Bronco

Hey guys,

I was looking for a bronco to work on and build up to be a respectable offroader, and i came across this one on Ebay. I was just looking for some opinions and if you guys think its worth the 1.5 hr drive to take a look at it in person?

Its either this or between two other ones: a '88 and a '91. Either one of those can be had for around 2k, the '88 is in decent shape, minor rust around the normal spots and the '91 we haven't looked at yet, going to see that one tomorrow.

thanks,
Paul

Item Number: 4623022438

If that doesn't work just go to '79 broncos and its the black one from PA with quit a bit of lift and some large tires.

If you email the guy and find out if it has new gears and lockers(4.56) or so, and if so, $4K is a very good price for that.
I bought my 79 Bronco for $1,500 and it's very good mechanically, but the body is in almost the exact same shape, not great, but not bad.
I put $2K into lift, rims, and tires alone. I'm going to have about $1,100 into gears and lockers in a month, so that will be about $4,500 easily, and no engine rebuild yet.

The 78 79 Broncos are soooo much better off road that the 80-96 Broncos in suspension, axles, engines, everything.
