Yup. These.I’m kind of in love with this High Tide model that comes with 35” rubber and a small lift from the factory:

I saw a Bronco out & about today - forest green with retro white trim, grill, & wheels. It was sharp AF. I literally stopped and did a double-take. Never done that for a Jeep.
I used to own a jacked up Jeep with big tires and I added the brake light ring into the spare on back and it was killer!The really nice Jeeps with awesome tires and rims, sometimes the brake lights include the spare on the back, those are the ones that tend to catch my eye out here in Suffolk County.
Maybe it's different in Nassau County though. Buncha snobs up there especially on the North Shore (kidding I love it there too).

IIRC, you didn't mention the toting the family around part.Need to also fit a family of 5.If you want look at me, under $100K, top off, fun to drive, then get this instead
Maybe? I haven't seen anything with the 2-tone paint on their web page. Maybe it was custom.I saw a Bronco out & about today - forest green with retro white trim, grill, & wheels. It was sharp AF. I literally stopped and did a double-take. Never done that for a Jeep.

I've thought the same about them.
Pffft weak. At least drive an Avalon like me.You know Otis, if you buy a Camry, it's a much better investmentOtis: Looking for a fun, chopped top truck or jeep.

I’m currently driving a Camry! But Otis never listens to my advice.

Just step it up and get what no one in your neighborhood will have
Did you see the model with windows in the back? Looks like. a different vehicle, NOT an ambulance.IMO looks more the G-Wagon than a Rover.Meh. Kinda looks like a Range Rover.Grenadier stands out and we know you like that. Plus, not American-made, so that thing should last, though expensive, the maintenance.
For real, that thing looks dope. And Jeeps are overrated, over-priced and way overdone at this point. I had a couple back in the day. The newer ones seem like glorified minivans, from what I hear, though I have not owned one.
I’d look at a 4Runner if the roof came off.Jeeps are cool, hold their value for sure. I've been reading about serious reliability issues for the Bronco, which is unfortunate but probably expected for a new platform.
Don't rule out a 4Runner. Almost as capable as either of those. Much more comfortable ride for the 99% of time you aren't on a trail, and much more reliable than either. Can't go topless though.
Didn't know Jeeps hold their value THAT well. As well as Toyota? Let's see it.
Reliability for a new FORD Bronco can't be good. I'd bet money on that without ever looking it up. I have a post in that thread about being out of your mind if you buy the first year model. Or just having funny money, which, well good for you!
4Runner blows doors on all of them, all things considered, and it's not even close.

It was something like this .
We need @Otis to bid on this so we can watch the show.
But whatever you do, do not go first or even a 2nd year model of any vehicle. Who doesn't know this basic rule of thumb???
I mean come on, DUH. Which I'm on record with the Broncos (that takes an IQ of 1 I think). Go look at the thread and guess what? Smells like lemons.

Joe- here‘a my favorite. It’s largely a private sale site so the values are far more representive of the value vs Auction sites like hemmings. Plus with auctions the real cost is 8-10% higher due to fees.We need @Otis to bid on this so we can watch the show.
For these older cars and trucks that are restored, what's a good place to get an idea on value?
Some of these seem inexpensive like this https://www.hemmings.com/auction/1971-ford-bronco-476538
But then other places I see fully restored broncos for 10x that. Is there a baseline?
That's just the current bid, not what it will actually sell for.We need @Otis to bid on this so we can watch the show.

That car is awesome. Whenever I see a big 'ol convertible like that I always dream about doing a road trip in one. Then I remember i'm old and really enjoy the conveniences and driving experience of a modern car.Please tell me you put the horns on it and cruised around College Station...You're right @dkp993 that site is trouble.

No Horns. But it was pink. I sold another car for $10,000. I bought the Cadillac for $5,000. Had it painted for $250. And put a $5,000 Alpine Stereo in it. Back in 1985, that was the business. https://twitter.com/Football_Guys/status/1657139012690124800?s=20

Sorry Joe, that was supposed to be a joke, not schtick. And that was not a reply to anything you said.But whatever you do, do not go first or even a 2nd year model of any vehicle. Who doesn't know this basic rule of thumb???
I mean come on, DUH. Which I'm on record with the Broncos (that takes an IQ of 1 I think). Go look at the thread and guess what? Smells like lemons.
If you're looking for real discussion, please dial way back the "that takes an IQ of 1" shtick. Thanks.
Did someone report it as otherwise? If that doesn't look like an obvious joke, um, I'm not sure how to interact here, without being eliminated from conversations, altogether.

It was a sweet road trip car. Literally felt like you were floating down the highway.

Nobody reported it. I read it and my job is to help encourage real discussion. And sometimes part of that is asking people to please dial way back the "that takes an IQ of 1" shtick. Or jokes.
If that doesn't work for you, or you're not sure how to interact here, then we may not be the board for you.
Please let's move on now and get back to topic of Jeeps and Broncos. Thanks.
I didn't see prices. Aren't the 70's Broncos like several hundred thousand dollars?
From what I gather, you go on any of these resto mod sites, you are in Robb Report territory. This stuff is over the top, priced for the crowd who really doesn't care about price.I didn't see prices. Aren't the 70's Broncos like several hundred thousand dollars?

Meantime, you can find private sellers with selling restored models for 30 grand and up.

Thanks. I wonder about the difference. I know the ones like you linked to are just super expensive as you said. Someone sent me a restored bronco from mid 70s and it was $225,000. I'm assuming there is something there they can justify the difference between the private seller restoration. But it doesn't seem to add up. It would make more sense for the private sellers at 30k to be selling "as is" vehicles ready for restoration.
My Dad recently restored a 60's model truck and he has 125,000 in it. It's a challenge.
The difference comes down to the driving experience and what you’re looking to get out of it. A 30k 60’s/70’s Bronco (etc) will be on the original 50yr old chassis with some upgraded bits on it done by who knows. So it will drive and ride like a 70’s Bronco. The full ground up remodels have all new chassis’s (or greatly upgraded) with almost everything else new and updated all built by pros. The driving experience is vastly different. But you obviously pay for it.From what I gather, you go on any of these resto mod sites, you are in Robb Report territory.

bringatrailer.com is your ultimate authority. Sold my retromodded 1979 Scout there. Good indications of real market values of these cool old cars. A lot of it comes down to how well the restoration of the Bronco/Scout was.We need @Otis to bid on this so we can watch the show.

Otis vehicle sale: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-international-harvester-scout-ii-traveler-2/
Bought for $25k. Tinkered around with it, made some minor add-ons over the years just for fun, drove it for a few years. Sold it for more than double. HEY LOOK AT ME was off the charts with this one.
The downside was it drives like a truck from the 70s. Rough ride, squeaking, clanking, not civilized, hated taking it on the highway, limited reliability and limited use cases. Was a lot of fun and so unique, but impractical.
