MD Does this '72 seem like a good Bronco?

[JDog77]

Hi everyone. Wondering if you have any opinions on this one?

Rebuilt 351, rebuilt tranny, 90% new metal, power steering & brakes, hydraulic clutch.

These pics are from the restoration, about 5 years ago. It's been sitting outside since then, not much use. Paint was new back then, showing

I appreciate any comments. I'd have a mechanic check it out, but first want to see if it seems like a decent truck. Cosmetically, I think the wheels should be replaced? Don't know if they seem too small for the lift? Doesn't quite look right.

Seems pretty nice, Best way is to check it out in person...

Good luck

Thanks. Help a newbie compare these two. From the pics, how do they stack up against each other? What do I look for?

The red one has been lingering on this forum for a year, I wonder why.

I mean, I have no contact with the owner of the green one, but the photos you've linked are fine, but 5 years of sitting outside? I can't speak for it's current condition.

I don't know what you want or what your plans are.
Are you going to want to change anything about either? CAN YOU change anything? How much will it cost? Do you want a hard top or the soft top? Color? Lift/tire size? etc etc etc

Take a minute, write down your perfect Bronco. Like down to dash bezel or marker light trim or whatever. Get SUPER specific.
Then look at these two and see how far you get on the list. Then look at what you'd want to change and the costs to do so. Then look at the value of each. Then make a value decision or keep looking.
