I agree with the checking for bondo, also check and see if the wheel wells have been cut to put the bigger tires under it. Otherwise, if the thing cranks and runs, it's probably worth 3K. Hard to find a hard top that is still in good shape.

I had a 1971 Bronco that I bought in 1972 and drove it until 1984 when I traded it in on a El Camino. I was having trouble getting parts for any break down, but I looked a little and there seems to be parts avaliable. Avaliable, but expensive. The Bronco was tough, but tough to drive. It wasn't much of a comfortable ride, but I was a lot younger. If you get serious about this Bronco, give it a good going over. I repainted mine and there was quite a bit of rust through in the top. The motor was sound, but the body was built when Detroit was building junk. Check out the rear skid plate over the gas tank. There was just a little room between the tank and the skid plate and the last thing I had to replace was the gas tank. Mud got stuck in there and rusted the tank out. The hinge on the windshield was rusting pretty good and I never took the roof off or folded the windshield down. Another thing to think of, is the Bronco has a short wheel base and is sort of top heavy. Be careful, don't climb a hill at an angle, go straight up or don't go. Good luck.
