Bought my second EB without a title (He couldn't find it). He kept making excuses about why he couldn't locate it, so I started digging. Found a previous owner who said, "Where's my damned Bronco." Turns out the kid I bought it from had taken it on a stroll through a city park and did extensive damage. The old man's tags were still on it, so they came and found him. It all worked out in the end, but what a pain in the butt. Bronco Idiot Here!

OK those are all good. How about this...I bought a 66 in 71, 16 years old, drove it for 5 months, rolled it, tried to fix/hot rod it, took it all apart and basically wrecked most of what was left, then left it scattered all over the place for 45+ years....Just starting now to try make things right...

like i said before i just bought this bronco from a family friends son, i have not gotten the title yet, but after someone on here told me they didnt make a half cab in 1976 , when i got of work this morning i checked vin number and it only had a 11 numbers and letters, looked inside drivers door jam and sticker is still there made 10/71. also found out vin number starts out u15glm so that made it a regular bronco i believe- so someone did change it to a half cab. it has 1 repaint about 15 years ago,and is rust free . i will post pictures after i become a contributor in next few days.

My name's Jim, I'm an Idiot.
I bought my second Bronco before I was adequately educated. Was told it was a'66 halfcab with a rebuilt 200 and a paint job done by a guy that has had a lot of his cars go through Barrett Jackson. Only truth in the above sentence- it is a '66 with a 200.

Well since you guys are all going in front of me, hi my name is James and I am also an idiot. What makes me special or maybe more special than some, is that I am on Bronco number six right now. Yes I have bought and sold five Broncos. At one point I was upgrading Bronco‘s, a feted out 1975 first vehicle to a less rusted out 77, to a nicer 73 with Toploader four speed to and almost equally rust free 1973 with an automatic and all stock ranger package; all sold and gone by the wayside. Then it in a feeble attempt to resurrect the Bronco bug, I Began downgrading. I took our 1970 ranch Bronco and started to rebuild it as it was in less than desirable condition. Now I’m on to the previous Ranch Bronco, more of a parts bronco than is it in the worst shape. Price on broncos went up and wife, kids, house, etc makes the wallet a little on the thin side. And 2 lost titles both from family.
