Does a fiberglass body decrease a Bronco's value?

My best answer is if you like tequila with salt and lime, you don’t like tequila. In pure form, the early bronco is top shelf. Mixed or modified is excepted and appreciated though leaves a sour after taste too many. I’ve never had a headache after drinking Patron. Most people, myself included have a margarita story or two. 1oz shot of Patron $8. 16oz margarita $8. You might get more bang for your buck, but that’s not always a good thing.

I remember speaking with a buddy about a Bronco I passed on because it was fiberglass and he made the best point: are you looking to sell it in a few years as an investment or drive it for a while?

The dealership/consigner wants $39,995 for the eBay listing I posted but it didn't clear $18,100 on the eBay auction. I've seen the same thing happen with similar auctions.

I assume all things equal, fiber is worth less. How much? Who knows. I have had over 10 broncos and all had rust. I built mine to keep forever and the only way I could rationalize it was fiber.

Done right, many people dont know its fiber.

seeing as how we just went through another hailstorm here in DFW, also won't the fiberglass tubs survive better through a hailstorm (assuming we aren't talking big sized hail) with looking like a golf ball afterwards?

Just tub is fiberglass rest is steel and no I don’t think it’s worth as much as steel tub but will be in 10 years because steel will be rusted and need redone again
