Like several of us…ok, many of us…I really love the early Ford Broncos, especially those that haven’t been carved up or rusted away. This almost stock 1967 model pushes a lot of my buttons, especially with these great period colors! It’s located in Marshall, Illinois (hmmm, I’m currently in an airport waiting to fly to the Midwest–maybe I could drive home!) and is listed for sale here on eBay, where I’m sure bidding will rise from the opening bid of $2,500.

The seller maintains that the biggest problem with this vehicle is responding to all the attention it receives–the thumbs up, honking and waving! The stated reason for selling is that the owner’s daughter is getting ready to attend college and that she’s prettier than the Bronco. My only comment on that is that she must be a real knockout!

Just look at that shine! The seller doesn’t mention any rust or filler, and I can’t detect any from the pictures, but it might be worth the question anyway. As always with a vehicle that has potentially been off-road, I’d like to see some undercar pictures as well. That being said, this one is equipped just the way I’d like it, with a 289 V8, three speed and no power options (less to break).

I’m pleased to report that the rear is just as nice as the front. I’m not too sure I’d leave the surfboard decal, but hey, maybe there’s a case for that too. I’m guessing this isn’t original paint and chrome, but it sure looks terrific in these pictures.

There’s some more personalized touches on the inside as well. I’d at least like to know the story behind them before making any decisions one way or the other about keeping them. I love the plainness of these honest vehicles, though.

I think I would try to source an original air cleaner and paint the header tank, but otherwise I’d leave well enough alone under here. A 289 is plenty of power for this vehicle, and you won’t be breaking any speed records with it anyway. The seller includes one picture of it with the top off, which is the way I’d want to drive it whenever possible, anyway! While I’m pretty sure it’s not a survivor, it does look the part, doesn’t it? So–what do you think it’s worth, and should I make a detour on my trip?
