As most of you know, I am about to put two Broncos on the market in the coming weeks. I have some reservations about one of them, a 1966 Roadster. My main hesitation with this truck is that it will wind up in the hands of someone who will simply chop it up for parts and chuck everything else to the side. I have no illusions about it's condition, and do not expect to get much money for what I have. Keeping all of that in mind, I have been considering some proposals.
I wanted to throw this out to the board/club and see what kind of feedback I can get.
I am willing to donate the Bronco to the club as a build vehicle. I know there are quite a few here that are looking at winter projects as well as future upgrades/repairs. The truck in question will require quite a bit of body work, including but not limited to: floorboard; inner fenders; door posts front and rear; rear wheel wells. As a long time Bronco owner, I know these particular repairs are common to most Broncos. So, a club clinic where these repairs are made, on a club owned truck, would provide a good bed for trial and error, free of mistakes on a member's truck. Additionally, the truck will need an engine, transmission, and wiring. These all seem like pretty good areas that members may be interested in learning more on.
Ultimately, I would love to see the truck restored and back on the road. The
of it winding up in a scrap pile simply does things to me that I cannot describe. And yet I know I will NEVER have the time required to do all the work myself.Once (if ever) complete, we (the club) can all decide on what to do with the finished product. A few
s that come to mind are a raffle (for club profit, or other reasons), auction, or whatever.Let me know what you guys think. I probably don't have to say it again, but I will. I'd love to see it stay on the road and just don't know if I can hand the title over to a seller without the clear knowledge that it will.
Just to give everyone a warm fuzzy that I wouldn't try and turn around and lay claim to the Bronco once/if it was restored or rebuilt, the donation would be accompanied by a bill of sale (I think $1.00 should suffice) and my handing over the title.
