1975 Ford Bronco

Have you Ever wanted a 1975 Ford Bronco to impress the girls? haha! Well meet this 17-year-old Steven Ortiz of Glendora, CA, it took him two years and 14 trades long to make his old cell phone magically turn into a luxurious automobile, and you can do it too! what?


Starting with just an old cell phone a friend gave him, Ortiz (who should go straight to business school) used Craigslist to trade up for a better a phone, he gave up the phone for an iPod Touch, the iPod Touch was traded for a dirtbike.

Continuing on, he traded the first bike for better dirtbikes, the dirtbikes were swapped for a MacBook Pro that was switch with for a Toyota 4Runner, which was then bartered for a custom off-road golf cart. And 14 swaps, 2 years later the 4Runner landed him a nice Porsche Boxster.

Oritz’s story may remind you of Kyle MacDonald,who was able to trade one red paperclip for a house.
But unlike MacDonald who had a fanbase and a huge website, Ortiz did it all alone sitting in his room.
The high-schooler, who is a star in his school has revealed that the Porsche Boxster’s obnoxious maintenance costs have pushed him to start thinking about trading it for a Cadillac Escalade
