Last week I came across a deal on a 1986 Bronco that seemed to good to be true. A young man by the name Javier had this Bronco for sale and only wanted $400! He even drove it to my work so I could check it out. Needless to say within 15 minutes I had agreed to buy it and could not believe the deal I was getting. It has a fairly new EFI 302 V8(around 5,000 miles on it) and it runs very strong! I don't have the time at the moment to get into great detail but I did get a few pictures of it. I will get some better ones when the weather gets better, enjoy for now :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />!

She's not for sale at the moment ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

I plan on doing some work on the tail gate once we find out where "Fay" is headed. It has rust on the tail gate and front fenders but no where else thank goodness.

Thanks!

Damn fine looking truck you got there. I would be skeptical of the claim that it only has 57,000 actually miles since that would mean it was driven less than 3000 miles per year since 1986. But no matter how you slice it, you got a **** of a deal for a good running Bronco in that condition. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was very skeptical until I ran a carfax on it. I have since found out that it sat for few years in a storage facility and after being pulled out of storage the new motor was installed. The previous owner just rarely drove it due to gas prices and his girlfriend having a more gas conservative vehicle for them to ride in.

No matter how you slice it you got a steal. You could roll it down a hill and I'd still gladly give you 400.00 for and walk away with a smirk on my face cause I ripped you off.

That is one heck of a deal. I got mine for $400.00 but its not as nice as yours. As for Fay, she is headed to me at the moment, and I'll wave hey for you as she passes sometime tomorrow evening.

Thanks everyone for the replies! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm starting to like the body style on this better than my '89, it just has that "look", know what I mean?

RBuffordTJ - I hope Fay doesn't gain any strength as she heads towards south Florida. As of this moment it looks like she'll come ashore as a Tropical storm.
