I saw this local ad, but it sold very quickly (and probably way too cheap). How much do you suppose this may be worth?BRAND NEW 1972 Ford Bronco ***SOLD*** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Truck has never been used, It has been sitting in a warehouse, since coming out of the factory. It has no km's yet, come put some on.
Its white, auto 8 cylinders. Make me an offer. Sorry, thanks for all the replys I cant get back to them all, It has been sold.

If it was mint with no miles,I would say ~$15,000.

ONE HELLVA FIND I'D SAY!!  At first, I'd say 15K$ is cheap, but then considering that it has probably not been fired since '72, (that's 34yrs!! :eek  that's probably a good number..... Eventhough it was kept inside, I'd say there MUST/WILL BE rust inside the engine, trans, rearend from sitting 34yrs! Other than ALL fluids, battery, tires, belts, how far/much would you guys go through? Ryan

I'd have to do a close inspection on the brakes,and pressure test the cooling system. I'd bet the axle seals and pinion seals would leak after a while of driving it too. Hard to say without looking at it up close.

You guys would DRIVE it? I'd say to a collector it'd be worth maybe $50,000. Restored Broncos often fetch $20,000. The fact it's never driven certainly doesn't devalue it. Call it New Old Stock and judging by what NOS items sell for compared to good used it's a gold mine. I heard rumor it went for $5000.

I'd say 5K$ was WAY CHEAP!  Yeah, I'd drive it! But then I'm not a collector either. Nor do I think I would give 50K$ for it if I was a collector! I hear what you're saying about stripping it down and selling off all the NOS parts and make more $$, and I know some folks do it - but I think that it would be kinda cannibalistic to do that to such a NOS vehicle! I guess I'd rather see it stay whole and be driven & taken to shows/cruises than to disappear off into a thousand UPS boxes. I don't have a problem parting out a wrecked or blown up car/truck, but that '72 had to be way too NICE! Just my 2 cents,

I'm with you,Ryan. Keep it together,and enjoy it for what it is. There's no sense in parting it out,but it shouldn't be a trailer queen either. Too many of them around. That doesn't mean I would go bogging with it.

I sure wouldn't suggest parting it out I was just comparing NOS parts prices with NOS car prices. I think being new would triple the value over a restored or clean used Bronco. As soon as it's driven it's just another clean low mileage used truck.
