That price makes zero sense to me.

am i seeing that correctly.... manual brakes with a coyote? thats the first I've seen like that.. stupid money. even the seller is shocked in the comments!

That master cylinder on the firewall activates a remote-mounted hydroboost mounted down on the framerail.

That Ford vs. Chevy debate aside, that LS would be a hoot in that platform and since your have the hood closed 99 percent of the time, who cares. Unfortunately the babble over brands somewhat devalues what would otherwise be a great build, and I am sure that contributed to it not going even higher. Still good moeny for a Bronco either way.

Wait! another LS build just popped up. This one is pretty cool! I would drive this and care less about the brand of engine. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1975-ford-bronco-99/

I thought the 74 Blue LS on BaT was a nice build. Respectful of the Bronco design, etc. I would interested in it up to ~$80K but it topped out at $105.5 and didn't meet the reserve. I did some research on it. The seller bought it at an auction earlier in 2023. Pics looked great but there was zero provenance on the build.

In one of the first comments by the seller (on BaT) its said to be built out of Idaho by a shop Factory Fab. I've had hands on this bronco and know it was originally sold to a feller in LA, then apparently sold through auction like stated earlier this year. Its a nice build, some obviously are rubbed because of the LS. It was a low to mid 6 figure build.

The prices of these needs to continue to go up as the cost of building them is skyrocketing as well.

I feel for you. The market is softening while the costs are going up. I see more builders getting out of this sector as it is tougher to make it work.

Supprised this sold for 27,500 ..... Hell, the hubcaps are worth 5k For whatever reason the halfcabs just dont bring the dollars

I was surprised at that too... However it was a bad choice to paint the grill white like that.

Canada is a killer on prices.

Last 7 EB's did not meet reserve . Coming into cold weather and market softening ?

That bronco is a beautiful survivor! We have a local guy that has an identical bronco, puddlejumper. I would rather buy a bronco like yours than a 250k all new bronco, even if yours went for 100k.

Was watching that auction, did not realize that was your rig. Beautiful Bronco!

 

[ngsd]

Many have too high of reserve. Nice ones are still selling for good money

Thank you! I'm sad to see it go but the person will take good care of it. He lives near San Francisco. The Bronco spent it's first 40 years in Cali so it's going home in a way. I still have another 1973 Bronco thankfully.

 

[green61bug]

Cannun, Didn't realize that one was yours. That is a nice bronco.

The numbers do seem to be going downwards but what people expect for them is still up there. I will say, after seeing prices 1 year ago it'd be hard to let one go cheap.

I was pretty surprised that the Sea Pine bronco listed did not get bid on any more than it did.

I was watching the Sea Green one as well. I think the guy did a decent enough job on it but 3 on the tree, no power steering or brakes really limits the number of BaT buyers. i have a feeling we will see that one again soon.
