85 Bronco with a Good start

Post by merickson »

This is kind of a feeler. I'm needing some money for a couple of unexpected bills that have come up. Getting older sucks!
Anyways, I got this Bronco about a year ago and have done a little to it already.
New (rebuilt) transmission about 4,000 miles ago
Strong 5.0 engine with about 140 k Gets 17+ mpg on the highway
Transfer case checked out and 4x4 works great
I had Solo motorsports install their cut and turned beams, radius arms, Q-80 deavers, all new moog steering, new steering box, dropped pitman arm, with Fox 2.5 shocks up front and Fox 2.0 shocks in the back. It has about 13" up front and 15" in the back. The body is in really good shape with NO rust. Interior is good, but nothing much has been done to it.
It has a custom front pre-runner bumper with a 30" Toughlight bar.
It's pretty dependable as it is my daily driver. I will try to post some picks but forgive me if it takes awhile as I'm kinda technologically retarded.
I'm needing about $7000 but let me know what you think. Thanks 951-219-6155

I saw this Bronco on my way home from work in Menifee yesterday & it looked really CLEAN for a bricknose. It caught my eye from the opposite direction. GLWS :)

That's a good looking truck.

My 84 with a 351 and C6 used to do 13-14 on the freeway when driven sensibly.

Good looking bronco. Good luck with the sale. I'd post it up on race-dez also if you are serious about selling. Worth the few bucks for a premium ad.

Sorry to wake up an old thread but are you still considering selling? Trying to sell my powerstroke in the next couple days and would love to check this thing out if you've still got it and would sell.
