1969+ Selling due to Sons last wish

Thomas Jefferson said: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Your family has given the ultimate sacrifice to our nation's liberty. Thank you.

Before we set any of this up, has anyone actually spoken to the owner or seen this Bronco in person to see what it actually needs? That seems to be something that needs to be done first before we start massing parts and collecting any funds. Just a thought.

I think the first thing that needs to be done .... verify the story.
We have the cart in front of the horse ...

I'm sure all involved understand that in this day and age.

Trailnut, I was truly moved by your post and I would like to say I am sorry for your loss. My little brother is in the Marine Corps and is arriving in Afghanistan today and will be there for the next 8 months. So I want to help by donating to this project and I will keep your family in my prayers and I mean that. God Bless you.

[NGABronco]

Hey Hoosier, it was a good thing you were trying to do!!!

Honest men are easy to take advantage of and that was what this guy had in mind from the beginning!!! He was probably just going for a sympathy sale, and when the good hearted folks on CB offered help, he started milking it.

I can only hope you're around if I ever need any help!!!

Take care and forget about this guy.
See ya';D ;D

 

[ransil]

wonder if he is trying the same thing on the mini cooper forum

 

[Fitz24]
