73 explorer

that guy has only owned it since april believe it or not........IT HAS SPENT THE LAST THIRTY THREE YEARS IN A THE TOWN OF FRIES

he only paid 3300 for it then did bout 2k grand worth of maintenance and up grades to it.

then posted it on craigs list I WENT DOWN THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IT!

when asked why he was selling he told me he was really a chevy guy and just lost interest in it....then he showed me his fully restored 68 camoaro (was AWESOME), A FULLY RESTORED CHEVy TRUCK AND A REAL NICE VETTE.

he really had no idea what he had ....matter of fact it was uncut untill May of this year and he got his saw saw out and went to town one day>>>

OMG! - that bronco was from Fries, VA wasnt it? - we had spent all day on the New River and were headed back and i saw it for sale - that one would be in my driveway right now, but mine is at the paint shop and that would have been a stretch - that one was nice. why oh why do you find deals like that when you've maxed out your bank acct - then when you have money burning a hole in your pocket there aint squat.

My ex wife (Satan's personal trainer) almost drowned on the New River back in late 80s. So needless to say I have fond memories and many fantasies about that river.

OP nice Bronco very nice. Well done

You got such a good deal...you can throw money at it now!!! LOL
I bought a "good deal" 2yrs ago and am just now getting ready to get it out of the garage....it went in costing $6100.00....rolling out 11K total investment. Just remember that 33yo stuff is 33 years old!

 

[stang67]

very nice. priced about right to me.

 

[Thunder Chicken]

thanks for the encouragement ...always to good to hear confirmation from fellow
bronco guys that i got the deal i thought i did....especially when my wife keeps telling me im crazy!!!!

 

[stang67]

yeah, I did the same thing when I bought mine. I posted pics/description/price and wanted to make sure I didn't just screw up. These guys know what they are talking about on here. The only thing is if you find a good deal they want to buy it and let you break even. LOL!!
