Another Newb, "What's it Worth" Question

[speedpeddler]

Please excuse my first post for being what I would assume is a common question....and long.

My neighbor has had an early Bronco sitting in his garage for the past 12 years that I've had a mild interest in. This week, he pulled it out and got it running and plans to sell it. I know nothing about Bronco's or off road vehicles in general but have built dozen's of Hot Rods, muscle cars and race cars and think I'd like to take this project on since I live in a beach town and this would be a great beach cruiser.

It's a 302, 4 x 4, missing the interior, doors and top. Body isn't too bad but needs front fenders. Needs a carb rebuild or new one but runs clean. Hasn't been driven for 12 years so no idea on condition of running gear or suspension but it appears to be ok, just rusty and dirty.

So, what would you pay for a project like this? Opinion are welcome.

What year? 'missing the interior' no seats? door panels?Been sitting that long means you could almost expect to replace ever seal,fuel related,water pump,pinion seal,all fluids,BRAKES!,but on a pos not that it would have been parked b-4 the crappy gas and would not have eaten away at ever thing.

x2 on what everyone else said and as a guy who has build other cars you should know all too well that 'the body isnt' too bad' means that you'll be doing a frame-off restoration in no time

Post some pics up so we can help give you an idea what it might be worth.. pick it up for a good deal, change all the fluids and filters and drive it. Come out to a Bronco gathering in your area, checkout all the other rigs, then figure out what direction you want to go. Missing Interior, Doors and Top - Awesome! Mine had all that stuff when I got it.. but I've rolled mine 2x so I just keep removing body parts now. Bikini top, tube doors and rubberized interior...

where are you located? I'm sure somebody would be able to come by and help you give it a good once over.
