insane bronco prices

[Big Slim]

So i sold my bronco about 4-5 years ago. it was up for sale for 12k for almost a year. i did a decent job restoring it. removed all the rust and did the body work, paint, lift kit, bedliner, etc. no frame off or anything but looked great. i saw it pop up on cl this weekend for 30k. the guy didnt do much to it. some suspension seats, full cage replacing the roll bar, new carb, some ugly new style wheels. so maybe a couple thousand into it. WTF happend in the last few years to get that kind of price?

yes they have gone crazy, tv shows have some to do with it

During the first quarter of 2015 Broncos became the 'It' car for the celebrities in LA, and the media that follows them made that known to everyone else.
The worst rust buckets hit $10,000 shortly after that.

Remember in every sector of the collector car market, buyers set the prices, not sellers!!

 

[Hotrodjohn]

check out the auction prices, 60, 70 80k for restored ones. Lady Gaga even has one

And for every rush, there has been a collapse

Really scary for me. I just finished replacing all the sheet metal and returning to uncut. At the body shop now in paint. I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a 40 acre tract for a retreat and the money from my '75 would almost cover the entire down payment. I don't wan to sell but damn.

Crazy could pay for some work around my house but I don't want to sell.

I would even dare to say that it hit sooner than 2015. They slowly started to climb in popularity, maybe, a decade before or further. In the later 90s and into the early 2000s, I was still able to find rolling projects for under $4000. Now, those projects are in the $10,000s.

It's not just Broncos it's everything. Four door pickup 65G. Chevrolet Suburban LTZ 80G give me a break.

gas monkey, tv, new broncos, everything else just keeps driving them up.

Would sell mine to pay off some debt, IF it wasn't so high dollar to be able to pick up another one later

What can you do

Here is Lady Gaga in Los Angeles recently in a rented EB. I am told she payed $20k for the mth to rent it.

"Lady Gaga was tooling around Malibu in the SUV OJ SImpson made famous ... and there's a hand-rolled cig at 10 o'clock"

Wow!!! OJ Simpson did not make these Broncos famous ;D

HA! Leave it to the media to mess that up..
EB's are the true favorites!

Speaking of OJ, was watching the Series and i was not aware that OJ had one and so did AC, the guy that drove the chase car, so the both had the exact same white Bronco. Just in case you did not know...

If you're saying that OJ had an early bronco that was white i didn't know about that, but I do know that he did have the Big Bronco.

No.. He just had the big 80's Bronco, but there were 2 of them between him and AC the driver..

I think we're seeing a bit of a "spike" in values that should normalize eventually, but the longer we hang on to them, the better. I'm really glad I bought mine and got into my restoration when I did. If nothing else, it helps me feel better about all the money I'm spending!
