I immediately recognized those orange awnings. That's about 10 minutes from my office if I hit traffic.

Collins Brothers - they have a bit of fever when selling TJs and other jeeps. They do tend to find some real gems but they also get top $ for them. This Bronco in the E-bay auction needs lots of TLC. Before COVID I used to travel to TX since the company I work for has their headquarters there.

That body is toast.

Yeah you would need to fork for a new fiberglass body. Not sure if anyone is making steel replacement bodies. I know that few years back there was company that bought or licensed the older mustang bodies and was building steel replacement bodies. Restoring this baby would require some serious dinero.

Actually you can pretty much build an Early Bronco now days from the ground up. If you ever spent any time at classicbroncos.com you can find just about anything you need, frames, engines, body parts, etc. Plus there is a huge aftermarket available using OEM stampings and reproduction parts. Dennis Carpenter even has Fords’ backing to sell NOS and officially licensed “Ford” branded parts.

Seat looks comfy

Well at least one of the doors is frameless!

 

[Rednek]

wow it comes with washout interior and active drains! Is it cactus grey also?

 

[mds5917]

Well, this should shut down the "I can't stand the Camo/Navy Pier/Bronze Dash/Orange Accents/whatever complaints about the current interiors...

Nevermind. I know better. At least it appears that this one comes with both washout drains and cooling seats.

There are actually two companies in your neck of the woods ( meaning California) that reproduce bodies for about $10,000 depends if you want doors or no doors, you definitely don't want to fiberglass body anymore, that's so 80s, and they're pretty much garbage I only know that because I have one it came with one of my broncos.

Uh, yeah... looks like it went down with the Titanic. That's what you call FUGLY.
I previously did a frame off restore of a '58 Jeep Willys and now know the work (and expense) a "project" like that can take. I'd sooner poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick.
