I'm going to try and set-up a time with the seller to check this thing out in person. I'll report back any findings because I'm sure there will be some people interested.

Somebody chime in if you want me to be on the look-out for anything in particular about the truck and I'll do my best to find out.

That truck is absolutely beautiful! The only thing I've noticed that I don't like is the non original radio, but otherwise it's perfect.

ford master mechanic routed the brake lines like that after replacing the lines?

The after market radio, speakers in the doors and rear quarters sort of dissapoints me but it is still absolutly beautiful.

some stuff seems odd but it is a nice one.

Is that the same one that was floating around here about 6 months or so ago?

That is an incredible specimen!

How do you verify stuff like the mileage, etc? I dont ask this to doubt the guy, just wondering how you keep a paper trail to authenticate stuff like that.

Around the bronco emblem there seems to be a lot of orange peel in the paint, were the originals that bad? Maybe a repainted fender, i am not doubting, just curious.

I agree on the orange peel, I noticed that, this is one I would have to see in person before I bid that much only later to find all the little things that didn't add up, ether way its a nice rig.

Beautiful rig, but I too am somewhat skeptical of the 8,500 original miles. If the original owner drove it to and from work for a few years, he must have lived about two blocks from work to keep the mileage that low.

Plus "The only items not factory are wear items like tires, and the steering wheel was replaced because it had a small crack in it"

Yet there is the aftermarket radio and speakers, as well as the orange peel around the emblem. Still a very nice rig, but I think the guy is trying to stretch the truth too much.

Some say they wouldn't drive it but I would. Mine had 8673 miles on it when I bought it. Though I don't have documentation to prove it, those who have seen it won't argue. A few have driven it and said it was the tightest they have ever driven, like brand new. I don't drive it everywhere I go, but I do drive it.
