Let's see....Eddie Bauer, 1979, ALL ORIGINAL ,$30K....and NO pictures.
What else could be wrong with this add?
If I was asking $30,000 for something, I would at least have some good pictures of it!

Also, seeing that it's a Pennsylvania truck and has deffinitely been driven (157,000 miles) I would seriously question the "no rust" statement.

Yeah, I was thinking mid-90's too and figured I'd see what I could find out.
Here's a question: Does anybody remember an "Eddie Bauer" Bronco II?

Yes. My uncle wanted one, but could not afford it...., he settled for an XLT. Fun little rig. It would have been fun to stuff a 302 in it.
