I just got PM'd a set of pictures of this Orange Bronco in Hawaii (with California plates) that had an engine fire. I guess it's for sale. Anyone know this Bronco? Is it worth salvaging?

might have to copy and paste the links in IE. For whatever reason, links I post don't work out too well either. And, no, I don't suck at the internet. ;D ;D ;D

Looks like just a small carb fire. New carb wiring and let it rip.

You guys are right. I need to pay up the $12.00 and become a contributor. ;D I just don't want to have to explain to the wife why I'm paying $12.00 so I can post pictures on the BB. :'( I just don't think she'll understand... ?:? ?:?

I would love to buy it for the asking price. But, the cost to get it to me will be somewhat expensive.

Madguyver (sp)... Here's a prime chance to add one to your stables for the low low price of......... $1000.00

I'll see if I can get some contact info on it tomorrow. The guy originally wanting to buy it is in California. He's a Jeeper wanting to buy an EB and re-sell to make some $$$ so he can build a Jeep. I told him that when he buys an EB, he'll never go back to Jeeps... ;D ;D ;D

Oh yeah, I have 2 extra carbs, 1 set of extra wires and a pair of 5.0L engines (one EFI one setup for carb) I could have donated to this project if it were local. Damn the luck... :-*

Mad,

Sorry never saw that bronco before. That one is in cherry condition. If you contact the owner and decide not to buy it, I might be interested.

Hey Madgyver... I sent your number back through the guy who sent me the pics originally. I also replied to your PM.

Only thing I ask is when I come up, I get a ride in the beast (or one of your many) while I'm there. ;D ;D ;D

That was the original plan. But, the guy interested isn't a gear head. He would have parted it out and we'd be one less EB in the world. This way, Mad can toss in a few extra parts and have her running in a few hours. (I'm sure).

It all works out in the end.
