Geez Karl...looks like he is a reasonable guy after all. What did you do to make him so crabby? ;D

All is well that ends well. And it is always tough to sell a vehicle for someone else, particularly if it is one that is going to require you to have some detailed familiarity with the 'breed'.

I dont know you Karl..but GEEZZZZ .... ;D

geeeez

Guess I just rubbed him the wrong way. I thought by complimenting his bronco to start with ("VERY nice bronco") should have alowed me to ease into the questions...... Maybe he became enlightened when he read several questions along the theme of "original"
Truthfully, as has been mentioned, but for that $amount it would have to be tops in every respect.....
With that said I think we have decided to restore my '66 next year, that has been sitting in the back corner of the garage since 1999!! Can't imagine why it got passed up two times for a build in the last 5 years!-acutally the purists will appreciate this-I did not have the heart to cut it in half when we did the current trail rig-bought another eb from an old gentleman in Tampa for that and cut it up. My green '74 was "discovered" locally with fenders cut on the rear and when it came home I was just going to "drive it".
Paint, suspension, engine, tranny, tcase, new discbrake 44, rebuilt 9", tires and wheels it is done except for Beard seats......... Now if the other project gets done this winter we can start the '66 next.......

when it came home I was just going to "drive it".

LOL, I thought pretty much the same thing with mine. I was going to put a rear seat and tires on it. I also had EFI in mind but I didn't think at the time that it would morph into the project it turned into.

"VERY nice early bronco. I have been looking for a halfcab for my wife for several months. Noticed your description said "everything original" -the roll bar was not available from Ford, the rear bumper/hitch was not factory and it is missing the factory hub caps. Anything else changed on the rig? Is the original air cleaner still on it? Just curious before I bid."

Personally I think your comment came off sounding a bit like a smarta$$. You may not of meant it, but it came off that way to me.

I read it like this... Hey nice Bronco, I know enough about broncos to tell that you are lieing to the other people. Since I know more about EBs than other people tell me the truth about the rig, is anything else changed? Is the original air cleaner on it?

I thought his response was nice considering how I read it.
For the record, I hope my response doesn't come accross like bashing. It's not my intent to do that. I'm just trying to show you how it could be read.

You probably should have asked the guy if he would accept a trade. The Bronco! For a FIVE KNUCKLE SANDWICH..

It looks like an original bumper, but with a big/ugly bullbar on it. Its OK. Might even be worth the $$, but not based on that info. He may just be testing the waters... %) as people have been doing lately.... %)

It looks like he welded a hand railing to the stock front bumper? I you were going to make a tube front bumper would you use 1" tube?

And the rear bumper sticks out like a swim platform.

Sweet.

Whatever happened to each their own?

That's old school "rancher". Build it to be functional, and build it out of what you have.
