Nice Ride,
That thing is in great shape

Looks very clean. Other than being cut it looks like it really hasnt been messed with.

How straight is that.. You GO.. Looks like a good one

 

[tobyw]

Thanks guys, I am VERY excited!! I have been looking for a good clean unit for a number of years... Good things come to those who wait I guess?! ;D ;D

It is bone stock (except for the tires/wheels and cut rear fenders) with ~93k on the odometer, and only missing a few trinkets here and there. I have to be honest, this thing probably SHOULD be used for a complete resto, but I'm leaning more toward a resto/mod for light trail duty and weekend fun with the family.

 

[Tito]

Sounds like a good plan to me, its already cut so no flack from the uncut-nuts ;D

 

[sprdv1]

Family will definitely enjoy it.. ;D Top off cruisin thru town.. MAN, where's the warm weather at lol

Good job keeping your eyes open. Looks like it is ready to go for a drive.

That rig looks a lot like mine did when I got it... Good find!

 

[Ohio Bronco 21]

Nice, I like. Build so YOU like it, so you can enjoy it.

 

[fatboy]

Great find, and build it for yourself, not for someone else!!!!

 

[cobralee]

Nice Find!! Have fun with the build up.

 

[Devin]

Looks great! Keep us posted on any updates!

 

[Ryans71]

OK......that has a Washington license plate.........where did you find it?

 

[tobyw]

Ha ha!! I know, right?! Been looking ALL over the PNW for a decent one for literally years... Anyhow, long story short, this on popped up in my local classified ads, and ended up being about 10 miles from my house!!! I live in West Richland, but the Bronco was just over in Benton City ;D ;D ;D

 

[MustangHowie]

How much did you have to give for it? I found a '77 near me for $3500, but yours is in better shape. Good find.

 

[tobyw]

Some people will probably say I paid too much, but I gave $5k for it and don't regret a single penny of it

 

[Tito]

5K is a cheap price to pay to not have to deal with rust!!! ;D

+ 1000 on that. Engines are a lot cheaper than body work and paint.

 

[tobyw]

Exactly... I can do the mechanical work, but body work ain't my gig!! It took me a long time to find a foundation that met my criteria, and I'm glad I waited!
