• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

Always a big fan of explorer upholstery. I have never see this color combo on the seats before though, its pretty neat...

I'm torn every time i see one of these. I have a 74 Orange Explorer that got a previous resto-makeover. I planned to take it a step further but find myself lusting after the Broncohut reproduction Orange Indian Blanket seat covers. I know full well though that my high-back seats are more comfortable and a flip-up rear seat is more functional..and there is no way I can ever find the original orange panels, arm rests, etc. The seats alone make this 70's-chic

This looks like an original orange/ orange Explorer but the seats have been changed or recovered. The original orange door panel is shown in one photo and the seats would have been orange with "orange stripe/plaid" inserts. The seats look like '72 Sport Explorer seats which are a one year only option.

The seats are a head scratcher. The rear seat has the proper arm rests.
Is it common to have the door post tag on sideways?

I agree it is a solid one but at that price and the bidding not done, it will be pretty steep once you get it cleaned up and road worthy.

Holycow.....65k ...... It must have been the gun rack that they were after.

This is just mind boggling. It feels like this crazy stock market. When is it time to bail and get back in cheap? I just don't get it.

At some point I may be one of those guys who has to eat their words "I'll never sell mine" lol. $65k is incredible for that. The under carriage looks just like 66' u15 I brought home from Arkansas that had been sitting for almost 30 years, other than the Dana 44 of course lol.
