One Sweet 1970...

This truck belongs to a feller that is on an outdoor forum I belong to. I asked his permission to post it. It is only the second I seen with twin tanks and chrome trim...
It is a wyoming truck so ZERO to little rust! What would this little gem be worth (top dollar) in places where nice old rides are rare? $10,000?

Nice looking truck, but I wouldn't pay $10,000 for it. Just my opinion though

That isn't a bad looking Bronco. It is probably worth $3-6K (real world) depending on the rust factor, mods etc. But that is really just a guess since I can't see it up close.

Dual fuel tanks and chrome trim isn't that uncommon. Chrome was available with the Sport and Ranger models and most opted for dual tanks more than not. I think they became standard with the Ranger package (but I don't have my info near)

Since I am just a guy showin' off what I consider to be a super sweet ORIGINAL ride... I was wonderin.... Wyote won't likely entertain offers as this is his daily driver huntin truck... I would say that a finish 2000 treatment would shine her up right nice.... like I said this is a daily fun toy for him... I reckon it is as clean as could be found... It ain't for sale and if it was I would be "ALL OVER IT"....

what makes the Broncos value? I heard clean and limited options... I know of one like this bought in 1992 that got a rebuild on the 302 and a repaint with a rechrome of front bumper... What a sweet machine it turned out to be....

There are a lot of variables that separate the value of nice drivers from the high dollar originals, resto's, rare breeds, and the modified versions. Its hard to put a price tag on anything, as it is worth only what someone will pay for it in the current market.

The valuable hot commodities in the Bronco world, seem to be the low mileage, untouched uncut originals. Especially the highly optioned (73 up Ranger packages, 77's), The 66's seem to bring good money because of the first year. My former boss has a 73 Ranger, fully optioned with 14K original miles on it. He's turned down offers over $30K on it.
Stroppe Baja Broncos, Denver Bronco's, are super rare and the prices reflect that.

That '70 represents a decent driver. Needs some TLC. Probably has the typical problems that all of us deal with on trucks we are driving every day.
I bought my first (and current) Bronco 10 years ago next month. It was in much of the same shape as that one is, except for uncut fenders and a little better paint. I paid just under $4K. I have put a lot of money in it over the years as well as a lot of beer, blood sweat and tears. I'd be losing money if I got $20K out of it, but real market value probably comes in around $9-12K.

But sentimental value is a lot greater than market value.

I agree!!! I will ask wyote what the status of this bronco is... Like I said it ain't fer sale I just asked if'n I could have permission to post the pic.... I doubt he would even entertain any offer... If so I would trade my truck, my wife's cherokee and juniors s-10 plus cash to attain it! I ain't no die hard ford or bronco fan but an all original specimen from wyoming has a super high value to ME.... I would love a shot at owning it my self... that is why I asked permission to post a truck pic belonging to some one else...

I'd love to get my mitts on that one too. For hunting on scrawny mountain roads, they are tops ... especially when ya run into a dead end and its practically a thousand feet straight up and down on either side. Been there done that. Only problem is ... ever put an elk inside one? Or on top? Holy moley. Well...no matter ... took my chances then and still would, if I hunted more regular, now days.

BTW .. it doesn't have cut fenders on it. Those are stock lines.

Front fenders are stock. The rear fenders have been cut and flared.

Well ok then.. they did a heck of a job with it. Sure looks like stock lines to me, but I was wrong once before...back in 68 I think it was.
