the 4000 to 8000 dollars rust buckets

Post by 777mechanic »

i can't believe how many piles of trash are here in town in the 4k to 8k . have looked at so many that should be run through the scrapper . just got pics of one that's listed on craigs for 8k and it needs rocker tailgate and frt fenders . i didn't even see the door posts . i really people knew that if there is bubbles the length of the rockers it's trash or if there silicone plastered all over the bottom that there could be rust . the one in westmister for 8k says lil rust and it should read lil of the bronco is left because of rust .

It is surprising how much people can get for the rust buckets. It comes down to un-informed buyers. I know that Billy spent most of Saturday working with Gregg getting him edjumacated on what to look for. Billy even let him drive his Bronco!

That may be a good tech class for some of the guys looking to buy, go over what to look for, actual value, repairs, bondo, paint issues, rust spots, potential issues, leaks, etc.

Only do this if you're looking for a bronco.

It's frustrating. However, the last two overpriced rust buckets knew the gig was up and called back wanting to make almost any deal. "What price would it have to be to get rid of this?". Thanks again 777 mechanic.
Definition of cool.
