Looking for value range for 85 Bronco II

[jbbarrus]

I have a 1985 Bronco II, 2.8l v6, 4wd, and lifted. I've gotten it running pretty well, but discovered that 3 of the 4 fenders have rusted through. I've included pictures below. I was going to fix it up for my 16 year old son, but we've decided that it is too much work than we want to take on. It has a new clutch, new distributor cap, spark plug wires (silicone NKG), spark plugs, fuel filter and a new carburetor.

I'm looking for a value that I can start at to get a fair deal in selling it. Any ideas?

Pictures below.






Thanks,

John

I wish I had better news for you - I paid $1000 for my 85 5-speeed 4wd, not lifted but no rust. It was running, but has benefited from the Duraspark conversion.

Front fenders aren't that bad to replace. Unless you just want to get rid of it. But for a 16 year old, let him drive it as is.

It would likely be cheaper to fix the fenders than to sell&buy nicer.

Isn't it also a rite of passage to have to bondo up your first vehicle too? Give the kid a bucket of cheese and a grater and have him get at it.
