A nice fellow stopped by the house the other day, wanting to trade me some funny green paper for some of my hard metal parts and various vehicles about the property, seemed funny to me, but I humored him and sold him an old wheel and gave him some junk air conditioners....The whole thing seemed funny to me until he was about to leave, and spied the second bronco hardtop he had seen. Then he asked if I had a bronco to go with it. I told him mine was in the shop getting torn down to the frame....
Want another one?
THere it was the question that always gets it started.
Well, not much money to spend, but I don't know maybe if it's cheap, I am getting divorced anyway, so what the heck....
How much?
I bet he would take a few hundred........
NOW you have my attention.
So long story short, I get the number and go up there and this is what I found.
REally solid 68, with 289 and 3 speed, headers and brand new dual exhaust, the chassis and drivetrain has been gone through and was all cleaned and painted...it's a bit dirty now, but still in great shape.
I found very little rust in the truck, the bottom of the tailgate is toast, there were a few small holes in the one inner fender....the floorboards look scaly but I didn't see any holes....haven't dug that deep yet, but looks good
The rear floor is very solid, the posts in good shape, with the pass side striker only one needing any work, it needs a striker pin, and maybe some small repair toward the bottom.
It has late model F150 or bronco wheels, I had to pay $50 extra for.
decent chrome bumper, great radiator and shroud, and a 2" body lift, its cut for flares, and did have 35's on it.
$350 total, and He will deliver for gas money with the roll back!!!!!!!
Is it me or did the deal of the year just find me?
I am stoked, it won't take much to get this running and on the road so I have a driver while working on my 72.
