Had a 69 half cab bronco. Would love to have this one! I don’t know what it will bring in this economy. A few years ago this would go 40k easy.

I’m guessing $25 to $30. Looks solid but the aluminum corners are a dead giveaway to rust issues.

It has kick vents!

Later air filter which is a good thing and non original bucket seats which, unless you are a collector or 5' 4" tall, is also a good thing. Unfortunately, looks like they replaced the trooper seats with a bench which really cuts down on load. But yes, it looks like a really nice one.

@WAB I think your estimate is probably right for this area.

It also has the original cruise ship steering wheel (mine does as well) needed to turn the original one without power steering, much less with those oversize after markets. I couldn't count tie rods to see if power steering had been added and that after market bumper would also hide it.

I’m just finishing up a ground up rebuild on a ‘69. The one thing that caught me by surprise was the hydraulic 4WD shift system. Scared me a little but seems to work well. The 71 I rebuilt had a standard shift system.

Was that original? All the other 69's I have seen were three-speed.

It is 3 on the tree, which I am maintaining. It’s the transfer case shift that is unique on this rig. They were way ahead of their time. We contacted Cool Cruisers about it. They encouraged us to keep it original as the system is very reliable and uncommon.

Duh - 4WD - I read 4 speed. Yes mine has the same system with the pull out knob. All I can say is that it works.
