Bronco on fire!

[selvaggia]

I have had a 1969 Bronco for 10 years. I have decided to sell it a few months ago.

I had the carburetor replaced some 20 miles ago because it had caught fire. Well, it caught fire again, and this time I couldn't stop it. I had to call the firemen!

A lot of stuff burned under that hood. The body wasn't compromised, except for the hood that had to be broken into.

On my ads I was asking $11,500, aiming to get $10K.

Now...I am not sure if I want to go through the fixing, or just sell it as it is. It seems that bronco lovers like to pick their parts anyway.

I am a woman, and know nothing about mechanics. I had everything fixed just to enjoy it.

I know it's a difficult question since you haven't seen the level of the damage, but how much could a partially burned Bronco be worth?

Body is ok, tires and wheels are ok, power brakes seem ok...everything except for what's under the hood...

Is it an impossible question, or you could enlighten me?

Thank you. I am attaching some pictures of the post-fire bronco.

I can't see any of the body from the pictures but if it is a stock 69 Bronco with the usual rust and worn out parts, in my opinion you would never get $10,000 dollars for it. Fire or no fire. But if it has a lot of restoration and new parts then I can see that price being reasonable. I really have no idea what kind of money you could get for it with the fire. A good idea would be to check out E-bay and maybe local papers to see what other people are asking for the same condition Bronco. Hope I helped a little. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

well, I had a bunch of ugrades done, and it has NO rust. it has/had a high performance engine, power brakes..bla bla. I showed it to a guy who sells bronco in BH and he told me I could get 10K. Now...It's park in front of my house waiting for my decision: **** it/fix it/sell it. Not much comparable stuff out there, but thanks anyway.
