I saw it on the book of faces as well-including the "brag" on what they paid for it originally- sure he is telling everyone what they sold it to a "sucker" for which I am sure since you are in the know, you know that as well-not. The joke will be on them when it is restored and makes the appropriate rounds with documentation etc.....
Anyway to your deal- "over here" is where the other thread specifically mentioned no more pics etc. The new owner had plans etc.
I am reminded of junior high when we could not wait to spill the beans on something we saw or heard because it was the cool thing everyone was talking about and we wanted to be cool.
Thank you
I'm on several, but not all of the Bronco groups on Facebook. Did the sellers son post it to one of them, or just on his personal page? I looked at his page, and did not see mention of a price his dad bought or sold it for and he did not seem to be a "Bronco guy" per say. I know what it was bought for and have a good idea of the range it was sold for, but that is not mine to discuss either.
When it comes to rare and interesting finds, especially when they surely cost someone a bunch of coin and likely set a record for a barn find sale price, it is always just respectful to let them reveal what they want in the own time.
There are at least two people on here who have known of its location and had photos of it for 18 years, but out of respect for privacy as requested by the previous owner, they never posted them. The sellers son was not much more part of that deal than I was just because he was standing there and I was on the other end of the phone when Seth was looking at it. I'm sure if Seth knew the son would post it, he would have had him specifically agree not to.
It is just common courtesy and respect for other peoples business (especially the new owners) when they want to let the cat out of the bag on their own terms.
Slowleak is correct, the world will not stop spinning, but some common courtesy goes a long way. There will be plenty of info out there in days, weeks and months to come I am sure, so I will have to agree with Karl, a little patience would not have hurt anyone.
If you have some real inside scoop, then share that too if you are going to put it out there, if you just happen to stumble on some pics with no insight to the story or history, that is really not the scoop, just some pics.
I've shared all I can, including the VIN pic since many of us have seen the rubbing for 16-18 years now as well a a few other comments now related to the photos that were posted.
This will likely be researched and documented enough during its restoration that someone could probably wright a book about it when it is all said and done.
