Saw this in a Facebook comment, and checked it out. I’ve got updates on my Dad’s old trucks, and it’s not good.
-1984 Bronco. As previously told, it’s confirmed scrapped. Cryin’ shame. I really, really miss that truck, and as pathetic as it may sound, it still stings to think about it.
-’87 Ranger. This is the second most painful. This truck kickstarted my love of cars at 3 years old. Amazingly, despite being sold with plenty of rust and a lifter tick, it outlived the Bronco by almost 3 years.
As a 3 year old, those square headlights just did it for me. I thought it looked aggressive. Didn’t care about the lift, or the push bar, or the roll bar, etc.
And, the 2005 FX4 Ranger. I’d posted last February that it’d been in a wreck, but sold at auction, giving me hope it’d live another day. No such luck. Scrapped about two months before I posted that.
Now for some good news:
-’04 F-150: Still running around down south somewhere.
- ‘03 Ram 1500 HEMI: Ended up in Ohio.
- ‘95 F-150. Still around, same spot it’s been in. Five minutes from the house, and rusty as hell.
The site is vehiclehistory.com. All the info in this post came from there. Well, except for the ‘95 F-150. That came from my own two eyes.

I wonder what happened to my old suburban my dad sold in 01, and my 85 XJ I sold a few years later. I don’t think I have vins for them.

Was actually just looking at this stuff yesterday. Most recent update shows it as having been sold:
09-04-2017
IAA
WESTCHESTER IL
Phone No : 7084927000
Damage Type : Junk And Salvage
Disposition : SOLD
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Intended For Export : No
Also found pictures of it awaiting auction after they hauled it off.
Those came from advertisecarsfree.com (no idea how many cars end up there, but mine did (though the thumbnails were blurred, clicking on them go the full picture) https://advertisecarsfree.com/auction-2003-volvo-s40-for-sale-in-houston-tx-yv1vs27543f953951-44372771
The vehicle history site does list it as having a rebuilt title now, so maybe the buyer fixed it. It didn’t start, but there wasn’t any evidence of hydrolock damage, water in the oil, air box or anything like that. Just wouldn’t start (there was a lot of water in the exhaust which might have been a problem). Interior was getting pretty ripe from the flooding, though I did get out as much water as possible by hand.

Ugh now I really HAVE to try and find the VIN for my old 200sx SE-R. It was the first new car I bought myself and I loved the hell out of it. Don’t judge me!

No judgement here! I did everything to try to find that Bronco. When I started, I didn’t even have the VIN. I just had an old spare key and a dream.
