Post by: GTRS Fiero on May 19, 2019, 07:04:33 pm: Why? I've driven several, but was never impressed with them. Broncos were the farm vehicles at a farm where I worked, growing up. They weren't terrible, but not as good as the Internationals or the old Blazers. The Internationals were work horses, the Blazers would go anywhere, and were fairly multi-purpose. The Broncos would get you to the tractor in the field, and carry some tools, but if you needed to traverse some rough terrain, not the vehicle to drive. The Broncos also couldn't tow much. We tore up so many, trying to tow stuff.

Even though this car has been kept inside and not exposed to the strong rays of the sun, the grills are a light blue. Not the darker color that so many of us think was the original color. The car apparently has never seen a rainy day. Beautiful.

I guess the way to tell would be to look at original pics. Perhaps ask an original owner.

Our Youth Minister has a White Bronco, identical to the Infamous OJ Simpson Bronco. He got it for that reason.

Sure. They work for snow plows, but not as well as a tractor.

Nice ones...35 thousand and up. WAY up. Much better investment than a Fiero.

Well, they weren't blue. First of all, only the exposed part is blue. If the cloth was all the same color, the part that was not exposed should also be blue. Second, some are still color-matched to the interior.
