Possible bronco opportunities

[Ford4ever]

Hello, my name is Reid Hubbard and I live in North Carolina. I’m currently in high school and love to work on my 89 f150. I love first generation Broncos more then most and other car, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I could go about finding a clapped out bronco that I can poor my time into?

Search, Search and Search some more. Look everywhere, local craigslist ads, local papers, back yards, ask friends, and of course this sight.

There are still a few broncos that can be had for less than 20K. Dont know what your budget is but the days of picking up a driver for 5K are over. You can get a running rust bucket for around 10K maybe.

I have purchased broncos from all the places I listed, and one of the best ones I ever got wasnt even for sale. One key thing is to have the money ready to go. A deal may pop up and if you can be the first to show up with cash in hand you will have the best chance of getting one.

Pour time and money from a big bucket

I’ve been looking all over eBay, craigslist, and marketplace for the last few months. Most of the Broncos I’ve been seeing are already restored, or are just completely rusted out. I’ll probably just have to keep looking until I find one in a barn somewhere! I’ll definitely check to see if local clubs have any knowledge on the subject.

It'll take time to find that right deal these days

Welcome aboard as well!!

Welcome.

Being patient and ready to pull the trigger will work in your favor. Look at as many as you can so you will know it when you see it. This will be a long term search so settle in. While waiting build up your mechanical, electrical, body, paint, welding and fab skills. Learn all you can ahead of time you will benefit greatly later. Reading in the tech section while help educate you as well.

Good luck in your search. In the meantime stay active here.

Try this one:

Fortunately it's no reserve. Unfortunately it's only day 1 into the 7 day auction and it's a good base for any number of the builders out there. Good luck.
