Selling my Early Bronco-Advice?

[midlife crisis]

I was looking on members thoughts on selling my 74EB. What venue gets results. . Auto Trader or their sister publication Old Car/Truck Trader? Other?

What is the older vehicle/Early Bronco market like?

Should I wait till after the Holidays or even Spring time?

I dont even know what price to ask. . obviously I dont want to take a major beating, but is there a chance I could break even. . or. . even consider a small profit?

The local papers classifieds are a joke. . the locals idea of antique vehicles is a worn out 79 Monte or 83 Grenada.

If I listed a Glass Bodied, convertible, 351, 4way disc Bronco- I am sure they would either 1) be confused 2) call it a Jeep or 3) List it as a Bronco II.



Should I sell all my extra parts seperately, or offer them with the truck?

I have about 19K in parts receipts, the engine was a fringe benefit from work, and of course my labor isnt included.

Do I start there & work down or ??

I honestly dont know where to begin-any thoughts are appreciated. I am looking for some input, not turn this into a classified ad.

Reason you ask? So many things happened at the same time- you could say a complete life change. The truck that once got all my time is often forgot about. Kids, careers & house builds are just the begining.

Thanks-

There is (or was) a website... www.fordtruckenthusiast(s). com... I haven't been on there for a couple years, but when I was they had a special section for Broncos. . You may have to join but it's a formality. Good luck!

First generation Bronco's are very popular, and if in good shape can bring top dollar. The 74's are one of the most sought after being that they are the last year of production for the early body style and they have many improvements over the prior years. Do a Google search on Ford Bronco and you should find enough info to keep you busy for days.

77 was the last year of the early body style and it was probably the best factory EB built. I would try it on ebay. You get the most exposure for the lowest price.

Check out this one - http://www.broncograveyard.com/us/sandsports.php - it's a good friend of mine's (there's posts on here about it from me). My brother and he built it for their masters thesis.

I saw that one up close a couple of years ago at a Bronco gathering in TN. The detail on it is amazing. I didn't know your brother helped with it. If he was there Iprobably met him. The owner is a cool guy. Very smart and talented.

Put it on Ebay, it should bring decent money. I would wait until spring. People may be a little tight with Christmas coming.
