You may have. I just bought it earlier this year.

Nice Bronco. I want another one, just not the right time.

I hear ya. There is one for sale here in West Monroe I may scoop up if it's still available at the first of the year. I'd like to buy it and make a project out of it with my nephew.

Before you buy anything from them do your research over at classicbroncos.com. I believe there was a company doing this (building Broncos and selling them) that may have had some issues with quality once the end product was received by the purchaser. It may not be those people you linked to but, you would be wise to check it out over there.

that customize 77 broncos
that being said,,, 74 and 77's are my favorite..

I'm stuck on 77's because they are my all time favorite cars.... I did some research, they can do a 77 bronco with the engine in the new f150 with the Eco boost or the new mustang engine for $29,500.... That's legit as frick

it's a disease... I had it for close to 40 years.. I thought I got rid of it, but didnt entirely... If I could get one COMPLETELY redone, as in new, I would think about it, but ive had multiple broncos and they end up costing,,, sooner or later..
Posted on 10/9/12 at 10:35 pm to Ole Geauxt
Well I am going to buy it before I have kids... I need to get something for myself!

are these a car that if done correctly can be used as an every day driver? or be considered very dependable? anyone ever own one? how much would it cost to fix one up? inquiring minds want to know
I know I'm really late to this party, but if you are okay with lots of road/engine noise, stiff ride, and very few, if any, creature comforts; then it would make a good DD. Remember, that's something you have to live with every day...and if you don't like it and decide to get rid of it, you'll be lucky to get a fraction of what you have invested in it.
I was looking at Jeep Wranglers for a DD not long ago...but realized that if I had to drive a rag-top Wrangler everyday, I'd go crazy...and the Winter would suck...as well as any long drives I'd have to make...so I didn't buy one.

Lad to have you post in my thread!
I'm honestly going for the look. I know I'll catch shot for this from some people, but I just want a classic looking car... And the 77 bronco is my dream car. I'm fine with the noise, I would have 2 door speakers in it for talk radio.. If I ever use the radio. But when I say daily driver I don't mean my only car... I have the luxury of having two cars at a young age, and I would like to have one that I really enjoy driving

if you were close to nawfeast La, i'd show you some pictures of some of mine..

If you are a few years out from doing this why not buy a beater Bronco and slowly build it yourself over the next couple of years as money allows? You would probably save alot of money by doing most of the small work yourself. Only have the professionals do stuff you can't i.e. paint, tuning, etc.

Ahh, got ya. Well that's the key...cause as downshift said, it'll get old as a DD. But if you have another vehicle to cruise around in on nasty weather days or for long commutes, then you are set. The Bronco is a classic, I love them. They do hold value decently...so they can get pricey when trying to find one to restore and then actually restoring it, but they'll turn heads everytime.
If it were me, I'd ditch the eco-boost idea...seems like that would get more expensive than that company is leading onto. Especially when you can build a decent small block for dirt cheap.
