This thing just doesn't look right ? Check it out - no VIN, no registration and no title, plus the funky latex paint cover-up over the white. Beware all! Check out site below.

Thats one stolen looking Bronco i like the painted axle hub without taking the wheel off, you can see the overspray on the wheel

jakeslim · 03-16-2004, 04:16 PM

are you f'n kidding me! THIS LOW LIFE IS SELLING THIS FOR PENNIES. Check out picture from the car that the guy took. What a joke. NO one paints a car like that. I am going to email the guy and ask for a VIN

Maybe you can forward the link to the police and have it checked out.

The seller is already off to a good start:

"Feedback Score: -1 "

I'm thinking a 1st grade class project was involved in painting that thing...or a complete idiiot... Probably the latter.

Man that is one funny looking Bronco. What was the guy thinking, and who paid over 2G's for something like that?

I live right next to Burbank or as he calls it "Big Bad Burbank" with the address in the background I should be able to find the house. Don't know the street but I have a guess from the house style in background. I could go check it out

Check out the doctored license plate in the picture that's upside down - 3PR.. looks like the next letter was a W that is half covered by the added Z. This things got stolen written all over it. I love the paint, but they should have washed the roller more often. I grew up in Burbank, man that street looks familiar.

Land Cruiser Junky · 06-11-2004, 05:01 PM

Just looked at the interior pic. There's an open can of red paint on the driver seat. He didn't even let the paint dry before he took that pic. And the thief, I mean seller smokes Marlboro. What does the pic from the car tell us? That either his girlfriend has really manly hands, or he goes in and gets a good french manicure often.

rckcrwlr87 · 06-15-2004, 10:51 PM

I like the red painted grant steering wheel with the electrical tape on it

1971_CJ5 · 06-16-2004, 02:01 AM

the steering wheel is taped up to hide the 1/2" gap he had to cut out to slip the anti-theft bar the original owner had on it...

That pic with the chics manhands in the lower left corner was probably taken before it was stolen

then why si the funky paint in that picture if they scouted it out??

Land Cruiser Junky · 06-26-2004, 11:49 PM

Yeah, Just the fact that the seller posted all of the pics and the fact that the Bronco has all of that f'd up red paint all over it says that the thief was in on the drive by pic. What we do know is ..... That thing is stolen, and somebody screwed up what was probably a really nice Bronco.
