1974 Bronco

[scherp69]

My wife has had a 1974 Bronco for years and is finally ready to sell it. It was her first husband's truck (he's deceased). A friend of mine was over today looking at it and basically offered us $5000 for it. Just trying to get an idea as to what it's worth. The truck has sat for 18 years (last insurance sticker was 1996).

It has a removable top. 351 Windsor with a 3 speed auto. Nothing really fancy about it and is fairly stock from what I can see. Before it was parked, it was rebuilt with new paint, motor done, etc. Of course since it's been sitting for so long, every seal will need to be replaced, the tranny and motor will need to be pulled, brakes, new tires, etc. When I put trans fluid in, it leaks out shortly after so the trans will need some work. The brakes will all need to be done. So there's a lot of work that it will need to make it safe to drive. He got underneath it and could only find one spot where the rust has come through. He said it looks like all if the regular spots that rust have been fixed or replaced. The truck was stored inside a garage for years, until I moved it out and took over the shop. It's always covered from the elements. So what do you guys think, is $5k a fair price considering what it needs to get it running. Here's some pics
