• 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.

Changing his seller name and listing the same Bronco immediately should red flag anyone who has been actively looking for Bronco's on ebay. It is a act of desperation.

You may be right. But don't forget "Hanlon's Razor" which states "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." ;D;D;D;D;D

I asked him a couple questions on ebay. Here is his response:

have replaced the bolt on the shock lol i apologize for that but it took me forever to find a new 1, as for a clear title yes i have title and bill of sale

- dixielandrestorations

the motor came from advance auto parts. it is all new from carb to oil pan.

- dixielandrestorations

We all know how hard it is to find those shock bolts and my first choice for an engine is always Advance autoparts.

Does Advance Auto sell Ford crate engines? They sell remanufactured ford engines, but that's not the same as a "Crate" engine.

dixielandrestorations is lying. He built (or worked on) that engine himself.

He told me that this web site has him mistaken for someone else? And that he stands by it being a 1968.Classic Broncos has it in for him for some reason he said

BTW exhaust fumes would be very strong in the cab with them open headers and all the unplugged holes on that firewall.

Would all that bedliner rub off on you from being on those doors?

I'd like to see the reciept for that "crate motor" I bet it is $24.78 for 4 cans of Ford engine blue Krylon spray paint and one can of spray degreaser.%)%)

Running with or without functioning exhaust is only relevant if the motor runs.. :))

my tool..................... never mind.

So, I think it's funny - he believes CB has it out for him. But if that is the only bronco he's sold (because he's NOT DB), then how would we even know who he is? He would just be some random guy who is selling a bronco.
