Stacey David's Crazy Horse For sale

[sprdv1]

Wow... Who would've thunk it..! Whoever lands this one will have a nice ride, that's for sure...!

It isn't that nice of a truck guys. I have seen it in person and its nothing but a simple bolt on truck. As far as the value, what is valuable about it? Comparing it to the Balloon Chaser is like comparing a Foose Mustang to a Shelby raced Mustang. There is no history. The paint is about as bad as it gets and having met Parnelli a few times couldn't imagine that he would like Purple--Gold, White, and Black maybe in honor of Big Oly but Purple....Come on! Trust me when I say that this truck isn't nicer than about any bolt on only truck that you have ever seen... there are many guys here on the list, and many retailers that have built much nicer... and its not got a Barney paint job with terrible horse on it.[/QUOTE

Well, well, well, welcome, I guess Newbie. If you look back at the thread, Scoop was(and I am not a mind reader, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn express last night) from how I took it, sort of jokingly comparing when he compared to a Stroppe B. C. bronco. The original post made by me certainly did not say anything about it being in the same class with a Stroppe and I don't think it is taken as such by most people here. Don't know how long you have been reading before posting on CB, but I can't remember anyone putting it in a class with Stroppe Broncos. Your references to bolt on bronco are not totally correct either. MUCH metal was replaced in this bronco to remove the rust BEFORE any bolt on parts were put on. Maybe you need to look back at some of the shows and threads here on what all he did do the the bronco. Thanks for giving us your evaluation of the truck's paint from up close. No one on the East Coast has seen the truck at any events llike the Free for All a few years back oh, I''m not going to list them all........ Anyway, I will agree with color choice and air brushing. Not my favorite.
In terms of early broncos, think way back to 2002-2003 when did Early Broncos start really taking off in value. Holy smokes Batman, Trucks TV was on for John Q. Public to see an early bronco restoration and guess what, they liked it. I have joked with Stacey about being partially responsible for driving eb prices up. So however you want to look at it- this IS a significant early bronco from its impact on ebs in general............
Does that make it more or less valuable-who knows, up for opinions, parts list on this rig is impressive and it does hold a spot in eb lore.
FWIW

LOL, Hey Me Too.. ain't that a coinky dink..! ;D ;D

You have to admit Stacey put a LOT of hard work/repairs & high dollar parts into the Crazy Horse Build up, EVEN if you don't like the color..

Not too partial to purple either...but I enjoyed watching any episodes I could catch of the build up.

Except for welding, isn't bolts how most things are held together on a truck???

You Bolt on your lift, you bolt on you fenders, doors, hood.....

 

[mtfit]

thats not a bad price for all that, motor, axles, etc. not counting body work, all that adds up to alot more than 30+k.

Very good point, Karl! Most everyone that I meet in my part of the world knows that my truck is a "Bronco" and not a heep! And, then we get into a conversation about how intensely they watched Trucks TV when Stacey David was redoing his Early Bronco. Doc

 

[welndmn]

A smart person could resell it for 140% off e-bay.................

. . . If you look back at the thread, Scoop was(and I am not a mind reader, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn express last night) from how I took it, sort of jokingly comparing when he compared to a Stroppe B. C. bronco. . . .

Correct. (And I was really taking a jab at RR for screwing up a balloon chaser.) That said, part of the value of this truck is it being well known by most Bronco owners and the ugly horse is part of it's "charm" and perceived value! Base case is it is a very nice truck and probably well worth the asking price with all the upgrades. Yes there are some nicer "bolt-on" trucks (right, mtfit??) and they can and do get some higher sales prices.

Now, now Karl. u10072's post was clearly in response only to Scoop's comment about the Balloon Chaser; not anything you posted or anything anyone else previously posted about Stroppes. Scoop's post would only be read as a joke if you had also read the entire RockyRoads thread, so I don't really blame someone for taking him seriously. Newbies have the right to their opinions too.:-*

I agree the cash value of this particular Bronco is probably lessened by painting over that horse because of it's history on the show. But personally I value it less as a vehicle because of that paint job. I can't see myself driving around town in it, even though it's a definite conversation starter. This is certainly a case of "to each his own."

I'll go ahead and leave this post in Bronco Chat for another couple days, but then it really should go in the Classifieds. Good luck with the sale! It should be interesting to see what it goes for.

There is value in the "fame".
If you look at it strictly as a collection of parts and a questionable paint job, then yes, that would lesson the value.

I guess we're all guilty of questioning value since in the end, it is all subjective.

 

[Hogback]

If he were still doing Trucks! and he advertized across the show to sell it, there is no telling how high the price would go and I bet the offers would start at 50k and go up. He should auction it.
hate the horse or love the horse it doesnt matter, that truck has a high value simply because of the national notoriety.

 

[PS]

...
Stacey is moving on to some other projects and hates to see it just sit...

Any word on what the new projects might be?

Here is an example for you...If you knew that I had a Bronco for sale that had the identical cash reciepts as Crazy Horse and they were rebuilt identically with the exception that mine wasn't video documented, built by a reputable truck builder and one of, if not, the most recognized EBs in the US, would you buy it for $38k? NO, you wouldn't, but I bet you would think about it if you had the cash and it were for sale from the likes of Stacey, Boyd Coddington and other guys of his caliber. It is kind of like West Coast Choppers & Orange County Choppers, the get the prices for their builds because of who they are and the reputation they have, not because the vehicle is the absolute best one there was ever built. I am sure that there are much nicer EBs out there and were better built than this one, but how many of them say that Stacey built them?

He ought to get ahold of Jay Leno, he might buy it;D

Funny thought!
If someone had the identical build ,minus the fame attached to it, the jackasses would be allover it badmouthing the "ridiculously high price"

 

[snipes243]

If I had the money I would buy it in a heart beat? I think the purple and white and the horse to be pretty cool and goes with the whole them.

 

[reynard101]

If you built an exact replica of Crazy Horse someone would question why the heck you would air brushed a snorting horse on the side. I loved the build, I even like the color (not my personal choice but great for TV and photos, and a little different), but an air brushed horse. I know, I know... it was for TV, with the theme and all.

I'm sorry to hear that Stacy is selling the Bronc. With only 700 miles on it since the build, it's probably best it goes to someone who will drive it a bit more. I do realize that we don't "really" own Broncos, we're just keeping them until the next owner takes them (unless you get burried in yours, which I'm sure someone on this forum is planning).

 

[deltarat]

My son would never bury me in mine. He already talks to his friends about his bronco.

Not sure what you mean Gary? "bolt on" trucks, both of mine have been far from "bolt on" ??? anyway I still think Crazy Horse is a deal.
sure thing, you couldnt build it today for that !
