I want the truth here! How much did you pay for your Bronco?

[Explorer]

$800, $400 for the top. Add another $10K, half of which was engine.

 

[iwlbcnu]

I paid $500 in 1993 for my 76, bought it for the ps and p/db, after buying/parting many others and approx 6k of my own it is my current trail rig.

 

[rcmbronc]

Paid $1500 for the first one. $4500 for the tan 66 and $2500 for the orange one. Not telling how much invested since then.

 

[302fix]

3k and much more into it now.
I'm an inner 1/4 and door post away from getting it back as my winter beater.

 

[sufa114]

$300, now i have bought about $1000 worth of replacement sheetmetal

 

[Slappy67]

I paid $0 for my '67(and my first foray into the Bronco world). I'll be a little over $1000 in after wheels and tires, but as you veterans know it won't end there. I think I have a little over another $5000 already spent in my head. ;D

To be fair I did trade my '02 Dyna Wide Glide for it, so if it were a cash deal it probably would have set me back about $6500 +/-.

 

[barronj]

$4200, a year ago.

 

[Dasmms]

$2300 back in March. Runs good, but rusted in the normal floor pan rocker post area.

How much?

I started off buying this from my brother in law, thinking I was getting a good deal after seeing him work on it for about a year. I was so wrong, pop rivet held in the poorly done floor over rust, engine parts where mis-matched (rods!), his body work was poor, endless things I found to be unacceptable. I paid $2,200.00 for it. Since I spent over $15,000.00 on it and have done everything myself. Of course at this point the ONLY thing I have not touched, repaired, replaced, rebuilt are the differentials which will probably get replaced with new gears and lockers. Then I will go to 37s after I wear the 35s out. I have not skimped on anything.

 

[00gyrhed]

I paid $1100 for mine in pieces. Got a pile of pats I didn't want and sold them on ebay for more than the $1100 purchase price. I got lucky on ebay with other parts and pieces and 5 years later I probably have less than $5K in it including tires. Its not painted yet but will be within a month if I can get off my dead ass ans get to it. It needs about one really good day of block sanding and its ready to paint and the paint is already bought.

I hope to keep it below $5K total.

These numbers look relatively small compared to mine... and mine's still not on the road yet AND we did just about everything at least twice... embarassed as I am, $2500 and about $25k no top of that into it at that point. I'm about $600 from being finished, and most of the work has been mine and a friend's labor.

Sheesh...

 

[duder]

$4900 just a month ago, drove it all the way back from Yosemite, CA. Currently doing a 338 stroker, ZF trans and NP205 swap into it and a Dana 44 disc swap.

 

[NJB71]

$9000 back in july 08', was in decent shape, but since then about $10k, new engine and trans, $4300 body, $2k efi, $1500 in tires, rims, front end, and add another $550 in 8 point rollcage...I have posted pics in past, but at work so need to go home tonight and fill in

 

[HoosierDaddy]

I have no idea what I paid for mine back in 1996.

I traded an Olds Delta 88 that was in good shape and $1500 cash for my 69. PO was a buddy that needed a family car and had not the cash , but he had the Bronco.
We were both in the Marines and broke as hell , otherwise he could have had the car as far as I was concerned.
Honestly , I probably over-paid a little , but he and his family needed the $$$ and I gave what I could. I'd do it again if given the chance ....

 

[IFLYHOOKS]

I paid $1500 in 1999 for my '66, but since then I have spent nearly $12K in upgrades.

So are ya really gonna bring it out to one of the m&g's this summer. Man it's been like a year and a half since we've seen you! Glad you're almost done. Can't wait to see it in person.

 

[DRBRONCO69]

I paid $2000.00 for mine the way it looked in the first picture in 2004. Been through a few changes since then. I have no idea how much I have invested in it since then and that is probably a good thing.

 

[hdfx81]

I paid $500.00 in 08,haven't figured what I've spent on it but I would guess not more than $2,500.00 not including my time, I've done all the work myself while using it as my daily driver.

 

[Larry B]

1974 bought new for 4600$ Drove it 170,000 miles and not putting a lot into it. Last winter a off frame rebuild, 11,000$ for that. So I would guess about 18,000 over the last 35+ years

 

[caribbeanlivin]

$000 for mine. I just did some cosmetic work to my cousins 76' and he gave me a 74' halfcab. The only bad rust areas were in the floor pans, just surface rust in other areas. Since then I've got about $6k in her, that's with a rebuilt 302.
