SUMMARY

This Ford Bronco XLT is an iconic Australian-built but American brand 4×4, which has been converted to dual fuel, and is fitted with a few appealing cosmetic modifications. Like the V8 Ford Falcons, Fairlanes and LTDs from the same era, the Ford Bronco is arguably particularly collectible with fewer numbers manufactured.  It is now ready to be enjoyed, either out on the open road or as part of a classic collection.

ITEM DISCLAIMER

Important Information for Bidders/Buyers:

Please note that, as this item may be in the seller’s possession and not at you.bid’s premises, the staff at you.bid may not have physically seen or tested this item, including its features and/or functions. The details and information provided in the listing have primarily been obtained from the seller, manufacturer, or vendor, and to their knowledge, is accurate and not misleading. While every effort is made to present accurate information, we strongly advise bidders/buyers to independently verify any critical details and be satisfied before making a decision to bid. All bids are binding and, once placed, cannot be cancelled. The vehicle is sold as-is, and no warranties or guarantees are provided regarding its condition.

you.bid collects information, details, photos, and videos from the seller and conducts a certain level of due diligence during the listing process. Due to the varied locations of many items, physical inspection by you.bid is not always practical. As a result, you.bid cannot be held responsible for any errors, defects, omissions, or misrepresentations regarding the items up for auction. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own research and verify any critical details with the seller to ensure they align with their decision-making criteria.

Important Information regarding Vehicle Listings:

In most cases, vehicle descriptions are based on the seller’s visual inspection and information only. Without limiting the general scope of this disclaimer, there may be undisclosed damage, including mechanical, electrical faults, missing components, or other issues that are not visible or disclosed in the listing. Vehicles may have been stored or transported outdoors at any time and may have been exposed to weather elements such as rain or hail. Images and videos provided on the website form part of the description but must not be solely relied upon to assess condition or damage. While every effort is made in preparing this information, it is intended as a guide only, and no guarantees or warranties are offered regarding its accuracy.

Odometer/Hour Meter Readings:
Any reference to these meters reflects only the current displayed reading and may not represent the vehicle’s actual distance travelled or hours worked. These meter readings may be affected by prior repairs, cluster replacements, tampering, or other factors. you.bid does not independently verify meter readings and does not warrant their accuracy. Bidders/buyers must make their own enquiries and rely on their own inspections and checks.

Badging, Emblems & Labels:
Bidders/buyers are cautioned not to rely solely on an item’s badging, emblems, labels, decals, or any other fixtures to determine the true designation, model, variant, or specification of the vehicle or item. If there are any doubts regarding the vehicle’s true specifications, model year, or variant, further inspection and research by the bidder/buyer is strongly encouraged.

Roadworthiness & Registration:
Unless expressly stated otherwise in the listing, vehicles are sold unregistered, without number plates, and without any roadworthy or safety certificate (e.g., RWC/pink slip). It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify the roadworthiness and ensure compliance with their state’s registration requirements before bidding. The buyer is responsible for obtaining any necessary inspection reports, including roadworthy certificates, in their local area.

Encumbrances & PPSR:
Where a PPSR report is shown above (if provided), the vehicle’s VIN has been checked against the Australian Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) as at the time of listing. Unless the PPSR report states otherwise, no security interests, monies owing, or other types of registration have been recorded against the serial/VIN number in that report.

The seller remains responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is unencumbered and that any security interests are discharged. Bidders/buyers are strongly encouraged to obtain their own independent PPSR search for additional peace of mind before bidding or completing the purchase.

INSPECTIONS - VEHICLES

Bids should be made based on your personal inspection and assessment of the vehicle. The information provided in this listing is for guidance only. Typically, vehicles are not driven or road-tested; descriptions are based on an engine start-up only, unless otherwise stated. There may be additional damages, mechanical issues, safety issues, hidden faults, or body blemishes not listed, so a full inspection is highly recommended before bidding.

Standard auction practice allows for vehicles to be inspected and started during viewing, but not driven. Due to Health and Safety regulations, bidders cannot test-drive vehicles. However, you may start the engine, test dashboard functions, and open the bonnet to view the engine.

Used vehicles may have scratches, minor dents, paint chips, wear and tear, and other cosmetic imperfections from normal/everyday use.

To arrange an inspection, click the “Ask Question / Arrange Inspection” button under the bidding section at the top of this page to schedule a suitable time with the seller.

If you live interstate or cannot inspect the vehicle in person, we recommend organising a third party to inspect it on your behalf. This could be a family member, friend, or your preferred mechanic or inspection service.

PAYMENT - AUCTIONS

Pre-Bid Card Authorisation:

To participate in bidding, all registered buyers must authorise a payment hold on their credit card. When you place your first bid, a Pre-Bid Card Authorisation will be placed on your credit card to verify card validity, expiration date, and fund availability. This secure hold amount is stated in the IMPORTANT NOTES section in this listing.

This is NOT a charge, but a temporary verification measure to confirm that your card is valid and that sufficient funds are available. At the end of the auction, the hold amount will be released from your card. Holds typically expire within 7 days, but are often much sooner.  The exact timing may vary depending on your card provider.  In some cases, if an auction runs longer than 7 days or if your bank releases the hold early, a new authorisation may be required to continue bidding.  Failure to maintain a valid credit card may result in bidding restrictions or cancellation of bids.

Please note that we do not store your payment details beyond the authorisation process. All transactions are processed securely through Stripe, our trusted third-party payment provider, in accordance with industry-standard security protocols.

Buyer’s Premium:

If you are the winning bidder at the close of the Auction/Buy Now listing, the Buyer’s Premium will be automatically charged using the default payment method listed in your My Account. This charge covers the Buyer’s Premium only and does not serve as a deposit or contribute toward the item’s final bid price.

The Buyer’s Premium will only be charged once, and only if you are the winning bidder.  Please note that the Buyer’s Premium is added on top of the final bid price. The final total cost of the vehicle will include both the winning bid (which you pay to the Seller) and the Buyer’s Premium (which is collected by you.bid). Make sure to consider this total amount before placing your bid.

Once we receive payment for the Buyer’s Premium, the Buyer’s contact details and the Seller’s contact details will be exchanged via email.  You may also be notified via SMS.  The Buyer will see the Seller’s contact details displayed on the item’s auction page, and the Seller will see the Buyer’s contact details displayed on the item’s auction page.

The winning bidder is responsible for paying the winning bid price directly to the seller. Both buyer and seller must communicate to finalise the transaction, including arranging payment and collection of the item.

Credit Cards:

Buyers are advised to ensure that their credit card details are up to date, and to promptly update any outdated information to facilitate smooth transactions. Credit card information can be updated in the Payment Methods page of My Account.

COLLECTION

This item is located at Sylvania, NSW, Australia.

Unless this item is stated as ‘Free Postage’ or ‘Postage Included’, then this item is Pickup Only from the above location.

The buyer is responsible for arranging the collection of the item with the seller, either in person or through a third party such as a transport company. The seller will release the item only after receiving full payment and cleared funds. Upon collection, the buyer must present a copy of the winner’s email and a photo ID that matches the buyer’s information provided at the close of sale.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

Please review the Item Condition listed in the bidding section on this page for details about the item’s condition. For a full definition, please view the question “What is Item Condition?” in the Buyer’s section under the FAQs.  Descriptions, photos, and data forms (if attached) are provided as a guide only.

Clear Title (for Vehicles):

you.bid guarantees that vehicles in this sale are sold with clear title, as specified on the PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register), if provided.

GST & Buyer’s Premium:

The Buyer’s Premium is a fee charged to the successful bidder of an Auction or Buy Now sale, calculated based on the final bid price. Most sales attract a Buyer’s Premium, which may vary depending on the item’s category. The applicable Buyer’s Premium rate is displayed just below the Bid buttons on the Auction or Buy Now page and in the Buyer’s Premium section on this page. The Buyer’s Premium is generally calculated as a percentage of the final sale price, with a fixed Minimum Fee.  Items sold in the Marketplace are not auction items, therefore do not attract a Buyer’s Premium.

The GST applicability and Buyer’s Premium allocation for this listing are detailed in the bidding frame section just below the Bid buttons on this page. GST is included in the Buyer’s Premium. Whether GST is included in the final bid price is indicated in the IMPORTANT NOTES section below the Bid buttons.

Bidding:

Bids on items in this sale should be made based on your own assessment. Once placed, bids cannot be retracted or canceled. If you are unsure about placing a bid, please take into consideration the total overall cost of acquiring the vehicle before bidding, which includes, but is not limited to:

• The final bid price of the vehicle

• The Buyer’s Premium (calculated as a percentage of the final bid price)

• Transport costs to get the vehicle from the seller’s location to your preferred destination

• Registration costs, including any state transfer fees, roadworthy certificates, or inspection reports

• Repairs or roadworthiness costs, including necessary repairs to bring the vehicle to a safe and roadworthy condition

• Any additional fees or charges that may apply depending on the vehicle’s location, condition, and state of registration

By considering all these factors, you will ensure a clear understanding of the total commitment involved in purchasing the vehicle.

Once a bid is placed, it is final and no refunds will be given. It is the bidder’s responsibility to assess the total cost and ensure they are prepared for the financial commitment before placing a bid.

By registering and bidding, you agree to the you.bid Terms and Conditions of Sale. Please familiarise yourself with them before bidding. The terms and conditions of the auction platform may change from time to time without notice. Ensure you regularly review the Terms and Conditions.

Warranty:

Any manufacturer’s warranties may still apply to an item under their Terms and Conditions. For information regarding these warranties, please contact the manufacturer directly, not you.bid or the seller.

Registration (for Vehicles):

Registration and ownership requirements vary by state. Buyers should familiarise themselves with the registration requirements of the state where the vehicle will be registered. As is standard auction practice, the buyer is responsible for any state transfer fees, duties, and other applicable charges. If the vehicle is unregistered, you may be able to obtain a UVP (Unregistered Vehicle Permit) from your local state roads authority if you wish to drive the vehicle from the collection point.
