After fixing up my first truck, there's no way I'd sell it for any amount of money. I'd literally turn down a million unless I was back against the wall. I'd keep the bronco for life 😉
Oh yeah, I get that for sure. I'm thankful that we are not in a spot where that hard decision has to be made, but there are others out there that are in that spot and I hope they hear this, learn something, and don't get taken.
yeah the chip shortage is huge. On top of that once they get up to speed there is going to be a ton of last year models that have now sat for a full year doing nothing. They are going to end up selling them for so cheap
I just got to say thank you. Watching your videos have given me the want to take on my own projects. I would have to agree with the others and say keep them. I had a 76 f150 that I sold years ago and I regret it all the time. I keep looking for one similar however they are going for more than I’m willing to pay at this point. Also because of you I decided to keep my little Tacoma and rebuild the motor since it locked up. Thanks for the awesome videos! Keep them coming! Thanks again from Washington.
Thank you so much, Ryan, I love hearing about people taking their projects on. Like you stated, deciding to sell your projects is a very hard and emotional thing to do. It is a good topic that does need to be talked about though and we as owners the more knowledge we have behind our belt the better. Your little Tacoma is a solid little truck and definitely worth the energy put back in it. We sold an 84 Toyota 4x4 a few years ago and I do regret it a bit because it was a great little truck. The only reason we let it go was that we had so many other trucks and it was not getting used at all. Good luck with your rebuild brother and keep me posted on how it's going.
Sold mine f250 for 11500 few months ago but felt like that was the best I’d get with all the stimulus money going around .And it’s going to be fully restored. I miss it tons don’t get me wrong
I fully understand bud. There is a ton of money flying around right now. I miss everyone I sell but I'm super happy that I'm able to put my hands on so many of them.
My dad used to have a 91 bronco eddie bauer she sadly rotted away motor and trans outlasted the rest my dad now has a 2010 ford raptor he loves it sadly that truck is a rot wagon because for some odd reason it was never primed I dont expect his raptor to last until he passes but if it does depending how much of it is left I'd start there he has been good on the body work fall of 2020 he did the rockers on it honestly I would want a old ford bronco or a classic muscle car that is never spoken of now adays despite rarity I would love to own a old 57 Chrysler 300c and shoot to make it closest to original
Yeah pretty crazy how the asking prices rised. I remember just an average non restored 78-79 would got for 2-7k. I bought a 78 custom for $2,500 and got rid of it 5 years ago, currently own a 2018 raptor but I still think about that bronco every day.
Oh yeah. A friend of mine bought a running good looking one 10 years ago for $500 just for the front clip to put on his F100. Gave it away because they were so cheap then.
Personally, I would hang onto it, but of course depends on what it means to you and how bad you could use the money. I bought my 86 XLT in 97 and been offered a decent amount in the past, but she’s been with me through a lot and don’t think I could ever sell, even though I could use the money
I 100% intend on keeping my green and white 78 because it has so much sentimental value to me, but that is not true for the rest of my fleet. That being said even the green and white one does have a price if we are offered a stupid amount of money, but it would have to be way way high.
@@PaperBeatsRock in the process of restoring and modifiying. Highliner headliner , custom sub box behind the seat , dana 44 swap , 408ci windsor. Gonna be a looker when she's done 👌🤘
Man that is definitely crazy prices for sure!! I’m wondering what the older!!!! 1967-1972 Chevy trucks & even the blazers also??? Awesome video buddy!!!
Thank bud, and oh yeah this is not just limited to fords like you said. This is across the board and things you wouldn't even think have value. I have been seeing Datsun 510's- and 620's going for crazy money as well.
Oh, I understand for sure, and I'm not trying to tell everyone to sell their vehicles. But we all know that one guy that is low on income, has 10-20 trucks setting around his property that he is never going to restore and this would really improve his quality of life.
I get asked if I want to sell my 87 Bronco all the time I get people honking their horn in traffic to pull me over, pulling up to me at red lights don't even start me about while I'm getting at the gas station. Mine has been in Georgia since she left the showroom floor so No Rust all the trim inc that ugly piece on the tailgate removed everything smoothed out & a solid gray with a Heavy red primer. I put a small Skyjacker lift ProComp Shocks on her (I destroyed the Rancho trash) & 35x12.5x15's ProComps on CRAGER rimes have the C6 tranny- vastly stronger than the AOD models & the DANA44 TBB. Mile Marker locking hubs the WARN Stainless Steel hubs failed & broke. I ordered the reupholstery front seat Low Back No Armrest (Bench is perfect) kit from Jeef's Bronco Graveyard about 5 wks ago (it takes 12 wks) End of the day I'm NEVER see a truck like mine but NEVER Selling her.. I have NEVER EVER seen a Bronco like mine down to the Black dash Trim NO WOOD TRASH in the 22-24 yrs I've had her I've made some upgrades redesigned a few things man between her & my 2 OLD OLD Harley's I'll be broke till death. It's tuff when you love something made of steel
Oh I am for sure. Its part of the family. I have thought about selling a few of my other trucks to help support the rebuild of it. The cost is going to be pretty high.
As much as I hate to say it; now might be the best time for you to sell, then when the prices go back down, you can get another one. (perhaps the same one)
Before Robert passed he said if I wanted to sell his Bronco I could get over $100,000. Not sure if I will sell it but would be nice to own my own home. Also our 1977 High boy "Orange Beast"
@@mintyman1968 You can see both of Roberts Bronco and Orange high boy over on LockedAndLoaded4x4. ru-vid.com/show-UCRQvxu3i7faqhgBHDzs0hog Craig over there did a vast amount of work on both and does a very detailed coverage of the trucks.
Honestly, I wouldn't part with it unless we were in a real bad bind. I would be ok with selling the others and have thought about doing so just to help fund the bronco rebuild.
Hi ,what is the average price of a 1977 V8 f150 ,nothing fancy ,something that you can drive ,not worried what the paint looks like because I want that rat / barn find look ,I live in the UK and at the moment I drive a 2016 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 3.2 and I fancy a mid life crisis project ,did not know if it would be cheaper to get on here in the UK or get one imported over ?
If your looking for a 4wd that is not to bed in the body and just needs a bit of wrenching and some body work you will be looking at $5k-$10k USD depending on a lot of variables. Shipping I have no idea though. We have trucks transported over to the NY from here in Oregon and that cost $2k-$3k per truck.
There is a lot of money to be made there. Being an enthusiast helps a lot and you know what to look for and where the problems will be in the trucks. That knowledge goes a long way.
It's still very surprisingly high. As broncos go for resale value in each here is the list from most valuable to least. Early Bronco 66-77, Dentside bronco 78-79, Bull Nose 80-86, OBS 92-96, Brick Nose 87-91. Now when we get to the bottle of the list there is still a lot of value there and quality is a larger concern at that level. I will say that I just had a friend trade his 89 bronco for a 2001 F250 4x4 with a 7.3 and a lift. It was a pretty clean truck so really take everything with a grain of salt and if someone really wants it don't be surprised.
@@Beandiptheredneck Yes with most broncos quality is going to be a big deal. This is excluding the EB because them damn things way as well be made of gold.
100% agree. It's not something I would sell just because it has owned it for so long and it has so much sentimental value. That being said if I got the right offers on other trucks in my fleet I would let them go.
I am going to. It's part of the family, but the other trucks. As much as I do like them they are all expendable and if I got a decent offer I would let them all go.
@@PaperBeatsRockim happy to hear it man because you honestly seem to love the getting your Bronco otg n for the other ones yes man makes sense i wants to get a 79 Bronco loves em gotta save up n find a decent one can't wait i would probably never get rid of it 😂🤣
Isaac, I agree. I have way too much history with the truck. The other trucks I own I would part with though if I was offered a decent amount for. I have thought about selling the brown bronco or the crew cab to help with the funding of rebuilding my green and white one.
Thank you so much for the heads up. I just did. I struggle hard with that stuff and I run Grammarly to help catch things but this one slipped through the cracks.
