Anyone remember BRONCO.COM

[BRONCOchild]

I remember this site being pretty cool. It offered a lot of classifieds and was filled with a lot of information on EBs. Apparently, bronco.com is no longer and the domain name is up for sale. You'd think FORD would purchase it.

Of course! That's where all the cool kids hung out in the late 90s.

Steve Nunez owned and ran it.

Been there. I think it went down not Long after cb.com started. I thought they lost the domain name or something.

Steve forget-his-last-name ran it.

Shannon Shirk was partial owner, I actually finally met him in person a couple months ago. Him and a friend owned it, the friend let it expire, they no longer have it. Wouldn't it be something to have now?

I'd guess whomever has the domain now just wants too much, maybe Jeep should buy it? Its too bad, would love to see it useful agian.

I believe I still have my BRONCO.COM t shirt somewhere.

Their classified is where I found and bought my 68. This was 1997.

1997?!? When you could still find a rolling project for anywhere between $500-$1500. Too bad I was a struggling college student. I would have bought many!

Uh yeah. I had a chance to buy 69 for $3500 couple of years later but thought it was too expensive. Was I wrong.

Spent hours on that site in the late 90s as a teenager obsessed with Broncos. The classified section was so cool to me. Met up with a guy parting out a Bronco in Shreveport and helped him pull the engine. A magical time. You could click the "Bronco Ring" icon and surf the Bronco web. Took a long time for pages to load back then.

Trying to remember which site had the live chat room for a while?

I was just thinking about the "bronco ring". It was a neat feature. There was one site, if my memory serves me right, called "Nate's Bronco". Although this person's site rarely changed, his detail to his Bronco restoration and pictures was stellar. That "bronco ring" was a sure rabbit hole!

When I bought my 72 in the early 90s the only info out here was from the printed newsletter from the ebr

I still have my "Bronco.com" shirt also.

Yes, N8's site was awesome because he had all the wiring diagrams out there. In fact, it might still be up?

Ask a few people about me describing my pain scheme back in the chat room days on BroncoFix! lol

 

[DirtDonk]

It's likely all archived (maybe even the chats!) somewhere online. We look up old stuff with "archive" searches here now and then to get the old "fordfuelinjection" stuff from Ryan.

Unfortunately no, because he hosted on a university server. But you can use the Wayback Machine to still find the content:
