man thats a lot, is the new buyer a CB member???

 

[Dave Phillips]

I know it seems like a lot, but the last Stroppe that was sold on Ebay had only a frame, broken steering wheel, set of slots, doors and a tub from a different Stroppe that sold for $5,500., not to mention that the frame was from a Stroppe that caught on fire and it was a 1973 without the Stroppe AT and PS

I have been looking for a while for something to start a frame off restro on and this one looked very original and I would rather start with an $8,000 Bronco then a $15,000 Bronco. Sure I would have liked to have paid $6,500, but that was not in the cards.

So take it easy on me, I am a newbie

Dave-
Congrats on the buy. Would love to see the buildup posted on the board. What are your plans for it and when do you plan to get it started?

Thanks, I want to get started as soon as I get it to CT, we have a lot of snow up here and I have a heated garage, so I'm looking for something to do.

Closer then you think, I'm in Waterford

I wonder if the idiot who could have bought it for $900 is kicking himself right now!

 

[Ranger345]

That"s what I said!!

 

[broncojohn]

It looks like it might have the adapter from the picture. It looks like everything is intact except the inspection cover. My 6552 bid wasnt good enough. I think it's a good buy. As they say "go find another one".

Definately not an idiot or at least my doctorate degree may demonstrates some level of knowledge.

The seller already had a BUNCH of calls prior to me listing here. I prefer not to buy projects (yes, I prefer you all to restore and sell to me for 1/2 of what was invested).

Most importantly this guy was selling for his father dying of cancer. If he got a million dolllars for it hats off to him. My listing here, hopefully it brought more attention and it went to a CB member.

I guess next time I will buy and flip for a big profit!...I would rather do exactly what I did.

 

[Zillacon]

Exactly, when I contacted him he said he had an offer for 900 and one for 1000 but couldn't show it until the weekend which was several days away and he got bombarded within a couple of hours so there is no way anyone would have got that for a $1000 unless it was picked up in a couple of hours. I would have paid him a lot more just for the principle to help him and his family out and that was the right thing to do. I personally thought it was worth about 3500 in that condition but I bid higher just for the cause and would have gladly paid it if I won.

Congrats Dave! Take it easy on you? Hell, I'm jealous!
