So as a lot of you know and saw, we had an classic auto auction here in Greenboro, NC over the past few days. Ive known about it for months and have been keeping an eye on this little 66 since it was listed in the inventory. I decided that I at least needed to get a bidders pass just in case any of the broncos ended up going cheap. I kept looking at the pictures of the 66 everyday for what seemed like eternity waiting on the auction. The week finally arrived and I got to go check it out on Friday and lay eyes on it for the first time. When I saw it in person it was even better than I expected. Its a super solid bronco and doesn't have any signs of rust or any rust repair. It has been painted and is a little brighter than Wimbledon white and it also has a little bondo in it. It does present pretty darn well tho! Of course at an auction you can't drive it or anything and I had to wait until it was heading to the auction block to hear it run so I just checked the fluids and stared at it trying to come up with a price I was willing to pay. Saturday came and I got to the auction and stared at all the broncos for a few hours. There were a couple members from here there and a few other people I knew wandering around so it was almost like a car show in which all the cars were for sale. We all stood around and chatted about broncos and whatnot until the broncos started rolling. Of course we watched em all drive down the isle listened to em run and checking for leaks. When they finally came up to the block I told my buddy my number and he knew to tackle me if I started to exceed it. It sure was a stressful 2 minutes of my life but ultimately I came out with the top bid and won the truck for $1000 less than my maximum. Got to bring it yesterday after they got my paperwork all squared away. Of course I had to drive it around and get some pics as I like to do shortly after I get something.
