[SwedenBronco]

I was searching the swedish "Craigslist" and there was an ad for a corvette at the copart system, then I found this, looks like it has a potensial...

dang...that looks like it could be an engine and trans away from being a sweet machine, however without more details on the "engine fire" who knows

Something seems fishy. Obviously a lot of time and money went into that truck. Why let the insurance co. take it away? Maybe it was purchaed by a yuppie with no mechanical skillz yo.

I am heading to San Antonio this weekend I am going ot check out the lot to see if it is there and if any other damage can be seen.

I saw it on an insurance auction a few months ago

It's been floating around that site for many months at least. It all sounds fishy unless it never reaches some kind of reserve. If something seems to good to be true, it probably is, especially online with an auction company that knows how to make money:

Might as well

I made the trip out there to see this bronco. I did a google search for copart in austin and new braunfels and came up with the same address. I looked for a lot or building and at the address given there is nothing but a field. There were a couple of places on the 7000 block and 9000 block but not at the address given. I dont want to call it a scam but not sure what to think. And the more I think about it the more I dont like the 200.00 registration fee just to bid on something of this price. Not to mention the deposit of 400.00
If someone comes up with anything else let us all know.
