| Notes: |
I bought this vehicle from a gentleman that owned a towing business called Jackson's wrecking in Kamiah Idaho. Terry Jackson (the gentleman) also had a wrecking yard and was in the business of buying and reselling used vehicles. Terry had a dealership license and would buy vehicles at the Spokane Auto Auction. This Bronco was being sold at the auction in what they call the ''heavy metal division'' In other words- It was on it's way to being crushed!! Terry figured the reason why it was in this division was because of the age and mileage (the odometer rolled over). Terry bought it as a dealer vehicle and made arrangements with the auto auction to have it floored at his business in Kamiah. The tires were completely bald 16's but Terry was able to get some new 33 inch tires on it -these tires are on it now. He didn't feel there was really anything wrong with it. It just needed some good TLC.
I was considering a career as a historian. (I'm 22 yrs. old know and going to college studying history ) Part of being a historian is going to old town sites and historical places to do research and actually seeing and taking pictures and videos of these places to add with your project. Well naturally, the only way to access these places is by trails, backroads, kelly humps, you name it!- That's were I needed a good 4x4 offroad rig. At the time I had no idea what I was going to use for a vehicle so I could go and do research. My Mom was working down at Jackson's Towing as the bookkeeper. When Terry brought the Bronco to Kamiah to sell it, my Mom was excited the first time she saw it because she knew right away that it was what I needed! She really liked the fact that it had so much room in it. 4 people could fit in it easily. She bought it for me and I've had this old Bronco for two years now. It seems to be working out just fine. It does have a few minor problems-but nothing major. So that's the story behind my Bronco, Thanks for reading it [: |
