Great truck, NO RUST...i mean zero, none...not on frame, not on fuel lines, not on brake lines, not on axles...none. never bondo'd or damaged. I flew out to find the perfect Bronco 2 months ago, then got a DUI 2 weeks ago, I need to sell it now to pay for my my fines. This totally sucks but I must sell it. NO RESERVE...i have to sell it. You will not find another 1980-1986 Bronco in this kind of rust free and undamaged condition in michigan unless its priced at about $7+. Its not perfect as far as some little things go...but the chassis and body and in amazing shape, and is reliable and dependable. Starts up great everytime, runs great, no leaks, idles great, pedal is a bit low but brakes real good, shifts great. 4x4 works (manual 4x4), Edelbrock intake, Holly Carb, I drove it back from Arizona a month ago. It has 9" rear and Dana 44 front axle. 4:10 gears. Does not smoke or leak oil. It can be purchased and driven any distance home - it made the trip from Arizona 2100 miles with no mechanical issues doing abotu 60-70mph the whole way. Tires have about 1/4" of tread left. Original A/C truck with all equipment still on it - just have the compressor belt off it. I never used it but was told its all in working condition before I left Arizona with it 2 months ago. Factory Tachometer but is workng intermitantly. Was painted brown (originally brown also). Has a few add ons, fog lights, push bar, visors, back up fog lights. Not working - Blower fan (heater/AC fan), drivers window stopped working on drive back from Arizona, i took the door panel off - the motor runs but the gear must have broke - easy fix, rear window switch on dash works intermitantly - goes down with key in tail gate fine. Really do not want to ship it...i would prefer the buyer show up and make sure they are happy and then drive it home. If it ships, its a done deal. I will not accept a check or anything, only cash into my account, cash in person, or a bank transfer. Please ask me any and all questions. Listing ends Sunday at 11pm Eastern time...dont miss it. ..The gas gauge works fine. It has flowmaster mufflers and newer exhaust on it. The brake pedal is a little low but doesnt have a problem stopping. It sits completely level. Interior panels make some rattling when driving over bumps. It does have cruise control option, but it is not hooked up. It also has a rollbar installed in it. Hope this all helps. On Sep-16-13 at 04:29:11 PDT, seller added the following information: Additionally, it has 167k miles, not 67k. not trying to fool anyone there. Reports on the carfax confirm this. I will not be ending the listing early - I must sell it. Please do not bid if you are not set up to pay for it within 7 days, I need the money to pay my mortgage with. Payment by cash in person is prefered at pick up. 2nd alternative is bank to bank transfer if you must have it shipped - i will not arrange any sort of shipping, if you want it shipped - you will need to arrange it. i will not accept any sort of check or money order to avoid any kind of fraud. I have heard too many stories of checks/money orders later becoming reversed. You are welcome to come see it in person before bidding on it. Hope this helps. On Sep-17-13 at 19:21:08 PDT, seller added the following information: I do not have a "number" i want to sell it for. I do now want to sell it. I do not want to deal with the hassle of negotiation and all that crap. It will sell to the highest bidder and I want it done quick and easy. I am not accepting check or money orders of any kind. I will only accept CASH at pick up...or if you must have it shipped, you must deposit cash into my Chase bank account - CASH DEPOSIT ONLY - I WILL NOT ACCEPT A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER OF ANY KIND BEING DEPOSITED. I will accept a bank to bank wire transfer if you must. I do not want to deal with any fraudulent checks or money orders. I prefer CASH at pick up...so you can come check it out...see that I have represented it to be what it is...a totally rust free - and i mean totally rust free as in ARIZONA RUST FREE...NOT michigan "rust free" were it is clean but still has rust and bondo in places...there is not bondo'd up rust of any sort. it starts right up...runs good and drives good. it is NOT perfect so please do not expect a perfect bronco regarding interior, paint and such. Please look at the pictures well and ask all questions. And finally...there is no lein on it. You can go to Arizona DOT and check yourself or message me and i will send you a photo of the screen or I can email you the report I paid for myself - it cost 1.50 to check it on ADOT. thanks a lot...truck is going to the highest bidder, I will not be ending it early for any offers. I just want it to sell and not have to deal with people saying its only worth this much or that...I just want to let it go and use the money as i need it. thanks so much. hope you appreciate this addition.On Sep-19-13 at 06:02:36 PDT, seller added the following information: I will NOT end the auction for any reason. last time i ended it because it was not showing up in searches so it was not getting any exposure. i had tried searching for it myself and wasnt finding it. it wasnt showing up when i searched bronco, and wasnt showing up in the bronco section. I had called ebay and they said that they had been having some issues with this in some sections with vehicles listed when i listed it. So they refunded me and ended it for me. i just now relisted it because i was out of town for short time and did not want to be un-available for it being picked up. This is a real good one. i had no intentions of selling it...it was the one i wanted...a 80-86 and tottally rust free. I did not care much about anything else...just that it be 100% rust free - thats why i went to Arizona to find one. this one spent its whole life in arizona, has the 351 and runs and drives good. its not perfect but was perfect for me to have and drive and then restore in years to come.Hope this helps. It still has the arizona title, completely free/clear and notorized.
