Cool find. Needs a bit work here and there, but overall pretty nice. Appears to be very low mileage unless the odometer has rolled over.

I find it fun when I have extra time to browse through the BAT listings. I always find lots of really neat vehicles.

I'm a sucker for bullnose Fords.

Just found this in the No Reserve section...

Same. Bull Nose, Brick Nose and Aero OBS all have a special place in my heart.

I still haven't warmed up to the Brick Nose, but I bet I will as more modern updates become available for them. I do like their interiors though.

Geez it seems like yesterday these things were littered all over the place for $800. You'd stop to look at it, pop the hood and on the air cleaner it would say 351 H.O, then you'd admire the 34 miles of vacuum hose's carelessly routed by the UAW's finest. If you got running right making all 190 hp you might even see 10 or 11 mpgs.

I do like this era Ford. The 1st vehicle I ever drove was my dad's 1983 F-250 6.9 with a 4-spd. Two tone brown with a beige inset.

There is a reason those was made only a few years before going to the 1992 refresh. It has to do with that whole 4X4 and EFI badge at the front to make just those 2 pin holes to attach those in the die. It cost Ford almost 100 million dollars per hole!!!! After all the work my uncle and the other die tech team and to bring it out. This was when a truck was only around $8,000 (base) to bring out.

24k miles is insane.
Should go for a nice price

Hoping to start our Bronco project next year.

Do you know what the mileage is on that one?

 

[CobraBob]

That Bronco is at $15,251 with 2 days left. I know it will go up, but I expected more action on this one at this point. I think the price has sat there for a couple of days now.

The dealership selling it is local to me. Might have to stop by and take a look.

The odometer has rolled over. It says so under the fifth pic. "The dealer notes the odometer has rolled over. Total mileage is unknown."

Manual swaps are easy in those...

Odometer reads 24k right now, doesn't say if it rolled over.

I didn't know what TMU was, thanks!

Ah thanks, missed that the first time.
