Let’s face it, the SUV was around in one form or another since the automotive beginning. However, the incarnations which are dominating our roads today are a far cry from the utilitarian purpose for which they were originally built. Now I don’t normally look for old trucks in my constant searching for vehicles, however, I stumbled across an ad for a herd of Ford Broncos that may just be someone’s ticket to take some wild horses down to the restoration rodeo. Found in Colchester, Vermont here on Craigslist, you will get 8 Broncos listed for a $15,000 price tag.

The ad is short on words, but it more than makes up for in photos of the vehicles in question. Admittedly the seller realizes they are what they are, and nothing more. Clearly, the ad states that there is no interest in parting them out, and they must be sold as a package. Clearly they have been sitting a long time, and moving them will be a logistical nightmare, however, the number of parts may make it a worthwhile investment. More than one are nothing more than parts donors, and the chances are most have already been cannibalized in one form or another. No interior shots are shown and likely the insides are just as rough as the exteriors. There may even be some resident rodents that will have to be given their eviction notices on moving day.

The seller notes that the orange Bronco is probably the best restoration candidate. Any prospective buyer would have to make that decision themselves though, and as evidenced in the photos, everything is going to need to be gone through and repaired. At least there are seven other donors to pick parts from, including six V8 engines. No doubt that they will all have to be rebuilt as well, even though all ran when originally bought…don’t they all!

This will definitely be a labor of love for whoever buys this lot of Broncos. The cost of moving all of them will have to be heavily weighed on top of the $15K asking price. Take a look at all the pictures the seller provides. Hopefully, someone will find a use for them. Maybe at least one of them will be rumbling along the broken trails these vehicles were built for before too long. Is your stable big enough to hold these Broncos, or should they just be put out to pasture?
