So, here's the story, I've been riding bus 29 for the last 3 years, since 4 years ago, I've been eyeballing a 70's Bronco in a falling garage, and for the 3 years on bus 29, I had passed it 5 days a week on the way to school.
So, here I am, the weekend after graduation, I was with Jason checking out junkyards and used car lots for the hell of it, checking out old cars and trucks in the weeds. We pass by the house with the garage and the Bronco. Jason and I pull in and I find the owner, he was a friend of my farms old owner, and his family. He grew up in the area, lived alone, and such a story, he is a good guy.
He bought this Bronco for $115 like 15 years ago, running and everything, but he had it for his grandson, but he hadn't come back for it in 5 or 6 years. So we walk around and talk about it, and I ask him how much he wanted for it, he told me $50. After a little talking, he said he was going to grab me the title from his neighbor, and we could work out the paperwork. I also said I'd help him around his farm since he has very bad breathing problems.
Little rust, solid frame, 400hp original engine, good.
