FL Looking for a turnkey

[FLScales]

I am new and this is my first post so if it is in the wrong spot I am sorry. I want to get a bronco as an everyday ride. I live in florida so mostly it would only see the beach. I have read a lot of horror stories about people buying things that were not what they seem i.e rust. So if I could I would like to list things that I would like and maybe people could help me out just a bit and tell me how much I am looking at spending. I want an automatic 302 fuel injected 70s bronco, with rust seal and undercoating. A roll cage that will still fit a hard top as well. I will post some picture of broncos I consider aesthetically pleasing to my eye and maybe that will help you guys out more.

also the look of this icon-esque bronco that someone posted about on this forum

3.5 inch lift and 4x4 wheel drive is a must. Hopefully someone can help me, I don't want to get in over my head.

thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard.. Be sure & post this same thing in the Broncos Wanted section.

Good luck. Remember, Patience is key. The right one will come along.

Thanks. I am starting to think if I get one close that I can drive around but also work myself I might go that route. My friends think I am crazy to sell my ford raptor for a bronco that needs work...am I?

well my family has a ford dealership so I actually paid much less than it would msrp. With 30k miles they actually sell more than what i paid for it in the area. They don't paint or do custom work at the dealership otherwise i would buy almost any bronco and work on it at the dealership. Unfortunately I am not a beneficiary or i would probably be talking to nickstrixs.

Where are you in Fl? There is a great bronco mechanic in Palm Bay if you need any help.

I am in Tampa so about 2 hours from palm bay. Not to bad. What kind of work does he do? Of course I don't have a bronco yet so I might be getting a little ahead of myself.
