AR WTB Uncut Early Bronco

[AT]

Looking for early Bronco as close to original as possible. Musts: dependable engine & transmisson, no dents, no major rust, uncut. Prefer: original paint (green or yellow), original interior, chrome trim, '76 or '77, power steering/brakes.

Not looking for a project (I realize any EB will be somewhat of a project). I want something to enjoy right away that requires minimal work if any. I'll consider any original uncut '66-77.

Also preferably a goose that lays golden eggs. But seriously I hope you're ready to pony up.

Where's the optimism?

Its gone up, along with the EB high prices

I know the cards are stacked against me, prices are up & my hubby's willingness to take on a project is down! History has proven his ambition & follow through don't quite match up. He rocks at taking them apart, putting them back together is another story! I won't hold it against him b/c he is willing to put up with me! ;D

I'm afraid it's more realism at this point.

What's your price range? In this market and for what you want it's probably going to be a pretty steep price. What's your take on the $38k 77 broncobsession posted, too rough or just right?

Best of wishes in your search!

The '77 is beautiful but too shiny for my taste. Looking for something that shows some age - not rust bucket/not showroom. I don't want something so nice I'm afraid to drive it. I've seen several I would like except for the cut fenders in the $8-14k range but very few uncut. Even thought about replacing the fenders but then there goes the patina w/the new paint.

Just keep looking, going to be tough in your price range unless you get real lucky. Decide on what is most important and go from there. Uncut is the hot look and you will pay a premium for originality.

The 1977 IMHO is over priced, the 100% original is an immediate flag, spelling of "brakes", poor quality pictures, the a/c was likely dealer installed, the doors & rear panels look to be cut for speakers, aftermarket stereo?, and the steering wheel is certainly changed. This is pie in the sky pricing or the honey I really don't want to sell.

Last time I heard someone treat someone like this was when someone had something that the bad mouthing guy wanted but couldnt afford..I have had a couple of these "Bronco Gurus" come over and look at my Broncos and say similar negative comments in order to get me to come down on my price,tacky "human persaussion tactics" never go far with me,oh my I spelled a word wrong I must certinly be lying, oh no I did it again,dont trust me (or anyone that calls themselves "Guru"!) !!

Hey Ucant, if hyghlndr hurt you feelings, you can get even with him by asking him about his "Bronco Camper Rig"!!! GLWS;D;D;D (oh and you do need to check the reasoning behind the "Guru title")
