I bought this for 1500 bucks and thought it was a great deal until I did a search and seen GRstyles brother in laws deal on his Bronco for 100 bucks, but needless to say I`m still happy with this deal. This Bronco does need some work, maybe a new tranny and suspension pieces, and the interior needs a lot of attention, but I already had a friend offer me 5k for it! It was in a dust field near Sacramento and if the owner would have seen it today he would have made a doody in his pants.

Look at roof without VLRP, and also tires where cleaned with VLRP on one side notice the white walls, but both were topped.

This was the paint after washing and claying, it was shot- swirled on top of swirled and oxidation from hell.

I haven`t decided if I`m going to sell it or not, after work and products a 3k profit is nothing to shake a hand at, but I kinda like the bronco too. I think I`m going to see what a mechanic says about it first. What`s the best deal you have ever made on a car/truck???

Didn`t know it had tha nasty residue until I got it out of the garage and into the sunlight, hit it with a QD and know it`s perfect. I do have to finish the roof but you get the idea.

Anyhow, I don`t want to kill the 56k`s so enjoy.

That is a great looking truck. You have to pay $$ for the quality cars. How many miles and what year? A tranny is dirt cheap for that. If the interior is just dirty and not torn or damaged?



Watch the lower part of the tailgate, they rust.

It`s a 95 with 142k, the interior is leather but worn. A damn butcher must have installed the aftermarket radio, wrecked the dash and the radio doesn`t fit. There is a sweet smell I don`t care for, but know it`s nothing major. This is the best deal I`ve ever gotten, I knew when I saw it that with a little work this would look new again. The before pics didn`t come out and the ones that did couldn`t be uploaded to my Autopia account, but the paint was almost as bad as the roof. You can see in the half and half picture of the oxidized swirled paint versus the compounded paint. Tailigate is ok no rust.
