Got an email reply. I talked to the person awhile back regarding safety inspection in Hawaii..

Nice to hear. Glad I could help find the deals. Just wish I could have made it right for me but, am happy one of my Brothers picked it up. ;D ;D ;D

Cool. You scored 3 broncos in less than a month. Better go to Vegas or buy some lottery tickets. I'll come over later to check it out.

I didn't get a chance to bring it home friday, the owner still got some paper work to take care of and he wasn't ready to release it yet. I did get a hand shake deal.

 

[Madgyver]

It's Home!!!!!

Taz and I just got it flat towed into our driveway..... ;D

That looks like it's in great shape. Good score Mad!

The PO didn't realize what he had I guess.

Cherry! Great score.

Mad,
Very nice score with that one, thanks to Grunt I guess. Grunt could you find me one real close to home that is in the same condition and same price. ;D

Do you know what caused the fire yet??? I would like to know just so i can check mine and my sons out and make sure that dont happen to ours if we can help it. Thanks. Good Deal you got there. Looks great.

No problem Grunt, You're more than welcome....

Flash, looks like it was a fuel fire that started with a short somewhere.
Mostly burned in front of the carb and behind the distributor.

I'll check the MSD box if it still throws a spark and replace the wiring with the take out from my 77 which I have a Painless going in.

Looks like a dandy. Don't you have a Cleavor about ready to drop in that orange ride?

I never thought of that.....
Sounds like a great idea!
My priority is to get that same motor running and cranking it over tonite with the starter sounded real nice. Fuel pump works fine, Relay works. I didn't get a chance to test the MSD, most of the leads were melted off.

Niice...

I'll have to start bugging the wife for another trip.

She owes me a 5 day trip. She's going to Cali next week to visit her cousin. Maybe I can convince her that I need to go visit my long lost Brother... ;D ;D ;D
