Hey guys and gals, been a while since I was active but ive been lurking the classifieds for the last few weeks. My wife is still.mad I sold our broncos and wants me to get another.
Long story short it would be sweet to find one of our old broncos.

I sold 3 broncos and a craploas of parts to a guy who lived on the michigan/Ohio border around 13 years ago he sold them both shortly after. I was able to track him down and the only contact info on one of them went cold.

Here's the story on the 1st one.
1970 wagon, I had a 5.5 lift in it, 302, 3spd, mini spool in the rear, chevy disk swap on a 44 front. Probably had some homemade cheesy half doors. I had painted it florescent green with white and yellow flames( I'm sure it got repainted). It was a wheeler and beat hard. I talked to the last known owner, his name was carlo, he said he sold it to a dad for a father/son project along with a different tub around 7 years ago.

The next one was a 1974 explorer, red, with red houndstooth interior, 302/c4/power steering. Only had around 30,000 original miles. He doesn't recall where or who he sold it to.

Any help would be appreciated but I know I'm searching for a needle in a hay stack. Even if not for sale it would be cool to hear/see what happened to either.
Thanks
Matt

An interesting request and search like this would have a much better chance of getting some responses if you posted pics of the different trucks.

Yeah no kidding on prices, when I was into them the first time I bet I had drug home 10 of them for parts rigs paying less than a 30 pack of Busch light each. Even some of my better ones were only $500. Amazing were prices are 18 years later.
I wish I had pics to post or even to reminisce.
