    My dad gave me his 73 recently. I went to pick it up with him in 1974. Traded a vw bug and $1000 cash. Since then, we've been everywhere in it. Nice find, man!! Enjoy!

      That's awesome! I unfortunately ended up selling this 1973, but I just recently picked up another 1973 that I'm excited about!

    Looks pretty similar to my 1972 when I began. I have a full shop and ended up with about 5 years into it, $80k, including a reproduction steel tub, doors and front fenders. Then of course it had to be glass blasted and painted, which I had done by a shop. Now it's a pristine all steel '72 total investment ~$110k.

    I live on the big island,. You're not going to believe my story... found my friends old bronco two miles from my house...I have 7 bronco s now all found within 6 miles from home. None of them running. So amazing, working on it.

    Looks great buddy!! I bought mine in 2018 in pieces with the motor out for $8500. I’m almost done 4 years later and man it’s such a great vehicle to own! Can’t wait to see more

    I live in middle TN just south of Nashville and have a 1975 Bronco with 302 and 3 speed that has been converted to a Hurst floor shifter from the column. Has some rust not as bad as this one. Has original interior, 6 point cage, hard top, soft top with soft doors as well. The hard original doors are with it as well. Has a TN clean title. I'm interested in letting it go. If you are serious let me know

Definitely could relate to your video of thinking i would never find one. People too far away, rust buckets, no response...!! Found mine 20 minutes from my house, in my old neighborhood. I am sill in disbelief, I go out and just look at it in my garage. still can`t believe it. good luck with your resto!!
