I know this is one of many buying Bronco questions so her i go. I have built several Bronco's in the past but have been without one for the last 7years. I know the money that can be sunk into one and the personal rewards of your own sweat but you also loose your wallet sometimes when you sell. With all of that being said, I have been looking at few Broncos that i fell already have the high dollars items done, so I want to get some opions on the pricing. Here is a quick description of one for this conversation:

Pre 70's with
> 1977 BRONCO DANA 44 FRONT AXLE WITH WARN SHAFTS,
> 1977 BRONCO 9" REAR AXLE WITH MOSIER SHAFTS AND ARB'S IN BOTH, 5.13 GEAR
> NEW DRIVESHAFTS,POWER DISC BRAKES, POWER STEERING,EVERYTHING IS NEW OR REBUILT IN THE DRIVETRAIN INCLUDING THE C-4 AUTOMATIC AND DANA 20 TRANSFER CASE, 351W BORED .030 OVER WITH FORD MOTOERSPORT TORKER CAM, HOLLEY PRO-JECTION
Warn 9000i, Custom pre-runners from JBG
On board WELDER , JBG 4core, JBG coated headers 5.5 inch lift Superlift, 35" Goodyear, Centerline Aluminum rims
Body good, no rust hard doors, no soft tops
Interior redone seats, nice dash, cover, nothing else special
All parts within 3years old.

Question would you pay over 11K for this rig just with these specifics.

Gator, I am doing the same thing right now. I put over 30K in my last bronco in parts alone and I got lucky and totaled mine with full cov-ins so I came out ok. I placed the post last week on "please help price a Bad A$$ eb" and the responce on this rig came back at a avarage of 10k.. I payed more than that for it and have no regrets. I knew what was in this rig and helped build parts of it and was in on every mod that was done so I know exactly what went in to it. Kenney had well over35k in his. So what it comes down to is you know what it costs to build and in my case I could not have done it for what he had in it. If you feel the same way about this one than go for it. <IMG SRC="smilies/usa.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/usa.gif" border="0">

Gator you nailed the price and yes I am getting it. Drove it yesterday to the store with my friends daughter and it is just BAD-A$$. Good luck on your buy!

Your rig seemed to have some higher dollar parts then the one i am looking at. Your deal sounds pretty good to me and it is a good thing you didn't pass it up or u would regret it I am sure. The NV4500 has to be sweet, I would like to get that and the atlas but it is all about money.. take care.
