CL Bronco Posting

I understand that what your asking price vs. what you actually get may vary a little but is it just me or is this EB priced a little high?

Yeah, that seems way high priced. A very nice machine tho!!

Maybe it's just me, but builds like this don't impress.

Yes it is shiny, yes it makes lots of power, but that person is charging a lot of money for a vehicle that rides and drives basically just the way it did in 1968.

For $60k, I would want something that outperforms the original design in power, economy, handling, ride, fit/finish and safety.

But that's just me.

IDK, but personally, I don't like the wave of leather seat, modern amenity, giant motor Broncos coming out. Not that this is exactly a good representation of that, but close. I guess I still want my Bronco to look like a Bronco. If I'm going to spend $60k, I'll get something actually modern, or an original/restored collectible that is really worth $60k. It's good for those who are keeping Broncos stock, because there will be less original or restored to original when (if) the market turns. I still find it strange, but somewhat understandable, that modded, daily drivers are fetching more than original trucks.

Sorry, sort of off topic. But yeah, that's a lot of money for that truck.

If the HP and torque numbers are true what RPM are they at?
Seems awfully high for a 302.
