So I'm really on the fence about buying this with my 1st night reservation without ever sitting in one at least. Also i'm considering selling my "72" that was ordered by my father when i was 4 and given to me at 16. I have kept it in a warehouse since i quit driving it in the 90's. Anyone have any advice?

The only decent thing to do is cancel your reservation and donate the '72 to charity.

I'll be happy to forward the info on my brand new 501(c). I'll take really good care of it.

Keep the '72 and get a new one. You only live once.
Given the choice, if it is one for you, get the '72 restored, updated and drive it. But I'm old and sentimental...

Please, dont sell your ‘72. You will regret that forever. Every old Mustang I sold that I owned I miss and wish I had back. My ‘68 GT 390 is gone forever and the prices have gone so high I cant buy another. Thats a pile of regret right there.

Thanks for the input. I think restoring my 72 to my desires now would cost as much as the 4 door badlands i have reserved.

Does anyone else have the problem that everytime i go on the b&p i add more options so the price keep going up?
I don't. Going base, so not many options for me. On a budget. Something I want, not something I need. Won't live long enough to have it appreciate after year 1, after which they all will comparatively drop like a rock. If I had a '72 in my back pocket, I would have no question as to what I'd do...

A fully-restored 72 would be valued around the same or more than your 21 Badlands, but would be worth even more to you given its history. Many years from now, you could be the cool old guy at the car show with 1972 and 2021 Broncos. Might be a nice retirement hobby.

That sounds good if they had a true green color with white top

Maybe i should wait for a "22". They could have green by then and i'd have 2 50 years apart. Btw fyi my dad ordered mine , it took 6 weeks and was $4200 out the door. 302, dana 44. ???

I'd have trouble selling a car my father bought brand new, let alone a 72 Bronco. Keep it, depending on it's condition either get it running/driving and enjoy or go all out on a full resto to bone stock exactly how your father ordered it.
