Like anything ,
The more Bronco's you put your eyes on the more you learn about that type of vehicle ...
Don't jump into anything if you can help it .

That company always has tons of Broncos (hard to believe they are all "good ones"). IMO, find someone who knows Broncos inside and out and get them to go see this truck in person and do a complete inspection. Don't get one of those "local" vehicle inspectors simply because he's close. Get someone who KNOWS BRONCOS. Welcome and good luck. You will find that everyone on this site is here to help in any way they can.

Just went thru the pics. No pics of the engine bay nor the undercarriage after working on it for 9 years??? If everything supposedly works, the oil pressure gauge was on ZERO. If that gauge works, that's a big problem. A full fiberglass front end usually means that the original sheet metal was so far gone it was beyond repair. I'd pass on this one without a hands on inspection as I said earlier. Again, good luck in your search.

Yikes if that coil spring angle, steering column, horn button via sheet metal screws is an example of the rest of the work I would pass. To me , looks like an 8k project starter.

Please call my wife and let her know what your intentions are. She obviously needs some counseling. ;)

Never seen a coil so forward of centerline at the bottom.
I've seen them bowed but not with the bottom a few inches forward of center.
What would cause that?

Looks like it has long arms on it. Probably didn't weld the new brackets to the frame in the right location and it has front axle pushed forward

I would never buy any vehicle without a test drive and close inspection. RUST is the biggest problem in all old vehicles. If the Bronco was used on Colorado roads in the winter, I would guarantee that there is rust present from the salt on the roads. Keep looking for a local Bronco.

I wonder if this was a troll posting so they could point people to the website?

Is this place strictly a consignment shop or both?

If legit that this person made an offer on the Bronco it would be good if they could get out of the deal. If I were the husband, I would appreciate the offer, but really be sad at the wasted money on such a Bronco. The WorldWide site has such a mish mash of crap.

I was thinking the same thing. ^^^^
The OP has not checked back in and with all this advise/opinions you'd think they would have by now?
