I really am just looking for a bronco as a weekend vehicle. I really won't take it off road unless I go to the beach.

The vehicle I am looking at in Arizona says it is in Yuma. The link to the craigslist ad is:

Any thoughts on the pics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for being so helpful. It means a lot.

Thats a hack job stay away from it........

I'm still trying to figure out this whole picture thing. I'm not sure how to post them.

How do I add an image to a post?

If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.

To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing

after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums (?) in this way too.

From what the body shop guy told me, this body is useless. The only thing worth saving is the frame and mechanical part of it. So, to me it seems like it would be better to sell what I have and start fresh.

If you're going to pay a body shop to do the work, why not pay someone experienced in Early Bronco restoration, lile NicksTrix. http://www.nickstrix.com/

I'm fixing a tub that looks to be in worse shape but I've down that road plenty in the past. The advantage of mine is it's 95% original with only front floors, DS door post and kick panel i nthe past. That tub needs a decent amount of work, and looks like it's had some sub-par patches/welding already done to it. If you are looking at a EB in the $8k which would require another $1k in shipping you could find one in much better shape than the blue one on CL here on CB.

Once you find a decent Bronco use the one you have as a parts truck and sell what you don't need. You'll be surprised how valuable a parts truck is when you are restoring a vehicle. A friend of mine restores FJ40's and he ALWAYS has a 100% original cruiser (usually rusty as hell) on his property to use as a reference when he is putting his restos back together.

Thanks, I just wish I had done some home work before I went and spent money on these.

I looked on the site and don't see where he is located. I'm sure money will be an issue also.

Careful dealing with this Bronco. It has been for sale since December of last year. The whole deal is fishy. I first got a call back from someone saying it was his dads Bronco, then a call 3 weeks later from a very confused older guy saying it was his and he wasn't selling it. He tells me that his son ran the ad and is trying to make him sell it.

Just my experience anyway.

P.S. I actually had to go as far as Oakland CA. to get a good unit.Don't be fooled by AZ climate, found just as much crap here. ALWAYS look in person before laying out the cash. I was lied to by 3 different sellers about rust, mechanical issues etc. I walked from all 3 long distant deals and went home empty handed after spending on travel. But being patient I got a great unit for $8500 after3 months of looking.

Thanks for the advise on that bronco. Maybe I will find one soon

tmccleish, stay away from that Yuma bronco. I drove down to see it from Los Angeles and it was a waste of time. It's a decent paint job from far away but the rest is trash. Floor boards are all hacked up and pieced together and painted black to cover up the mess, Engine has no power and a bunch of other stuff wrong with it. They're selling this project to complete one he has in his backyard. Son told my buddy while I was out test driving it with his dad.

Keep searching, friend-o. If you ever see one around southern NM, I'd be happy to go check it out for you and take some pics. That Yuma deal smells all the way from here!

Welcome to the brotherhood.

Thanks for the heads up on it..
