Everybody has a "I'm not selling it, price".;)

Unless you live in CA make that a six figure price if you really don't want to sell for less than crazy money.

If you do live in CA you need to make it higher than an ICON.

May be tempting, but just remember that ‘72 has provided many months of Broncosanity while the ‘66 has been being restored. All that withdrawal therapy could eat up your profits.....!

I've been offered newer truck trades too.
Doesn't make sense to exchange an appreciating asset for a depreciating asset.
I can't think of a price below 6 figures I would entertain.

I must look like one mean/surly SOB cause I never get ask or followed or anything.

Maybe my rig is just not as nice as you guys.......the flat OD green and black look isn't the "IN" thing maybe.

Last time someone ask about my ride it wasn't my Bronco. I was out in the 69 Mach 1. Some know it all telling me I killed the value of the car by "sticking that 390 in there". Tried to tell him, "factory S code mach 1" and I got the whole, "Ford never put blah blah blah in a Mustang".

I did the OK, OK, OK thing, finished pumping gas in and drove off.

I can't relate with the Bronco because it never gets to town, but I go through this all the time with my '79 F-150. I can't go anywhere without someone asking about it, or telling me about how their dad/grandpa/uncle/etc. had one. I've numerous people and several notes left on the windshield asking to sell. The latest person to approach me to sell was a girl I believe to be in her 20's or early 30's, which really surprised me. I chalked that up to my strikingly good looks, but she was probably just interested in the truck. :p

Just about every time I'm out in my Bronco, I get asked if I want to sell it. I know I could get quadruple of what I paid for it and I haven't done much to it. If I get some crazy offer then maybe...;)

Yesterday, a guy in a Silverado next to me asked if I would sell mine. I politely told him not today. He said, "I can understand why its very nice." Thank you.

Yesterday I was pumping gas into the Bronco when this guy comes out of the station and tells me I have a really nice ride. Then he asked if I would be interested in trading him for his "vintage S10". I looked at his rusty truck and told him no, but thanks for offering. He grinned, got in his S10 and cruised away.

this made me LOL haha, also reminded me of how I cringe when I see cars from the 90's rocking Historic plates....think I'm just in denial, I'm old %)

Wow. I enjoy my EB. It has sentimental value. But I’d laugh all the way to the bank if I got 30k for it. That’s the crazy number I throw out. Only have had one offer so far, but no, a 90’s mustang and some cash is not gonna cut it for a trade. Not even close.

At Walmart the other day, a guy asked what I'd have to have for it. I told him I saw one listed at 400K the other day, so I'll take no less than $1M. His response: "Well, ok then..." I smiled and walked out.

I had an offer for mine, even before I bought it! The PO was nice enough to let me take it out on a test drive on my own. I had it stopped in a parking lot and was going over things and a random fellow walked up and asked me if I was interested in selling it.
I knew right then it was probably a good buy.
