an auto. He's not advertising as a Ranger although it has Ranger on glovebox. It doesn't seem to have any other Ranger trim on it. (window, door molding, taillight trim, tail reflectors, door panels, etc...) Depending on if you want originality or not, this is a lot of non original

and an uneven tailgate gap at that!

looks like this is a car dealer and sounds like you're in another state, also the pics are not very clear, there's 3 reasons NOT to buy it, weigh that against the reason(s) you have TO buy it, just my .02, good luck
