I'm building a 67 that I'll be selling. Currently, it is uncut, pretty stock with manual steering and brakes. I was going to build it close to original, but not everything would be original. Previous owner welded in a 77 style filler neck as well. Has new suspension/stock height. I was going to leave it uncut and close to original but would have a different year dash, has the different fuel door now, have stock hubcaps. Wondering if there would be more of a demand/worth more uncut/close to stock, or, cut it, add flares, maybe 2.5" -3.5" lift. If I did lift it, I'd probably add power steering and brakes, may add that stuff either way.

Depends on the buyer but at least if you leave it uncut they have an option of what they want to do with it. IMO you should be able to get a little more for it as well.

I think a good looking LUBER would sell better. Give it a 2 1/2" lift and 31 to 33 inch tires. That seems to be the hot ticket right now. Power steering and power disk brakes will help sell it too.

I kept my '67 uncut and very happy I did. Harder to find uncut now and days.

If the fenders aren't rusted out don't cut it. It will appeal to more people that way and probably help you find a buyer faster. Also, if you don't cut it then the potential buyer has the chance to keep it uncut or cut it their selves. I'm partial to the uncut and LUBR looks though.

I say cut that bitch right down the middle. Take 6'' out of her .. pinch both ends, jack it up. Put 40's on it and go bang it into rocks. end of dilemma.

I think if your not keeping it don't cut it, leave that for next owner. I hope the owner of my next/future Bronco is taking good care of it and not cutting it up. LOL

If you're going to sell it; leave it uncut. Since you have no idea what the buyer is going to want, you dont wanna automatically turn off any prospective buyers that are looking for a stocker.

Makes total sense plus there are so many cut one's out there. Save another....
