Nastiest 72 Bronco I have seen!

[y2kcrawler]

I was just browsing Ebay with vehicles I would love to own one day but cant afford and came across this!

The guy must have sunk $20k into this thing! Its prestine!! Needs a roll cage though!!.... And diffrent rims than those ghetto ones.

My boss man sunk more than that into his, and it looks nowhere near as nice as this one. Thats one purdy Bronco.

That's nice and clean, but $25k with no cage? And he couldn't figure out anything better than dangling his iPod by the cable? And blocks in the back? And a drag link and track bar that aren't parallel? And a terribly undersized e-fan mounted to the radiator with those chintsy through the fin tie wraps? Call me a nit-picker if you want, he made some poor decisions for a "dream rig". And that doesn't even address that eye-sore digital dash and 20" wheels, both of which look really out of place in a rig of that vintage. I've seen way better built early Brono's for that kind of money.

Ha yeah I was thinking, I bet he dropped more than 20k into having it "restored" but has stock radius arms with drop brackets and a carb. Oh well, looks nice!

It's still got 4 wheel drum brakes too. Oh wait that was to keep from covering the chrome wheels with brake dust right.....

Since we are picking it apart..

Does his ad even tell what the drivetrain is? Stock 302/3spd I would guess by the drum brakes.

"Options: Convertible, CD player "

those wheels?????? what is he 16 years old

to each there own.... ill keep my comments to myself

Does it have disc brakes on the left side and drums on the right?
I swear that looks like a caliper on the driver's side.

driver's side


passenger side

 

[braxton357]

Looks like he actually used it and decided to swap in discs after realizing the suck that stock drums bring.

 

[y2kcrawler]

Haha ok this thing can easily be picked apart.. And yes that does look like he has a caliper on the drivers side? Some things definately need to be changed (including the price) but its all show no go thats probably why it doesnt have anything good underneath... I especially like the rear seat harnesses... Whats the point with no cage?

 

[6BangBronk]

If you look at the pic near the bottom of the " driver's front wheel" it's clearly a drum.

To hold you in place so you can't even duck when it rolls onto your head.
Yeah, that's dangerous.

Nice classic restomod Broncos in the $20k range are not that hard to find. I wouldn't get too excited about this one.
