Gotta '?' about a 73 Bronco FS

[pimptony]

Got a line on a 73 bronco in my area. Bare with me. Rig has sat for years or so. The Specs:

302 - factory w/badges
3 on the tree
Factory A/C and PS
Drums on the corners

No major rust. Looks like it was repainted at one time. I have very limited knowledge on these - just the basics.


Help me out --- I know it needs brake lines from the Master Cyl down to the prop valve and a battery. The asking is 3500 but I was thinking more like 2500 b/c of the small stuff and the fact that I can't start it.

What are your plans for it? $3500 is a good price for Texas and it looks to be in good shape...the uncut EB's are getting more and more rare. From the emblems, it is a sport model and has the chrome trim. Shoot him a low ball but be prepared to pay full price for it if you really want it.

BTW, It has a prop valve on it? I thought just the 76-77's had those (at least from the factory) to keep the front disc/rear drum braking balanced.

I would like to drive it and maybe wheel it a little not much. I like the shape that it is in for a vehicle that old and nto much and its driving.

Cant see your pics, but make sure to check the rockers, floorpans, and front core support for rust. Brake lines arent hard to do, but make sure you check the rest of it out good. Around here 3500 would be for a pretty nice EB. So, if it doesnt have much rust, then go for it. Just don't cut it, as not only does an uncut look sweet...but they are getting more and more rare every day.

That's not a bad price for an uncut Bronco. Check for rust as Braxton357 stated (check the door striker posts too:eek: ) and the EBs never came with "factory" A/C they were all installed at the dealer or by specialty shops;) ........Hans

Sounds like it would be a great bronco to restore back to its old glory. Like the others said, don't cut the body. I don't even have uncut wheel wells and it is painful for me to trim the slightest amount cause my body is so straight. Look inside the engine compartment near the firewall on the sides too, it is a common problem cancer area.
