As for the Socks and Sandals name given him..... http://classicbroncos.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=67604&d=1180822648

He has posted on this forum using the names MYGR868 and Riding High 66. You can search his name on this forum to see his posts, and see what type of seller he really is.

His current bronco is listed as a 1968, but is clearly a much later version.

ummmmm...............what's wrong with these turn signals? 1968?

 

[ObscureMachine]

Lift blocks, when it was yellow, after it was repainted black.

 

[ObscureMachine]

Well there's your problem...

 

[half cab]

Thet ort to be a law against that...

"Crate Motor"

chevy_man512 ebay ad: "which has been totally restored from the ground up"

Was that radiator totally restored?

 

[bigpitbull]

This guy is amazing.. As Halfcab stated earlier... There needs to be some type of law or agency that handles people like this

 

[N747JB]

Can't be the same guy, those tires aren't dry-rotted and no clear title!!! ;D

 

[bbow]

Some of my ninja's have reported that he bought some sorta car hauler. Possibly the yellow school bus on Facebook.

 

[jspurl3]

I believe this group could solve a murder...........as long as a Bronco was involved!! ;D;D

Haha true, but the sad thing is some poor guy will still end up with it!

No "CLEAR TITLE", But there is a "happy bidding"

i think you are 100% correct;D

 

[ObscureMachine]

i think you are 100% correct;D

I think that's like when you have a 3 year old and suddenly your cat is painted purple.

There are some smart people watching out for him, but the truth is.....................
SNS just isn't that smart.;D

 

[Fireball05]

At least those kids are wearing safety glasses!

 

[71massbronco]

It could be...went from seatbelts to lug nuts.

 

[ObscureMachine]

got a message back
"usually when you do a ground up restoration or in my case a Rotisserie you would definitely separate the body from chassis and blast and repair all bad, this particular bronco was soda blasted helps keep from damaging the metal. I hope this helps and as you can see from the pictures my bronco is all new underneath very clean. as for the chevy man i own 3 63 split window corvettes and 1 55 chevy nomad wagon. the bronco was just a toy project. thanks"

It's like he has a pathological desire to prove he's smarter than everyone (or at least me). There is dumb, and then there is SNS.

 

[ObscureMachine]

Remember, he claims it's a frame off, rotisserie, restoration. But, he didn't use an original windshield knob, but used an old rusty bolt!

Also, frame off, rotisserie restoration, and he used a diamond plate glove box cover, and put it on like a drunk ostrich.

 

[half cab]

Yep he rol-tis-tard her over with that HF cherry picker

 

[broncosbybart]

It has a 76-77 front steering linkage. I like the rear lift kit... I wonder if the fuel line is connected to the PCV???

Unfortunately I think someone will pay way too much for this 'gem'


Edit- on closer inspection, the front axle is a 76-77 and it has electronic ignition, late dash, 76-77 front inner fenders, electric wipers. Not to mention the 302 (not 289) and the auto trans. My guess is that the truck is a 76 with a 68' glove box. Perhaps that does make it a frame (and body) off resto. I really like the vacuum booster- bet it works well w/no vacuum line attached...

 

[ObscureMachine]

Have you ever seen a "crate engine" (with only 200 miles) that came with a painted blue water pump?

The distributor clearly has more than 200 miles on it. The fender bolts (remember, "frame off") are painted black. And what's with the bedliner on the doors?

I would give somebody my bronco if they can prove that is a new crate motor with only 200 miles on it.

If he built that so called"CRATE ENGINE"....well I bet it would get del. on the back of a bus to whom ever the hi-looser is ..Rolled off at the late nite roadside park!!
