The Bronco has been professionally built with a rust-free body refinished in a striking two tone with matte black on top and gloss black on the bottom with a red accent stripe to divide the two finishes.

A Flowmaster exhaust system was installed from the headers back and sounds awesome even at idle. All of the lights have been replaced with custom lenses and a set of halogen headlights have been installed for improved night driving. A brand new set of 18" black Rhino wheels with 33" Toyo Open Country mud terrain tires were installed to help get this Bronco antwhere you want to go.

Auction prices are holding steady!

First one:
No power Brakes, and poor patch job on the inner fenders just off the top of my head... Just not seeing the price

 

[fungus]

Wow, NONE of them had power brakes and the second two didn't have power steering! If you're going to mod to be a cruizer then do it! None of them were my cup-o-tea but to each their own.

 

[Broncitis]

OK rigs, but this is exactly why I used this phrase when I advertised our 77 Ranger and why the current owner used it again now that he is selling it and has it listed on the CB Classifieds:

"This is NOT the typical $20-$30K ebay or Barrett Jackson Bronco, it is truly of a higher caliber of overall detail and provenance."

From reading the comments when it recently showed up on Bring-A-Trailer, I guess at least one person thought that was cocky I guess, but IMO, it is just the honest truth.

I have looked at thousands of Broncos as shows and events over the years and I see many nicer ones all the time than I see going across the block at these auctions.

It is a crap shoot. Sometimes I see really well done ones bought at a really good price, and other times mediocre or even rather poor for way more than they are worth.

Notice the roll bar. It's pipe. The bends are "weld els". Jeep bumper too.

I think a lot of the vehicles that show up at Barrett Jackson get the typical presale fluff and buff. Barrett Jackson does a great job of marketing and everything looks so perfect while watching it on TV. It was a total shock for me to see the quality of cars a few years ago when I went to their West Palm Beach auction. To put it mildly I was very disappointed. It's a very emotional enviroment and the bar is always open. I'm sure there are fair share of dissapoints when the winners get their deliveries the following week.

 

[miikee73]

Wow, not even windshield wipers,on any of them.The rust colored one even has the holes filled. It doesn't look like they even cut the front fenders when they put on the flairs.
Makes me feel real good about mine!!

 

[Broncitis]

Same wheels on two of them. I wonder if 2 or all three might have been the same consignor flipping them?

The paint on the black one looks like it could be interesting. Is that gloss black and flat black with the red pin stripe? At first I thought it was gray or silver and black. Actually, any of those done nicely look pretty cool IMO.

What's up with the scuffed up roll bar on the silver one? How do you even do that, really? I think it was slid around on the garage floor (on *at least* two sides) before it was installed!

I attended the auction and looked at these Broncos. Its a local shop that put them in. While the vehicle descriptions stated "ground up" restorations and "go anywhere Bronco", it was hard to swallow since two of them didnt have front drivelines, one didnt even have a transfer case shifter. The drivelines were left off because they wouldnt clear the exhaust. The silver one even had two pieces of quarter inch plywood sandwiched together being used as a shim between the windshield frame and dash. Made me want to puke. But he did take the time to paint the plywood black, as if it was going to make it disappear!

Im not sure if you guys caught every word the commentators were saying. Although the Bronco were pretty cool, I was really disappointed with the commentator. As he was talking about the bronco forgot for which one, I believe it was the orangish one. He said, "I had a jeep like that once..." Im like WTF!!!! Are you f**king serious I did not just hear you say that. I was shocked to hear him say that . Cant they get the name right for the cars/trucks being put on the auction floor.

 

[BluebroncoNC]

It is ok, I was an announcer like him once too.

 

[nickgp]

What is unbelievable is Barret Jackson allows vehicles to be blatently misrepresented.
