All the gremlins have been worked through and this is a turnkey driver with no existing work needed to be done. I have a clean Florida title in hand under my name.For further pictures please go to the BuildaBronco Facebook site. Look under pictures, then albums, then 66 where you will see the Bronco and engine build. On May-18-15 at 04:22:09 PDT, seller added the following information:I have been asked overnight if I had a hard top. I do not. I traded the top for the correct 66 chrome bumpers that the vendors do not sell. Hard tops are available throughout Craigslist for $500 +/-, also from Bronco vendors. Most people these days try and sell the hard top to buy a soft top as it's fun cruising in a classic truck with the top down. Removing and reinstalling a hard top is typically a multi person multi hour job, and storage becomes an issue. This Bronco does come with a matching Rampage Diamond White soft top. This top can be run as a Safari Top covering all passengers heads. Windows can be zipped out or put in place for complete protection from the elements. I can't add anymore pictures here but message me if you would like a picture of the Bronco with the top on. On May-18-15 at 04:28:25 PDT, seller added the following information:Additionally, yes I am open to honest fair offers. Please remember when considering an offer that this is a complete professional restoration with 50k invested. On May-19-15 at 04:08:28 PDT, seller added the following information:Question from last night. YES it also has power steering.
