• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

The CL listing was in NH, I texted the owner yesterday. They replied today. and said that they and the truck were in Champaign, IL. Owner gave me some cockamamie story about how they listed it with a 3rd party... blah, blah. The NH CL post has been pulled since. Area code of owner is 217.

Text to me:

"This is a very nice turn the key 1966 Collectors Bronco and its believed by previous owner which is a bronco enthusiast to be one of first 300 of production line off the line in 1966 but not decoded or confirmed tho."

The VIN plate pic only shows:

015GLJ20409
092 P U150 9J

Haven't heard from owner after asking why it was priced so low.

Hitting Prohibited on these ads feels like playing Whack-a-Mole but I still do it.

I fell for it and texted more info. Then seen add in many states. He called and by his voice and incomplete sentences knew it was scam. Just a repainted flipper. Prob roll ya when you show up with cash. Just my opinion
Beware

OMRebel23, literally laughed out loud at your post. I hit the prohibited on the adds and think to myself does the scam ever actually work, is someone wiring 16K to someone only emails?
