Quoted: Looking for a Ford Bronco just to run around in. Found this on Craigslist https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/5742567904.html Had it listed last week for $3k. down to $2k. now How much $$ do you think I'd need to put into it? Given what he has said is wrong with it, and what is probably wrong with it that he hasn't said, is it worth looking at? HIs post below. "Hello there, I have a 1987 Ford Bronco. I've owned it for over a year and have loved it. The only reason I'm selling is, I have bought a more gas efficient vehicle. Interior is great, small rip in the driver seat. Lots of dog hair I can get rid of that. Vehicle speedometer says 42,xxx miles, I bought it at 34,xxx The Tires are new $800 upgraded the stereo mp3 $100 New brake pads, drums, shoes, roters. $600 Water pump $40 Clean title The issues Heater works great. The a/c doesn't have a compressor but the fan can blow air. Windows won't roll up/down. Definitely an easy fix. New water pump. But a slow leak in the coolant system Runs great, small start up issue. Just with how you hold the key. I Used this as my everyday transportation for the majority of the time i owned it, But it's been 2 months I need it gone. That's the reason it's priced accordingly." made hot. you can probably fix that crap for under 300 yourself, minus the A/C miles seem low, unless you can confirm on the title. I'd take a look at it, especially since its 4wd. |

If it runs good and passes smog the price is decent. Don't think there were any bad motors around then. 4.9,5.0,5.8. All have ups and downs but will do just fine.
Depending on what you want to put into it the work will be endless. Most likely the whole front end and suspension need love. As well as all fluids. I imagine AC is a must have down there so price it too. |

Around here, with no rust, that would have been gone already.

The perfect vehicle for a Dana 60/Sterling swap, that TTB front axle is horrible.

I forever regret not buying my dad's 88 XLT when he offered it to me for basically nothing. Had a brand new 5.0 EFI long block and C6, showroom quality tan interior. FUCK
I learned how to drive on dad's previous 87, many great road trips as a kid in that truck. |
