There are still deals on craigslist. I know of at least 6 trucks sitting on the grass in the back yards of people's homes rusting away. 3 highboys a 3 regulars. One is a 67 model others are 73 and younger. If anyone is interested I can point out the locations. All of them are in the greater Denver area.

I bought mine back in March of 2016 for $500 in the greater Denver area. 1973 f100 in great running condition with 360 in it. Manual tranny, 4x4. Some rust above rear wheels (the usual). Inside is in almost perfect condition. Seat is little torn and new carpet needs to be installed - otherwise very clean.

I had to tow mine because fuel line wasn't connected to the fuel pump and gas in the fuel tank was sitting there for a very long time. Took me $5 to connect the fuel line and a day or two to clean the fuel tank.

I am currently restoring it. Maybe sometime next year it would be finished.

That's pretty nice. Looks relatively virgin to me. Not far, but it needs to be at least a year older for the price to make sense here in CA.

My opinion, overpriced. Bicentennial editions aren't "super rare". Even if they were, rare ("super" or otherwise) doesn't equal valuable.
And almost $2K for that camper? I don't think so.
In my opinion the truck itself is about $2-2500 overpriced.

I live about 2 hours away from this and though he is high it seems to be where the market for these truck are going in the area. For the area I'd say 5500-6000 with the camper would be a fair price, then again for the area the old campers are hard to price some of them seem to be worth thousands and some are worth nothing. But that is the market we deal with here.

I like the little things like what looks like a 5 spd trans swap and 8 lug outers and axles shafts (or they did a D60 front and rear swap? Probably a D60 rear and swap on the front axle. I get those are 16.5 rims...

Good looking Bronco. I guess my old Gal must have a 400 Cobra jet though.



















































































Might as well call it that. Ford made as many 400 CJ's as they did 460 CJ's
