Thanks guys for the great video. I feel so much better about the 72' Bronco I bought for $30k. Running, drives down the road 60MPH, doors don't drop, power brakes, 4 wheel disc brakes, patina original Mallard Green. Keep up the great work in educating us.😊
We have two Broncos , one is 1970 351 Cleveland 4 speed factory PTO winch roll cage no rust, new clutch. The 1979 XLT Ranger 351 m, captain chairs swing out tire rack , factory roll cage, duel tanks, tow package, Built for the forest service. both have new tires , new windshields. The 79 has 68.600 original miles original paint perfect zero rust so is the inside perfect like new . The 70 my man built it in High school in 1976 he was 17 years old, engine is out of a wrecked Cougar Eliminator, he worked part time for a tow service and had access to many parts in the tow yard , both live in are barn..?
Just got my 70 bronco, only needs hood since it has a gash in it. Running Driving for 10k. Butttttt, needs some serious love. Painted camo, lot of grease build up on the Tcase and Trans. But the tub was in amazing shape. The owner prior to the guy I bought it from re did all the floor pans and rockers. I got a bit of a steal.
I just picked up a one owner 72 bronco ranger with a 302, 3 on the tree, power steering, all the trim.... rusty but all there, even has the original hubcaps for $3,000
Thanks guys! Just bought a ‘72 for $35k. This episode made me feel pretty good about that price. PS, PB, AT, rebuilt 302 w/22k mi, Dana 44 LS, soft top. New Discs up front. Was driving it that day after a battery and rubber fuel line. Won’t bore you with what I paid back in high school for my first cherry uncut rig. Hurts too much anyhow. Cheers!
They are still out there. I paid 6k for my 1968. A guy that bought it wanted to get his money back out of it. I had also tried throwing a lot more money at others and was turned down. I got lucky!
I got lucky, bought mine sight unseen, guy meet me at the St. Louis airport, gave me the keys and I drove it from MO to ME at Highway speed. Haven’t had any issues in 10+ years. Best $12K I ever spent!
What if you find one that has a fiberglass body kit that has not started but all parts are included? I dont hear anything on Fiberglass body kits so I assume no one likes them.
i just bought 2 1976s for CHEAP. its not terrible( ive built many Model A and this is much better than most of them) I gave 1000 for one in similar condition to the 16k one you just reviewed.
I bought a 72 in 2018 for $1400, not running since 2008 and needed everything but complete with minimal rust in the Front floors, front inner fenders and one inner rocker had a soft spot. The owner was in prison and his sketchy family was happy to take my cash 😂

Jon, You still have an open invitation to come to Cookeville and see my One owner I bought new in Jan 1973, Nearly got it all back together.
Great video. Feeling pretty good about the value of my ‘72.

Wow! Nice!

Wow! That’s a great deal!
Great video! I got my '71 20 years ago for $2100 and it's in pretty great shape but that's unheard of anymore!
Wow!!! That’s amazing
This is really good info guys! Thanks
Ford should have made the new bronco look like the old bronco. They would sell like hotcakes.
...like muscle cars..them days are over.....i guess i'll just build my first gen. ford explorer sport 5 speed.🙂!
My 22 was $30k, can’t beat it .
I got lucky, bought mine sight unseen, guy meet me at the St. Louis airport, gave me the keys and I drove it from MO to ME at Highway speed. Haven’t had any issues in 10+ years. Best $12K I ever spent!
Wow!!! That’s incredible
I drive it daily. I’m in AZ now, so any rust has halted. Love driving this thing, wife hates it. 😁
Btw, the fixing might be more fun than the driving 😎👌
Not more fun, but definitely wrenching and driving are favorites
What if you find one that has a fiberglass body kit that has not started but all parts are included? I dont hear anything on Fiberglass body kits so I assume no one likes them.
Fiberglass looks good, but it’s very good for resale
Still dont think a full off restoration is worth 200k
It’s worth it to someone… and that’s why they get it
The market determines the overall price point. Meccum and bring a trailer the last 6 months have shown bronco values have taken a hit.
You know what they say, what goes up must come down.

Haha! That’s amazing
I'm About 85% through a complete restoration. Parts and materials around 90K so it was a good thing that I got it so cheap. 😬
@@craigmaverick whoa! Man that’s crazy
Enjoyed the video
Thank you!
Hey it has door inserts😅 it's only 8500.
Man I remember when that was a $200.00 Bronco
Seriously! And it wasn’t that long ago
My 66 has a lot of diamond plate!
Haha! To each his own.
Just bought a 79 for 3k.
Lucky!
