Thanks for the welcome aboard and the compliments.
Some details if you have some time to kill or are just bored
After looking on ebay for about a month with no luck, a friend of mine found this Bronco listed in the "for sale" section on Jeff's Bronco site.
The seller could not have been a more honest guy. Buying a car on the blind can be a spooky proposition. He accurately described every detail, I was a happy guy when it showed up.
As clean as it looks, it has still managed to make $1500 dollars disappear in the last few weeks.
I had the hardtop repainted, all new weather-stripping, new glass gaskets, new vinyl flooring, and bunch of small misc. items that added up quick.
To answer a couple of questions posted, I am keeping it bare bones stock, going for the "park ranger" look, not going to cut it.
Previous owner gave me 5 stock steel rims so the mags will be gone soon, I need to order some period correct tires.
I plan on driving it a lot, this one will not be a garage queen. I didn't want something too nice that I couldn't enjoy it.
The best, Pete
