Whasssssssssssup? 1986 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer Edition

Whassssssssssup.  Whazzzzzzzup? WHaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzUUUUUUUUUP!!!  If you remember those inane Budweiser whassup commercials from the late 90s/early 2000s...then I'm sorry I had to bring it up, but I've got an important point to make.  Do you also remember those inane Eddie Bauer Edition packages sold on Fords starting in the mid 1980s and ending (mercifully) in 2010...because the whasssssup branding and the Eddie Bauer nonsense were similarly meaningless, but each a marketing triumph by their parent companies.  At the end of the day, we all purchased more Bud and Fords...right?  But in hindsight...what were they thinking? Neither made sense any more at the time than they do now.  Find this 1986 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer Edition offered for $12,500 here on eBay buy-it-now located in Macomb, MI with a few hours to go.

Mid Week Match-Up: An Off-Roader For The Mexican 1000

Today's Mid Week Match-Up comes from Ropey who writes: So this is the deal. I want to do the Mexican 1000. Not the Baja 1000, but the ostensibly vintage version of the race put on by NORRA in April. To some extent, I don't care what I do it in ... a Baja bug, rail, truck, rally car any thing as long as it's old school and cool and street legal. And not a Bronco. Don't care about winning anything (until the green flag drops), but would rather not drag my car all the way down to Mexico to spend three days trying to fix it by the side of the track, so it needs to be non-fragile. Lets spend as little as possible, say $10k, or up to $15k for something really stand out. $20k tops. See how my usual car buying process goes ...? Oh, I'm in the PNW, so something west coast would be convenient.

5k: Heavy Fuel: 1985 Ford Bronco 6.9 Diesel Power

The third generation Ford Bronco dates from the time when the Bronco was a plus sized SUV (only the first generation '66-'77 were compact) that used the F-series truck chassis and competed with Chevy's Blazer and Chrysler's Dodge Ramcharger.  Oddly enough all three of these dinosaurs are now extict, only to be found as fossils in desert communities...but that shouldn't stop you from considering one if you need a giant 4X4.  Find this  1985 Ford Bronco with 6.9 Ford Diesel Power offered here on craigslist for $6,500 in Yucca, AZ.  Tip from FuelTruck.

5k: Uncut: 1966 Ford Bronco 4X4

The first generation Bronco was released in 1966 on the heels of Ford's recent ultra successful Mustang launch.  Whereas the Mustang was hastily built on the existing Falcon chassis, the Bronco was an entirely new platform and only shared its engines/trannys with the rest of Ford's product line.  The Bronco took the off-roader and tailored it for family use as the blue oval's competitor to the Jeep CJ and International Harvester Scout.  Throughout the years, many Broncos have been hacked up by guys bent on climbing higher mountains and precious few remain in original condition.  Find this 1966 Ford Bronco currently bidding for $6,700 with a few hours to go on ebay, located in Las Vegas, NV.

5k: Honest Fun: 1967 Ford Bronco

The first generation Ford Bronco was released in 1966 on the heels of the ultra successful Mustang.  While the Mustang shared its oily bits with the Falcon, the Bronco was built on an entirely new platform and only shared its engines/trannys with the rest of Ford's product line.  Similarly where the Mustang took the sports car concept and merged it with a family sedan, the Bronco took the off-roader and tailored it for family use.

1k: Train Wreck: 1967 Ford Bronco

The Ford Bronco was launched in 1967 as a competitor to the Jeep CJ-5 and International Harvester Scout.  The Bronco was an entire blank sheet of paper design and as much more modern than any of its competition and available with Ford's Windsor V8.  Today's featured Bronco is the most beaten up Bronco we've seen since...well...last night in Super Bowl XLVIII.  Find this 1967 Ford Bronco currently bidding for $1,148 in Bedford, PA via ebay.
