I saw that too and wondered at first, but it has the '70 and newer side marker lamp on the front. Thank you though!

I may try to contact the last known PO soon, and see if he knows it's whereabouts. I really want this one back!

I know the feeling. I am trying to find an old mustang of mine.

UPDATE:

I spoke with the last known PO today. He said they sold the Bronco about 5-6 years ago. The new owner lives in North Alabama! But, there is some good news, and some bad news. The good news is, the new owner restored the Bronco and put new uncut quarters in it. The bad news is, the guy I spoke to told me he bets $25k wouldn't take it. So it looks like this one may never be back in our corral.

That doesn't mean I'm not going to at least try. ;D

I've got a name of the current owner (hopefully), and I'm going to try to get into contact with him. I will try to at least go see it and take some pictures. Of course, I'm going to ask him to sell it as well, and tell him if he ever decides to, I want to be the first to know!

Hey al least you know it's still around and is being treated well. I hate I didn't get to talk to you at super cel. I was running around to much. Your truck looks great! Yours was my dad's favorite.

Well congrats on getting this far. The odds were slim...but the Bronco still exists and you found it. At the very least you can give the guy your contact info and let him know what that Bronco means to you! Good job!

I spoke with you a little, so that counts. I was running around too much myself, taking tons of pics and whatnot.

I'm shocked that mine is someone's favorite! Cool! Tell your Dad I said thank you for appreciating my rig, and thank you for the compliment!

I'm happy someone else is caring for it. At least it isn't sitting rusting away, or being bashed through the woods.

Thanks, I'm excited that I got this far. I figured it was long gone, never to be heard from again.

I'm going to try to get the owner's phone number and give him a ring.

Good luck with that man and glad to read that you do know where it's at...

I wish I could find the 75 I had when I turned 16, I sold it a couple of years later to a guy in Nashville TN. Baja it didn't happen to be you did it? Would have been 1992-1993

I'm turning up the heat on this.....

I've called the Tag/Title office and the insurance company today, and neither of them have any record of it under Dad's name (outdated and possibly never insured).

I just got off the phone with the previous owner, and he said he wouldn't have any old registration. They actually sold it probably 12-13 years ago.

The man who bought it's name is supposedly Gene, and possibly lives around Huntsville or New Hope and may have a friend with an original paint '68-'69 from the New Hope area.

If you have any info, please let me know.

 

[JGbronc]

Bump....I still have hope of finding it.

 

[blamejane]

Let's find it! Glad to see you aren't giving up JG

Keep after it..

Decided to bump this thread. I spoke with a Bronco owner in the New Hope area and he has heard about a "Candy Apple Red" one that is supposed to be really nice. I'd say it's very possible that it's the one. Unfortunately he did not know the owner.

I have STILL not come up with the VIN. Running low on options of finding it too. %)

Have you considered putting a CL ad out for that area? They may or may not reply even if they see it, may be worth a try though.

I already have. No replies. May be worth another try.

Still pulling for ya here....

 

[Revelation]

Aerial Recon via Google and Bing maps?

 

[JGbronc]

Anyone have any other ideas about finding the VIN?

 

[JGbronc]

BTT....Still not found.
