1977 bronco
« on: March 10, 2014, 01:20:38 PM »
bought a 1977 bronco from my uncle last spring. finally decided enough was enough and im sick of it being parked. it hasn't ran since 1993. my uncle claimed it does run but has an electrical issue of some kind. the story is he was backing a boat into the river and the alternator wires got cut by the fan. he spliced them back together and it woudnt start so he parked it in his garage and there it sat until I bought it. hes not really all there.... so im not sure what the real issues are. needed cash to fund this project so on Saturday I sold my 1966 ford mustang. might regret it someday but im more of  4X4 kind of guy anyways. changing all the fluids, spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, some fuel line, fuel filter, new battery, new ignition switch and ignition module. he took the ignition stuff out for another rig so gotta have them. do that tonight and we'll see if the motor turns over. motor has 40,000 on it. my uncle bought it in august of 1977, the guy that had it before him owned the dealership he got it from. might get lucky and get it to run, if the motor is garbage then I have then cash to rebuild it or replace it. good ol 302 backed by a c4.

I love that rig. I had a nice one, same year....and like a doorknob I traded it away. At the time I thought I was doing a good thing aquiring a 72 F100 but I sure wish I still had that Bronco.

Love the 66-77 broncos. If I ever get tired of the Jeep an early Bronco will be built.

If that link is what the new Bronco will look like, I'd prefer the '77.

Why would anyone go for that when for a mere 150K-200K you could have an Icon...  :chuckle:
