• 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.

Price: $ 75000

I’m putting this out before completion in the event someone who wants to jump on it early and lock up the sale ahead of time.



Many of the long time members here are familiar with our work but for the newer members, here are couple examples of past builds until we have actually progressed pictures of ‘77 itself.



Anyways we are doing a complete frame off restoration on this 1977 Special Decor Candyapple Red (color code T) with Wimbledon white top, black decor stripe, and parchment interior. 302, C4 automatic, power steering and power front disc brakes, 3.50 LS front & rear axles, 3.50 open front axle. We are thinking 2.5 lift with 31” tires.



Everything will be completely gone through, rebuilt, restored or replaced.



What make this build extra special is the ‘77 body! It’s a new body made by Rust Belt and it was mostly made from NOS factory FoMoCo body panels. Each of the NOS rear quarters assemblies (upper & lower quarters, taillight housing, B pillar and rear wheel tubs), NOS front fenders, NOS grill, NOS tailgate, NOS “A” pillars, NOS rockers. The rest of the body was made from highest quality aftermarket body panels and assembled by the guys who built the most reproduction Bronco bodies then anyone.



This is our progress so far is the body is done but not in paint yet. We are currently working on the chassis: axles, transmission and transfer case all been rebuilt. The motor is scheduled to go to the engine builder this Saturday and currently waiting our schedule date for the Amish upholster for the interior/seats.



Our goal is to have it finished by early this spring. As we make more progress will make updates and post pictures.



Final price is TBD but I would guess the $75-85k range.

I would buy the body and frame as it is. I want a project, not a completed project unfortunately.
