The value of old SUVs has continued to climb since we first started noticing this trend years ago. I'm convinced that in the not-too-distant future, anything with four-wheel drive that looks vaguely rugged will be selling for too much money. A year ago I would have said “except for the Bronco II,” but now I'm not so sure. 

In southern California, which leads the charge on overpricing used cars, first-generation Ford Broncos, Series Land Rovers and all Toyota Land Cruisers are all expensive enough to make your eyeballs explode at this point. K5 Chevy Blazers are not too far behind. Jeeps are still affordable by virtue of having been built in such great quantities, and Scouts are just too crappy to catch the eyes of collectors. Range Rover Classics are also well within most people's means to buy, as long as you're prepared to look after them.

As “traditionally” vintage trucks get rarer, new classics like Jeep Cherokee XJs and “OJ-style” Broncos have been creeping up in price, too. Let's keep it focused on the Fords for now...

I always thought the Bronco II was a nice looking truck with albeit somewhat awkward dimensions

I think cool is a personal preference, IMO it's better that the collectors stay away so the true enthusiasts can actually afford the models they like!

My wife had a Bronco II she bought new in 1985 that we kept until 1994 when she bought her first Explorer Sport. I liked it, with a 5 spd it was a fun truck to drive.

I have a buddy that is on the constant search for Bronco II's that are strait and rust free. His last one was a 4x4 that went about 400K with at least 2 transplant engines. His current daily driver is a very used 2wd.

He got one from out west that had about 100k on it last spring. He has rebuilt the engine and transmission and had it painted inside and out. He is currently putting a new wiring harness in it and should have it finished in the next 6 months.
