Have a guy at work who needs to get rid of a 1986 Ford Bronco. It has four wheel drive, and supposedly has a new/rebuilt? 360 motor. The guy who is selling it bought it from his friend who used to tow a large trailer. The motor was supposedly done less than 5,000 miles ago.

Says it runs great, but it's been sitting for about a year. Before it was parked it was driven about 650 miles in one day. He says that it'll idle just fine in park, but once you put it into gear it dies unless you give it some gas. Sound like a vacuum leak?

I plan to offer between $500 and $750 for it.

What is it worth?
 
I don't know...I had a Samurai that ran for $500 and I don't think it was worth that...but then it wouldn't pass smog...:D
 
Yeah that's worth it! If it passes smog you've got a big, ugly tow vehicle and if not, you can sell it for parts and get more than a grand...
 
Sounds good for the price, Bronco`s came with 302s or 351`s. I ve never seen a 360 one unless its a transplant. My 85 was Ok but man it sucked up the gas. 33s and 4" lift with a auto and 2bbl. 8mpg.
