KS 1974 Bronco- Not mine

[xparatroop501]

I'll see if I can't get a few more pics and see how it drives. A friend of mine knows the guy and has been on the trail with him and it. He says it runs very strong. I appreciate all the info guys, I am a newbie to these Broncos.

If I was looking to spend $25K on a Bronco, I'd buy this one. ;D

Buying one for $10-12K and trying to make it nice is a VERY expensive undertaking. I paid $7800.00 for mine and I bet I've got $25K+ in it and it still needs finishing. ;D

Is this a fair price for what it is? I am newbie and I am trying to create a daily driver with a budget of 25-30k. What would be the next/ most obvious upgrades to make this dependable? Any input appreciated. Thanks

I didn't but I think your setting yourself up for a tongue lashing if you throw a number at him that's less than 30% of the asking price!... just sayn... ;D...but u never know

Hey, I got laughed at when I bought mine and offered 33% less than his initial asking price.

Welcome...

One of our local boys is over in Olathe too, Stock1970, aka Rod..

I bet he would be willing to lend a hand if need be.

I will be moving up to Lenexa soon. I was in Overland Park last year.

 

[xparatroop501]

Awesome - would be nice to know that someone is local that know a thing or two about these!

anything happen here?

It is actually now sitting in the parking lot at my work. Owner is a friend of the President of my company and we are storing it for him. I'll get out there to take a few pics. Seems to be some rust in the under side of the fenders. There is a rust hole on the inside of the passenger side fender well. Underneath looks pretty good, normal leaks and drips from an old vehicle. Haven't go to drive it yet, but will try to soon. Anyone close that would be will to be a voice of reason-good or bad-let me know.
