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

[johnnybgood74]

i just bought my 69 halfcab for 2000. no motor, NP435 tranny, NP205 T case, power steering box, also has been upgraded to a dana44 frontend. very minimal rust. all is there other than the motor. will post pics when my girl gets home with the debit card so i can contribute! my year is up! lol

 

[chuckinphx]

bronco = free (thanks dad)
parts = 9,000 $ over the past 9 years
labor = ?? no clue
seeing dad smile when i pull up in his favorite vehicle ever = priceless

 

[73bronco]

$1500 3 years ago. Came with a brand new complete 3.5" WH lift kit in the back too!

 

[jpalmer]

I bought mine for $1500 in 'Jan 06 & have put about 12k of parts into it since (I don't count my labor, it's a ton cheaper than a shrink).

 

[Rox Crusher]

7k in November 08....................felt I got a good deal at the time......

but now feel I over paid by 1,500 to 2k

additional 3,500 in parts so far (rebuilding tranny, transfer case, axles, brakes, etc & adding hydraboost)

expecting another 3 - 5k for lift, body work, and new wheels and shoes

wouldn't trade it for the world

;D

Our '77 Ranger was $7600 new loaded with dealer installed A/C. It's the only car I've paid for twice. I've easily put that much into it again to bring it back around as a good driver.

Bought my 67 in 1978 for 1,000.00. I can't say how much I have in it now.

Paid $75 for this 72 one and it ran! Totally rotted out and got parted out. I paid $1500 for my 70 that was straight had a very clean body with minimal rust. The engine was shot and the rest of the drivetrain was in pretty bad shape (current project). I paid $3000 for my first one back in 82. It looked like new and had 45K on it. Drove it for 10 years and gave it to my brother.

 

[Terkish]

Paid $4000 for mine in 2008. In it about another $2000 so far.

First Bought.

[tennessee toy]

5500 for my 74 spring 2008.

[Ethansdad73]

6500 in '97 and have spent at least that is part and services

 

[mudstud]

$2400 in 95 and have about $8k in parts and upgrades.

 

[Wyflyer]

650.00 on May 21 2008. It was a gigantic P.O.S. Nothing a bunch of time and money can't fix.

 

[71 LUBER]

I think I paid $1900 back in '93. Long time ago, not sure without digging out the original paperwork.

Over $13k in it so far and like many others, still not back on the road. %)

Here's when I brought it home in '93 and put new shoes on it.

 

[tbuhrman67]

I got a package deal of 2 for 1800. a 67 half cab which i restored and a 76 with the p/s p/db.

 

[jamie]

i paid 200 for my 68. all origional i think i got ripped off. paid 1000 for my 66. it has a glass tub, dana 44 front, ps box, 302 with a rotted frame. someday ill make 1 out of the 2

 

[HavaBronco]

I paid 8400.00 tax license and everything for my 73. No rust and only 61,500 O.G. mile. Since then I've put maybe 1500.00 into it, including tires. Still think I got a good deal, have never seen another this straight and rust free for under 10,000.00.

[777mechanic]

I paid 4650.00 for bronco and have completly gutted everything and now have around 12000.00 total in it and haven't even painted it yet. the funny part is i've have zero in labor costs account i've done everything myself and sometime with viperwolf . it's still fun to learn new things as i go !!

 

[MarsChariot]

Ha! I bought the Chariot for $1800 in 1976. It was appraised at $25,000 in 2008.....
