As I said in my 'Hello Everyone' post,I have my Mustang on eBay.I have a little note in the auction that I might be intrested in a trade.I had 2 offers over night..A 1965 Chevy II with the original 289/2-Speed Powerglide.He said that it belonged to his 96 year old grandmother and it was literally one of those 'grocery-getters'.I forgot how many miles he said that were on it,but oh well.He said that it needed a complete restoration.The other offer was for a 1992 Dodge Dakota 4X4.I told him that I'd think about it if I had some pics and more info.Then,I kind of got into the mood of having a 4X4.
My grandad is currently restoring a 1978 Ford F-150 4X4.It's in great shape,and I'm actually kind of fond of it.Anyway,he's not going to sell it,but I checked Trader Online and found one to my liking.There's this guy in Florida that has a 1978 Bronco 4X4 with the 351/C6 combo.He says that he has documentation of everything that's been done to it,including at 100-mile old overhaul,12 inch suspension lift ,40X17 inch tires,(needs new ones he said),only 3 surface rust spots,original chrome,excellent interior,etc.Anyway,about as perfect as you can get I guess without having it completely restored.Anyway,he's asking $4,000.I didn't think that was bad,seeing that the suspension lift is $2,000.Don't worry,I checked .Anyway,he said that he might be intrested in a trade for my Mustang.He's suppose to call me back tomorrow evening and we're going to talk some more.He's also suppose to send some pics.You guys think that it would be a good deal?The only thing is,I think that it's going to be hard to talk him into delivering it up here <img src="graemlins/sweat.gif" border="0" alt="[sweat]" /> .
Oh well,there's plenty of options for that.He said that it was capable of housing 52 inch tires.I think that's just a waste of money myself unless it's going to be off-road 99.9% of the time.Anyway,I think that the tires that are on it now are going to cost ~$200 a piece .But anyway,I'll know something for sure tomorrow,I hope.It's a Bronco,so the rear top will come off.I kind of like that .I'll post the link ASAP.I'll go and fetch it when I get done here.
You guys let me know what you think!
