Hey Guys,

Have not been on here lately, been traveling a lot due to work.

I will get to the point, I am selling my Bronco due to some health reasons, and family reasons. I have had migraines everyday, from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed, for nearly 16 months now, and it is just getting worse. I have been to numerous doctors, even had sinus surgery because one doctor said I had a sinus infection and that was the cause. After seeing two chiropractors, physical therapists, Otolaryngologist, and a neurologist, nothing has relieved the pain. There is one thing that does help and that is not sitting down. Moving around I can tolerate the pain more, I have no idea why, but for some reason it helps.

Unfortunately, I have a job the requires me to sit behind a desk all day long. It is a great job that supports my family, but it really is not me. I have always worked with my hands. Since these migraines never go away unless I am up and moving, I have decided to find another job that will allow more time on my feet and provide me some sanity. It sucks coming home to your loved ones feeling like you have been run over by a mac truck.

So, in order to do this, I have to sell the Bronco to pay off some bills and help move....again. It sucks, but I see no way around it. I can always build another, and will!

I threw a quick add on CL today, no pictures and a lame description. The body has no rust, but it is not perfect. Window frame on both sides have broke near the windshield. Everything else has either been replaced or rebuilt. I am curious what price is reasonable. I put $15k because I have seen ones not near as nice between $10-13k.

Dont worry, I have thick skin, so be honest and let me know what you think I should ask.

I will post pictures of everything when I get a chance..

I would put a carb spacer on it.

Easily drive 75mph with one hand. I have a warning ticket to prove it. Drives straight. This has been my daily driver. Selling it due to health and family reasons.

I'm very sorry about your headaches. Very frustrating to have chronic headaches. Good luck to you and I bet you get 15 k for your 66. Peter

Sorry to hear this, good luck with the sale!

Post her on cb.com. I would start out asking 18k and negotiate down from there. I agree 15k is a good deal

I really hope you find solution for the headaches

So sorry to hear this! My wife gets them as well, and she is quite miserable! But I can't imagine that on a daily basis.

I wish there were a way around this for you, but you do have a very nice bronco and I don't think you'll have a hard time selling it.

Thanks guys! I appreciate all your comments. I will give CB a try, and bump up the price so there is more wiggle room. It is so hard to put a price tag on something like this. I drove her this morning, it is going to be tough saying goodbye...

I've sold 5 of them and regretted each sale.

They are advertising a procedure here in GJ that is like what they do to unclog arteries. They use an inflatable balloon and insert it into your sinuses. This permanently moves tissue and relieves allergies. snoring and possibly headaches. Might be worth researching if you haven't already. I hope you find a way to get rid of the headaches.

Have you sold it yet? I was talking with my roofing sub yesterday and he wants one, offered to buy mine last night while we were talking. And where are you at?

Yea, I still have it. I live in Arvada. Not sure if mine is as nice as yours though

Green sold last Saturday. So sad to see her go. I believe the new owner will be able to take care of her better than I could though. I took this picture the day before I let her go.

That is hard. I hope you get to put a pony in your stable again!

Did it got to a guy down here in the Springs or someone up in your neck of the woods? I gave all the info to my roofer and wondered if he got in touch with you.

I saw your Beautiful Emerald on Toms Broncos classifieds... I guess that explains the "kinda weird story!"

It is not worth $22,500! He just put lipstick on it to make it look better. I wish I could warn anyone interested in buying this. The back of it has bondo all over it! The seats are crap. The turn signals do not work. I hope he does not rip someone off.

Seriously, we need to get the word out that this is not worth that.

The site has a flagging option.

We should all contact him and say, it's only worth about....uhhh... 13k!

And I agree, that seems like a reasonable price. But it is worth whatever anyone is willing to spend... If you don't do your research, then you deserve to get screwed! I know I've done that a time or two. Impulse buys suck!

Same thing happened when I sold my 51 ford F1 pick up.

Guy and his partner came and looked at it but didn't have time to drive her. Offered me a fair price claiming to be developers who liked old cars and trucks. They used that excuse to buy them and park them with signs on their projects from time to time as marketing tools. I told him it was cash only, he showed up at work the next day with cash, two- one gallon zip lock bags worth.

Two days later a friend sends me a link similar to this one, guy has her on eBay asking double what I had her listed at. I had her on eBay before selling locally and through 2 cycles the most interest I ever got was 7.5k. Not nearly enough to sell.

I suppose everyone has got to make a buck but it sure feels slimy the way they go about it, doesn't it?

I tried flagging it, and the link does not work anymore?

Geo, you did the right thing!

Saw your post about sleeping well at night, and was thinking the same.
