Heres another whats it worth question. Sorry for long winded but here it goes. One of my Dads best friend has reciently passed away. He had a 68 Bronco that my Dad thinks he bought new. My childhood memory starts after the Bronco was all ready around. I live 500 miles from it and haven't seen it for many years. When I'd visit back home I always teased him on when was he going to sell me the old heap. My dad is over 70yrs old and isn't much help figuring out its condition. All I know and can say is its in Ohio,been kept in a garage for as long as I can remember(with a radio playing so it wouldn't get lonly),hasn't been driven much if any for years and years,had major work done on the 6cyl engine maybe compleatly replaced around 1980,its uncut and was repainted the factory light blue approx 15 yrs ago with possible fiberglass work done on the floorpans. The daughter (lives in Oregon)who is in charge of the estate and who I'm in contact with now said all it needs is a battery. Ya right. Going thru my Dad they offered it to me for what a appraiser priced it at which was a very good price but they needed a decision right away. I got the Daughters # from Dad. I called her that night and told her yes. The very next mourning I had a e-mail from her stating they will have to put off the sale till May 1st. She said she needed to talk some things over with and to honor her brothers wishes. I haven't been able to contact anyone to figure out whats going on?:?. If buy chance the brothers get greedy and want more mony and based upon the info I have at hand what is a reasonable price for this 68 ? I have a story with this Bronco and would like to have it but money is tight and there is always something else that needs to be done.
I currently have a 71 I've had for 16yrs and do all the work and mods on it myself so I know my way around A Bronco. My 71 is built deciently for my off-roading purposes so the 68 would be built for the wife and daughter's DD. Which means at least power steering and brakes. The three on the tree would be bother some. Maybe a 3spd shifter on the floor or I have a 465 as a spare for what I put in my 71. Annnnnd they don't like the color
. What say you? Thanks
