Possible purchase - would like your thoughts!

KY one has automatic, notice the dipstick behind engine on passenger side. Missing pcv hose on valve cover. It can all be fixed, but I think a little high.

Not that this is important, but just curious, were those OEM v8 emblems?
Thanks!

OEM Ford,but not to the Bronco.....

All sound advice, just don't get in a hurry to buy. Shop, look, compare, shop, look, compare, shop, look, compare, the right one will come along

This seems like a good starting point...

It is worth a look if its close to you, there are a lot of good aftermarket parts on that Bronco already, Flares, steering shaft, hood tire look almost new.

It does have C4 look at the motor pic and notice the dipstick.

I have seen a lot worse for more money. as for the bumper mounting who ares they are ugly and need replaced.

My thoughts, for the price and what it is I would go take a look. With that said, this is far from what you said you are looking for. I would wait and continue looking for an uncut original, as they can be had in your price range.

If this is what you want, go take a look and see if you can find a bronco brother on the board to go take a look with you. If you want an uncut, unmodified original, keep looking. I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in a nice looking truck in your price range and to run right out and get it, but resist the urge and be methodical about your purchase. ood luck.

Yeah, what Pete said - that there is what we call WISDOM...

Fireball, go to a Bronco event where you can see 10+ Broncos so you can see the entire breadth of options you have. You'd be amazed at how different they can be and decide what you want them.

I second that notion..


good luck

Also the steering wheel is upside down.

if you are willing to drive to eastern kentucky, i would sell you my 74 half cab cheaper than that. Its about 90% or better restored, needs a little body work and paint. pm me for pics if interested.

That one is much more to my liking, I actually posted yesterday asking for more pics and just noticed he posted some up. Would have to ship that thing up here, and would need to get some help checking it out. Looks to be in good shape, you guys see anything on that rig that needs some attention?

Not that this is important, but just curious, were those OEM v8 emblems?

Any worry that a recent repair showing rust bubbles coming back would indicate more severe problems below the surface?

Thanks!

Jason is a good guy and don't think he would do you wrong at all. just ask him for all the pics you want. really only thing i see is a little rust and rock chips on the front of the hood.
