sevfiv Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 okay, i have found a few (cheap) scouts of this model, but none are anywhere near here. price ranges were anywhere from $350 - $5000, depending on condition, how well it ran (if at all). i am looking for something on the cheaper end, and not pristine (although if it is, that's great). must be a strictly sixties model, 80 or 800 only. and no offroad mods on it. here are some pictures from ads (and one kept-up example) oh, willing to drive to get it, just within 300 miles or so...

MidtownCoog Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 So I hope you have a good mechanic, or mechanically inclined yourself.I am actually in the market for a VW Thing convertible. That, or a bay boat. Can't decide which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I want to get a Bronco... Something about it just sends desire in my heart. I usually see such autos along Shepard/Washington. They have alot of dealerships (As mentioned above). Good Luck, hope you find one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
