 |
|
"90 Eddie Bauer Fullsize Bronco, 105K, 4" lift, 35" tires. Red & Tan. 351 EFI, AOD, manual hubs and 4x selector shift on the floor. Power everything: windows, door locks... AC needs recharge. New battery, recent brake job, alignment, muffler, starter, solenoid, well-maintained...Very nice shape. Has oil but low oil pressure. Already replaced the sending unit so I think it's a clogged oil pump. I have too many projects already! This could be a great rig for someone who doesn't mind doing a little work to get it running again (it runs now, I just wouldn't drive it without oil pressure). Otherwise it's in excellent shape. Located in Battle Ground, WA. No reasonable offer refused!"
I went out and looked at it... she fired it up, and it was pretty clear that it didn't have an oil pressure problem... it has a gage problem.
I told her this... the engine wasn't making any sound it shouldn't have made... fired right up cold. I told her that it was worth a lot more fully functional then with an oil pressure problem... but I was also sure that it didn't HAVE an oil pressure problem. I told her that I wanted the rig, but I couldn't afford it at the good running price (I was thinking maybe $4500) She asked me what it was worth with the oil pressure problem... and I told her that if the problem WAS oil pressure... it might be worth 1500 to 1750. She asked me if I would buy it at $1750... and I said "Hell, yes!"
Done!
So, I drove it home, oil pressure gage fluctuating occasionally... running like a clock... tomorrow, I'm slamming in a set of manual gages just in case.
Bronco life is good.
This rig is so good, I'm gonna sell my 95 XL... and keep this one, since it's got the lift, the 35's and a much better interior than my federal Bronc.

Nice, I had an 89 Ford that I used to have to smack the dash every now and then to get oil pressure or to get the temp guage out of the red area.  |

Believe it or not, I just scored this:
One soft top, coming up!
The problem is that I got it intending to put it on my 95, which is that dark, Forest Service green.
I'm not all that sure about putting a black soft top on the 90 with its Eddie Bauer color scheme.

It will still look good. Besides, during the season that you are using the soft top it will be mostly down anyway 
That top is like my kid's and is great.

I'm pretty sure it's got the stock gears in it... With the AOD, 60 mph is just under 1400 RPM.
But.... this thing is exactly what I wanted. Even with the stock gears, the 351 has enough torque that it all works. |
