1975 FORD BRONCO SURVIVOR FOUND IN A BARN, HAS ONLY 8K MILES!

In the past couple of years, Bronco prices have been climbing up a lot. Eventually, they will have to top out. Right?
Well, I don’t know if that will ever happen but I do know that the Bronco is an amazing little truck. This particular example was sold for a lot of money and it was found in a barn in Las Vegas with only 8,000 miles on the odometer.

As you can probably see, body rust is present in a lot of places. The owner says that it isn’t cancerous. According to the owner, the floors are affected a lot. However, the fenders, rockers, doorposts, and tailgate appear to be solid. Repairing the rust on this truck won’t be that hard. A lot of car enthusiasts like the faded paint and surface rust look on their cars/trucks. Things appear to be very rough in the interior. There are leaks in the windows and the top, cracks in the floor mats, and numerous stains under the rear seat. However, I am very surprised by the condition of the seats. They look very solid. Under the hood, this truck has a 302 V8 engine. The owner says that the engine is running and that it has no leaks. I don’t know if he tested this out or he is assuming that this engine doesn’t have any leaks. The 3-speed column shift has been converted to a Hurst shifter and a couple of the engine parts were rebuild.

This Bronco appears to be in solid condition, aside from the rust. It has no mechanical issues and most of the truck is present. I don’t know if the mileage is legit, but with a 46-year-old truck, you can’t know. I guess the new owner will ask himself a couple of questions about this truck. Like, “Did I pay too much for this truck?” or “Is the mileage real?”
Eventually, he will get the answers.
