So I was browsing the auto trader web site and came across this 1986 Eddie Bauer Bronco 86 Bronco Now i talked to the guy via email who lives 3 miles from me. He says he bought it with a blown motor so he put a 302 ** mustang motor in it. 3 weeks of driving and the tranny let go. After he replaced that an got it working he bought a mustang. His wife told him one has to go. He chose the Bronco. He says he will let it go for 2700. What do you guys think?

I have some more pictures but for some reason they wont upload

Looks good to me. Kinda looks like the transfer case is leaking though

 

[Gunner]

How did I know you would be the first to reply? lol. I asked about the leak and he said it isnt from that truck.

 

[Yardape]

Oh course not. LOL. Are you saying I have no life?

Did they retain the efi when they put the mustang engine in?

 

[Gunner]

pictures of the engine bay sure look like it.

 

[Yardape]

I wonder what they did for the firing order

 

[Gunner]

No idea all i know is it works and the pictures show that it was thrown together. THe wires are runn all over the engine bay. Looks almost as bad as my 82 did and that was carbbed

 

[Yardape]

LOL, I like that bodystyle, thats the real Bigfoot to me

I would drive 3 miles to buy that before I dorve 500 miles to buy mine if that's any concellation. I see some rust on the lower rear quearter, but hey the thing is 20 years old. I would definitely get up under it and have a good look at the floor pan first. If that rear quearter is rusting I would take a really good look at the bottom of the tailgate and the roof cap seals to see what condition they are in.

 

[Gunner]

Oh yeah he isnt trying to hid anything from me. He straight out told me that the thing has the bronco rust. The wheel wells aint bad and nether is the tail gate but the rust is still htere. Man my 82 had what i liked to call extra ventilation in the wheel wells and tailgate.

My 86 isnt bad rust wise except for the apron under the grill, with a six and a 4spd I paid 2500.00 for mine. Then again I bought mine from a mr. magoo when it comes to cars. At the dealer every 3k needed or not!!

The body looks good, as does the paint, from the pics. It might be worth $3K if nothing major is wrong , like a bad rear axle. JSM84

I think you have to swap the computer with the engine.

 

[Yardape]

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I am looking for info for a future swap. Have been wondering for awhile. Thinking maybe a 351w computer might work

 

[Gunner]

I aint paying 3000 for that. He said he will take 2700 so i am sure 2500 cash will fly.
