GA Advice on one more please

[ace1204]

1973 Ford Bronco. Automatic, Rust Free body & Frame 302 V8 w/ Holley Carb. New 33" Tires & New 16" Rims. New upgraded Radiator & Battery. Truck runs well & could be driven daily. Needs some work - needs a power steering pump at some point as it leaks. Good shape otherwise. Have Roof, Doors, Bimini Top (pictured), spare 15" deep dish mudding rims come with it also. $6700. - Body is good and solid and truck is in pretty good shape for a 73 without a restoration.

Going to look at it tomorrow

Kind of hard to tell. Need more close up pic's inside and out. What shape are the motor and trans in? But with that said, It would be worth looking at for sure.

Ace,

I contacted the guy (Keith) earlier in the week about this one and he replied back:

"No rust issues - the guy before me did a little odd welding on it and I would replace Hood & Tailgate eventually but no rust."

Let us know what you find!

Thanks guys, fingers crossed on this one, heading out there tomorrow morning, i guess i should start researching cost of replacement on power steering pump just in case

Good luck man!!

Always sceptical when someone claims rust free. Take a look and get more pics. Look at the back side of the front door posts for rust. Good Luck,

Andy

Any update - did you get to check it out?

Checked it out this morning, very nice guy but there were several eye sores in my opinion. Apparently previous owner decided to buy a welder and test out his skills on the bronco. Home made roll bar with chunky ugly welds and was only bolted down on the drivers side, front bumper clip was tack welded in the same amateur fashion, body had several dents that looked banged out, hood needs to be replaced, appeard to have house carpet in the floor and didnt pull it up to look for rust but pretty rust free for the most part where i did look, i did see some on the underside but not much, Also the crappy rollbar would have to be removed in order to put on the hardtop, im just gonna have to pay more and get one thats been taken well care of and doesnt need as much attention i think.

This is what im looking for. but the price seems kinda steep whats you opinions? Id like an auto bc its gonna be a daily driver but i can deal with either

I'd be willing to bet under that (ugly in my opinion) diamond plate there's rust. Id also say it's a bit over priced. I'd say maybe $5K if it runs good and drives/stops straight. Make him an offer and let him chew on it for a bit.

I think this orange bronco is owned by a guy named Ben who works at a 4x4 shop...I looked at it a while ago and thoght 5,500 or 6k was fair!
