Junkyard 1987 Bronco For $800 Scrap/Parts? or Will It Run and Drive? NNKH

[@itsmephil2255]

So 2 things about Chris.... 1. He can tell the psi of fuel just by touching it... 2. He is easily distracted by trains 😂😂😂 Love it Chris 😂😂😂

[@andytaylor1588]

3. He drives very quickly for having zero brakes. 🤣

[@itsmephil2255]

@andytaylor1588 that as well 😂

[@Truckman1980]

Love your videos Chris! Those little 302s are great! I don't think you paid too much at all

[@ImSrry4BeingWhite]

And his favorite movie is life stinks

[@jordananderson8299]

He also apparently likes bugs because he doesn't kill them but he shows them to us on video like the stinkbug at 1:51, I like bugs too especially spiders

[@merqury5]

I hope your videos stays like this even if you get filthy rich from doing this. It's like experiencing it through your eyes. Absolutely love this channel. And congratulations on your lovely family. Hang in there.

ABSOLUTELY. Stay the same, Chris

He's been raking in the cash hand over fist for a couple years now and hasn't changed.

[@glennwilck5459]

As an aspiring mechanic who works on all my own vehicles I must say I love your videos for the simple tips and tricks you help share really no nonsense and overflowing know how thanks so much for your awesome commitment to saving these old vehicles that most wouldn't bother with!

[@heofthesquarebum]

Loving the frequent videos Chris! I am recovering from what should have been a straightforward procedure that sent me into cardiac arrest on the operating table. The body is healing but the mind will take a while to get over needing CPR, etc. Your videos are helping to keep those demons at bay.

Definitely worth the $800! The 80-96 broncos are absolutely killer off-road in bone stock form. I was really hoping to see you get it back to daily driver status and do some off-roading.

[@cmhowe7656]

My first car was a 1984 bronco, with a 4 speed manual transmission. That thing was like a rolling living room, so many good times!!! I will always love those old broncos! Thanks Chris

[@MastaT_150]

YAY A BRONCO! I enjoy watching you mess with anything. An 88 Bronco was my first vehicle so I’m very familiar with those things. Honestly for being a Jersey truck I would have expected worse rust because they rusted pretty bad. I’m from Pittsburgh so I see similar. Your right they never made 2wd full size bronco in the US.

[@bryanewing5058]

Dude…kids change everything. I’m just glad you’re still making videos. Things get easier once the baby will sleep through most or all of the night. But…you may never sleep the same again. Lol. Great video. Thanks!

[@johndevries76983]

That round chroom thing is the ring for the spare tire on the backdoor ,there was a plastic plate in so you protected the spare and it looks nice

[@gerry-p9x]

Watch opening rear window and dropping hate prob rusted tracks and mechanism on window and door latched seized

[@CoIoneIPanic]

I always thought TPS report was an Office Space meme but NKNH proves it's real and yeah just disconnect it to fix your engine issue. Once again this guy's mechanical genius humbles me. Absolute favorite KZbinr. And yeah that Bronco was a steal for $800. Replace the U-joint, sort the circuitry issue with the 4 wheel engagement and you got yourself a poor man's range rover. Those rigs are underrated because they were everywhere. But now not so much.

[@backlineguy]

working on the brake hose, and suddenly...."I think I hear a train coming..." and drone shot of a Norfolk Southern power unit emerging from the tree-lined roadbed...you are a man after my own heart, and my Dad would have enjoyed your channel as well...thanks man. Best to Jen and the Papoochka...

[@joeskorbinhorbinchuk3286]

A 429 ThunderChicken!! I used to have a '67 Tbird with the 390. If you're going to work on it, make sure you bring a spool of vacuum hose. There's a nipple on the back of the carbeuretor riser plate that often breaks off, drove me crazy trying to tune it before I found the vacuum leak. Some of your vacuum features are the hide-away headlights, tilt-away steering column when you open the door, and a rear window fresh air vent. Awesome car, like you're floating on the highway. Should be worth 3k at least.

[@donaldjordan8989]

Amazes me how you find the nerve to fire something like that up and drive it down the road and into the woods alone hoping it doesn't break down. Courage, I love it. Always entertaining videos. Long time subscriber.

[@toddundy]

Chris totally cracks me up. He was mentioning how he jumps from one thing to the next but just then he saw the Eddie Bauer badge and was like ooh look, Eddie Bauer edition! Late 80s Broncos are awesome. Good to see him taking this on!

Don't pay attention to the negative comments. Your videos are great. 👍

[@davidroberson1962]

It is rough. I'm on my 3rd(1st was adopted at 5) and at 43 with a 9 month old I feel pretty tired. However, as I lay here with her passed out on me wasting my day off it makes me feel panic that she is going to grow up. When she sees me she just smiles so big. She will always love me but it won't always be this pure if you know what I mean. Seeing that little smile of pure joy just feels me with.. uh.. rage. lol. I used to be that happy. The world is pretty dumb and watching her happiness while she doesn't know better is probably the closest I'll ever get again. lol

[@SSO1025RET]

Hope the baby is well. My 1st grandchild was born on October 2 and if I’m right, your baby was born around the same time. Glad you’re still finding times to make the videos. Thank you and congratulations.

[@mattparoz4246]

37:38 I’m 52 and father of triplets here (They turn 21 in December). Mate, kids are hard work regardless how many you have. Your doin a good job and savour every moment cause time flies. The only advice i offer is don’t be too quick to “make” her sleep through the night. Lil’miss needs her regular feeds and It’ll be tough, but by about 9 months she should be chunky enough for an all-nighter. 🇦🇺🤙🏼

[@hawaiianborn1503]

Love your videos, Just pulled out a 92 Subaru Forester out the bushes that's been there couple years molded out rat nests all in the motor, Everyone was like throw it away, fuel pump didn't work, pulled it, power probed it in reverse and it worked, reinstalled, it got it started, Threw away all the rubbish inside, cleaned it inside and out, Car wash with wax, Now everyone was jaw dropped when I got done with it, looks new again, break rotors gone and no papers, So I'm not putting and more money in it till I find the papers(TITLE) Owner left it to a friend while she left for the mainland, and he ran it into the ground in Hawaii, What a friend to do that to a friends car. Now she owes me cash for fixing it.😂😂😂

[@Alsol-lr7tr]

I had an 89 and a 95 Bronco. They were great! Don't step on the roof of a brand new Bronco, you will fall through! This old one is tougher than your RAV4 and you can modify them at will!

[@Acelachaser1965]

As the owner of a 95 “only need a starter” F150, I approve this video! 😄 That Bronco fixed up in the south, you could just add another zero to the back of that original price and you would get it. They range anywhere from $4000 to $12,000 right now. Just that good interior could bring you a minimum $500 . Babies are a handful, but they are also very fun. Enjoy it! She’ll be a teenager before you know it! And I know a family that’s got two sets of triplets, oldest daughter and youngest son each had triplets!

Love the videos! I’m from Australia and just wanted to say I love the videos! Some really really great information and new things to learn and understand! I’m only young being 22 but it’s great to see some different vehicles to what’s over here in Aus but nonetheless, nice to see something new and different! I’ve been watching for a while now and I reckon I’ve almost seen every video with it being such a vast range of different things and just being down right entertaining to watch! Love the will it run videos as well, amazing to see just how you get vehicles to run whether it’s a car, truck or a tractor it’s all entertaining and a lot of fun to watch!Also congrats on the little one!

[@Penpalinflorida]

Yes, as a father of 4, kids are a LOT of work. Definitely worth it and it makes us appreciate what our parents went through. Keep making these videos as I watch them religiously. Growing up in the 70's, my friends and I worked on our cars ourselves. Easy to do and could not afford a mechanic anyway. My favorite car was a 1969 Nova. Rusted out to the hilt but the 250 six ran great. Paid $130 for it in 1978.

[@heliarche]

I bought a running driving 89 Bronco with a plow for $1600. It's rotted out horribly. I bought it only because the tailgate was solid and complete. The previous owner was getting inundated with messages about that aluminum panel on the tailgate. Would he sell just that. He wanted rid of the entire thing but people were offering good money for just that aluminum thing. The one I bought for parts paid me back just with the tailgate. I sold the entire plow rig for $300. I ended up using the engine from it as well. Turns out it was freshly overhauled. Bored to .030" over on the cylinders, new everything. Fresh out of the shop. Then all the other little parts I've picked from it over the years, it's been a life saver. Yours for $800 fairly complete and not looking bad at all, that's a hell of a deal. Around here, even with the rot underneath and the front U joints, $1200 is a great deal especially for someone like me. I daily mine and I'm trying to keep it going as long as I can. For me that's a gold mine. And a title. It would never see the road again for me but that it has a title might mean something to someone else.

[@jordanmosley3447]

Dude are you kidding !!! Wow a Bronco!!!! I love it America s we're built by Ford hope you keep it 💯

[@buckjank]

Very awesome.I drive a 1990 f150 with the 300, and it has 425k. I bought it new in 1991 when I was 16. It was my first car. It has the OG engine and transmission. However, I have deleted the car, smog pump, charcoal can, and about 75% of the vacuum lines. The AC is still cold, and I drive it 50 miles a day roundtrip to work. The best thing about old Ford trucks is that the parts are dirty, cheap, and abundant.

I have owned 5 of these over the years and still love them. Better than any jeep for a fun runner.

Highly recommend adding the relay headlight harness from Bronco Graveyard if you hang onto it. All the light current runs thru the headlight switch and burns it up

[@MikeyDee25]

Chris, hang in there with the new baby - she'll be big in no time and you'll wonder where the time went. I can only imagine the model RR layout you could build if you put your mind to do it! Preferably HO, but N gauge would fit in a tight space as well! Train around the tree from now on!

In the 80's I was working at a Ford dealership a bunch of guy's were going 4 wheeling . The owners son took out a brand new Bronco when we got to the trails we took the roof off. At the end of the day we went back to get it and someone had stolen it. It poured rain all the way home needless to say his father was not happy.

[@gregshelton8118]

I've owned a 76 Bronco that I sold prior to my service years then later bought a 95 Eddie Bauer that with it's 5.0 liter towed a 6000lb 30 foot walkaround boat from Florida to WA State. That 5.0 handled it really well although I had to keep the speeds normal due to the short wheelbase towing that big of a boat. (Weight wise within that 95's tow capacity. Prior to the tow job the 95 spent about a year in the Bahamas before being shipped back to Florida and the big move to the west. I only parted with the 95 with it's bench seat behind the two buckets as it was tough to setup the kids carseats and I migrated to a supercrew. I wish I had never parted with the 76. Keep up the good work fixing things Chris..

[@harleyshihtzu5558]

Definitely has value and huge potential. I would not sell for under $1800. The TBird 429 is in my opinion worth approximately $3500 - possibly more if it runs and drives. The hide away headlights are a very desirable feature that could also add value if functionality is correct.
