MO 1972 Sport for sale at auction

[TBALL]

My dad recently died and had a 1972 Bronco Sport that had been garaged for the past few years. The garage collapsed in February after a large snowstorm and damaged the removable roof. Beyond that, the Bronco appears to be in relative condition given its age. The front right fender has some damage and the rear bumper appears to be bowed somewhat. The seats and interior are worn and need replaced. 93,XXX original miles. The estate auction will be held at 10:00am, June 1, 2013 at 906 N. Miami, Marshall, MO.

it says ut has a reserve, do you know how much? Did it run well when stored?

Hey Darcytribe, you need a second one? I may have to show up for this one.

It did run when it was stored. My dad had a stroke in 2009 and died in 2010. I'm guessing that 2009 was the last time he turned the engine over. He had too many cars and would not spend the money to keep tags and insurance on all of them, so he didn't drive it a great deal. I drove it quite a bit when I was in college and it ran great then. The shifter for the 3-speed always seemed loose, but other than that it worked perfectly.

Details, details... I thought it said Marshfield Mo so I pulled off I-44 to locate it. Too far for me to get to Marshall Mo. Bummer.

I did the same thing Thom, thinking Marshfield... That's too far for me too.

To far for me too, would like to see pics to see what I'm going to miss out on.

It's only 30 miles from me, but I've got to run our Company picnic that day

I posted several photos of the 72 Bronco in the Photo gallery. I haven't mastered the ability to add them to my original post yet. It is still the original color (yellow) and the original window sticker was in the glove compartment. I may try to scan the sticker and add it to the post of the photo gallery. The pictures show it from all angles, dents, rust and all.

 

[darcytribe]

what's the reserve price?

 

[darcytribe]

glad I didn't make the run up there... I just found out the reserve price, ridiculous for the rig in those pics.

Really. After looking at the pictures I want to know how much is too much.
