• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

If it pops up in your city (it's been in several cities around the US) flag it as "prohibited"

Ok... so I went ahead and took one for the team.... buddy wants a Bronco.


Kansas City Craigslist ad with a TEXAS number... single pic with phone number superimposed

Called number... odd voicemail female voice... Hmmm Left no message, already VERY skeptical

Hours later, I get a text saying they'd send pics.... I bite (with alter-email address)

Again... hours later I get this from a John Pearson


Hello,

The Bronco is located in Florissant, MO. It's in very good condition and the title is clean and clear. I'm out of city right now,have and manage two cabins in Branson, MO. To sell the bronco, i have to do a trip back home.I'm waiting for your reply if you are seriously interested in buying it.

302 automatic original engine 411 9inch rearend Dana 44. Right front fender and driver door has some minor dings. Paint is in fair condition. A lot of new parts were installed this year: custom stainless steel detachable door hinges,tailgate,back window lift gate,weather strip,window rubber,door window weather strip,brakes,drag link,shocks,floors have been armor coated,side mirror,chrome bumpers,steering shock,door handles,seat upholstery. Vintage polished slot wheels.Have the spare tire mount it goes with it.

A lot of work has been put into this vehicle. The Bronco runs and drives perfectly.

I have since thrown an email back but no reply.

"Interested.... Who did the work on this?

I see this bronco listed on many sites. Is there a reason it has not sold yet?

Thanks"


I KNOW this is a scam, but just couldn't contain the sleuth in me....
