I’m not so sure about that. There’s a company called Icon which builds new Broncos out of old ones that has sold quite a few in the same price range.
When I was there, they were driving the rebuilt and rebuilt and rebuilt WW II Jeepneys
120 to 180K? I like the look of the old Bronco, but let’s get real here. That puts this vehicle into a price range that isn’t reasonable.

My neighbor across the street and his adult son, work on a Jeep something every weekend. They are always putting on some new gadget, tires, lift kit, etc. It’s not an old Jeep, but fairly new. Taking off fenders, putting on extenders, all kinds of stuff, but I have never, ever, seen one speck of mud or dirt on the thing! The son drives it on a regular basis and it’s in the driveway every weekend with the hood up and it’s on jack-stands for something or other. Always polishing and waxing the thing, cleaning the glass that isn’t dirty and putting shiny stuff on the tires.
I think they would have a coronary if a bird crapped on it...................
My grandson drove by a house here in Eureka every day that had a old Bronco sitting in the weeds. He stopped one day and asked it it was for sale and they said no but he kept hounding them until they sold it to him. He got it running but rarely drove it but one day salesman from Sacramento saw it and said it was a rare Bill Stroppe prepared unit and made the kid a offer he could not refuse. I have 42,000 digital photos to go through but I will post a couple them when I find it. The guy gave him a ton of cash, a nice older Bronco and spare parts for it...
