That's super depressing news.... I feel bad for the shop owner too since he lost his shop.... but it's a huge bummer that you lost your Bronco from no fault of your own..... It is good news the employees weren't hurt though.


Is the shop/your insurance going to get you a replacement Bronco?

Hi Bubba, The fire was at our mechanics house, they lost everything. I have a
1996 eddie bauer bronco in the garage. It does not go out in the winter or the
body would rust in no time. We would like to eventually find another bronco.
All the Broncos i see in Ohio are rusted so we will probably have to go down
south to find one. I'll post a photo of the 96 after the winter is over. Thanks for
your reply,sobering indeed re the fire. Kirby
It will be interesting to see what insurance covers. We had about 6k in
the Bronco. It had no rust,great lookin,4spd. fun to drive.I miss it.

Go to Washington state, seriously beautiful condition trucks out there. Really surprising actually.

89 bronco fire.

Thanks for the info rollerstud! I will definately check into it.
We would be more than willing to fly in to pick up a nice
bronco.We'll probably wait until spring to think of a
replacement Bronco.

I just want to tell everyone thank you for the encouraging
comments. This board is full of class people who really
know their Broncos. I want to thank Bubba for his help
removing about a 2" long scratch on our 96 Eddie Bauer
bronco. The area looks like it new, no hood repaint necessary.

Thank you guys God Bless you for your advice and kind
comments! Kirby.
