Unusual ending!

Chevy powered Bronco

$36K to $90K???

The interior is nice, but I don't like dark colors on a Bronco.

I wonder why the government paid for a Stroppe upgrade. Kinda weird.

About 10-15 years ago, one of our city officials was issued a new crown vic.
He added a super charger, CAI, and a few other items. All on the city's dime. Lol.

Is the passenger side door pushed in? It looks odd to me.
I wonder why they didn't replace the windshield.

Yes, there is a dent there. It's mentioned in the comments.

Yes.
A good slam and it will probably pop back out…

 

[Jakedog]

I didn't read everything about it. If it was government owned, it was definitely beat on, and probably not well taken care of.
Still a cool little truck.

Looks like one of @NicksTrix rigs is up for auction. Nice build!

Maybe I've been under a rock, but I just saw a couple of TV Commercials for BAT on Motor Trend Channel!!!

I'm not to surprised at the crazy prices, I've seen this happen with the mustang, and the bubble popped and prices went down. I'm more worried about prices going up on parts to restore and up keep on are Broncos getting out of hand !!!!!

Yeah, I find it funny how you can easily get a decent 60s/70s mustang for under 10k when I've seen piles of rust that were early broncos at one time go for thousands

Someone isn't going to be happy with this "74" that isn't. Goofed up vins, supposedly no frame vin and definitely a 67' from what's visible in the pics.

Well, it does at least have a lot of nice stuff on it.
The discrepancy in the VIN is interesting. The inability to locate the VIN on the frame could be purely lack of motivation, or could be something else. Any indication that it’s a different frame?
Have you checked the VIN to see what you’re at indicates?
I see an early dash panel and door controls, the late model front turn signals and no side markers.
All of which could be swaps. Except maybe the door controls. Which might indicate a 66 or 67 door, which would require changing the striker.
So yes, curiouser and curiouser…

And a California 2025 plate in the pictures.

Bring a trailer has definitely shifted to the money in making their decisions. They used to scrutinize the sketchy or questionable VIN issue but now it seems like they accept whatever and let the buyer beware. I have left several comments pointing things out and they rarely publish them. ( i think they flagged me!)

Doors, Dana 30 and the dash all look older. Side markers could be deleted, but likely not.

$5000 stereo (plus the labor) and you just get to see the front 2 speakers...

Once the owner and founder sold it to a private equity investor, I knew BaT would go down the drain

Hell now they are listing Chrysler minivans and Honda civics

yah it's not what it used to be. they were selective on what was allowed and now you can find pretty common (not even in great shape) cars for auction there. there was a geo metro listed not long ago...
