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

[bblue]

$1200 cause that is what the p.o. paid for the 302 that only had 200 miles on it when I bought it.

 

[benderkevin]

$1500 in 1995. It idled and that was about it. Took about another $3000 for it to even start to be trail worthy.

 

[BroncoMark]

Paid $5,000 back in 1998 or so for mine. Best part is it came with a bunch of new parts still in the Ford boxes: mirrors, Sport chrome, emblems, weatherstripping...

 

[RIbronco]

I paid $300 for mine, including that nifty home made plow, back in 00 or 01. From that I've put about $700 into it to get it running, this includes 4 33" tires. It was used as a dd for a few years with that initial parts investment and probably another $1,000 in parts and maintenance since then. Don't get me wrong, it still needed a ton of work, but I wanted to drive it. Funny thing is, nearly a decade later, I still need to do all of that work.

 

[Chief Master Sergeant]

$1,800. I should have kept up with all the receipts, as I'm scared to think how much I have put into it. My wife loves it, but tells me it's a money pit.

 

[74bronk]

I bought mine for $4k then put my guess is at least another $5k into it and still not happy with it. Ahhhh you have to love money pitts!

 

[pierr]

77 ranger $5,600 it had 6/10 of a mile on it when i bought it in march of 77. it now has over 550,000 miles on it i still drive everyday.

Man...You've gotta share this story with us. I'll bet you & that 'ole girl has been through a lot together! Pierr.

 

[pierr]

And while confession is in session...$1,600 for my '73 Explorer;D in ~2003(bought from the original owners widow,48K original miles, uncut virgin..) Now ~7 years later%) I've got about $8,500-9,000 in it & it still needs paint,disk upgrade & putting back together...just don't have the time:-[.After $10,000 I'll stop keeping receipts....Pierr.

 

[deltarat]

I paid 2600 for my 69 in 71 with 13,000 miles on it. I am probably in the mid to high 20s now.

 

[Bitch'nBronco]

[Colorado75Bronc]

i did a brake job on a friends truck to get it and now i have about $5,000 in it, still building it;D

 

[Pa PITT]

What I call my driver .I paid $500.00 back in about 2000 .It had not ran in 5 years . ..So into the shop it went .. I may have spent another 500 getting it to run .. Used it thru that hunting season..Brought it into the shop an worked on it for little over a year ..Got cleaned up enough to suit myself..Rab it maybe 5 years ..That build I put about $3500.00 in it..
....Then I got a wild hair to put this Diesel 4BT in it.. 20 months later I've now driven it 3 times and it's goes to the muffler shop in the morning.. I've put about another $4000.00 this time..
...I have a 1966 I paid $250.00 for it's has set for at least 7 years, I've taken one part off it. I have a 1976 rolled I paid $100.00 It's supposed to be my next project. & we have a rolled over 1968 I think we gave $400.00 for it ..We only took the wheels off it. A frame we gave $100.00 but got a Dana44 & a P/Trac out of the back ..& then we bought a 1975 wrecked in the front ..Gave $500.00 got a good top .. seats front and back ..good tail gate..some axles out of the broken dana 44. another P/Trac out of the back and more small parts ..
... And I think we have enough parts to bring my 1976 into the shop and build one from all the spare parts left.
