Hi all, I am new to the forum and interested in restoring a Bronco. I have read a lot on this forum an appreciate the information and knowledge here.
I am currently trying to find a vehicle to restore and my main criteria are V8, automatic and a mostly stock interior.
How much is originality important? It seems like values are not affected by swapped or incorrect parts as long as the build is done well.
For example I am looking at a vehicle that would need a complete restoration but was originally a 6 cylinder with 3 speed manual. If I restore this vehicle putting in a V8 and automatic transmission will the value be less as it was not originally a V8 with automatic transmission. Do packages add value to the vehicle like Ranger or Explorer?
I am not looking to build to resell but want to make the right decisions in selecting the vehicle I start with.
Thanks for the input!
