Me want!

1979 Ford Bronco - $3500 (Douglas)


Man, if only If I had the money.

I would put all of my stuff out of my 90 Bronco in this...


If anyone close to GA wants one, this looks good.

It's kinda nice, needs more pics though of interior and motor. But the paint looks good and the slider windows are getting kind of rare. I wouldn't pay 38 for it but someone would.

Ok, me and the guy are meeting tomorrow to look over each others Bronco. Wish me luck folks.

I hate to let my 1990 go BUT I really love to have a 79.

IF I do get it, I might take out the 5.8 later on and put in a 300 and take out the c6 and put in a np435 and jack it up 6".


Man I'm like a car dealer...trade and fix and trade and sell.

Maybe...lol.


I hope this dude trades with me.

My Bronco is pretty straight. Only thing that might need work is the tailgate (rust hole), one rust hole on side of Bronco (very tiny). I overcutt my vinyl flooring so it might need to be replaced. Driverseat needs to be work on (Moves some).

Check engine light is on due to me unplugging the EGR sensor plug (cat is off).

Emergency brake light is on cause I don't have emergency brake hooked up.

Looks like my oil pan leaks a little but not to bad.




I have done alot to this truck. Maybe we can even trade and it will run good. Interior don't have to be tip top since mine ain't.

Ok i just got back from meeting the guy. Bronco looks in fair shape. Floor pans looked good..no holes just a little rust. Still has the whole ac system in it which surprised me. Interior may neeed some work. One bad rust spot (tiny holes) near right rear taillight. Has race track trim but missing one piece on driverside door.

He cranked it up. Ran no knocks nor smoke.

Tires are ok on it.

Valve covers leaking a little he said.

Rear axle is leaking some from yoke.





What yall think?

Even trade?

Looks awesome. Id be worries a bit about 4wdynot working tho if he gives you the BW transfer case then id go for it.

The racetrack trim is cery pricey but if you only beed one piece then thays not so bad.
