I have line on a ‘66 Bronco for $500. How do I know if it’s worth restoring or just scrap?


If the frame and drive train is good with a clear title grab it. Looks like that body is total junk, unless you really like playing with rust! But like others have said in the market today put it on Ebay and get $3K for it! LOL
IMO it's all depending on your skill level and having the equipment and tools to do the job. Doesn't look like a good candidate to carry to a shop and have them do the work. Regardless it needs to have at least a decent frame.
I've seen this Bronco somewhere. OBX?
Ding ding ding ... you’re correct sir. It’s in the outer banks of NC
As for skills I’m a novice ... I’m willing learn, but I fear this would require a level of mastery I won’t soon attain. Seller says frame is marginal and when asked to elaborate he said he wouldn’t use it. He’s lowered the price to $400 by the way. I could probably get it for less
