F/S Broncos being rare

[broncobob58]

I've heard this many times people saying full size broncos are very rare ,but I still see many of them on a daily basis.I don't know if it varies depending on the part of the country (or other countries) they live in or what.You would think where I live in the northeast (rustbelt) that broncos would be rare.Granted I know they have been out of production for eleven years now and they weren't produced in the same numbers as F-Series in the same years.I remember going with my father to the ford dealer as far back as 1984 and only seeing one bronco on the lot and every ford dealer Iv'e been to until the end of production they never had more than a couple at a time but yet I still see them everywhere.I remember reading on ebay someone saying that broncos were very rare and later that day I saw a 92 plus bronco go by and further up the road I was following another .There is at least four other ones in my neighborhood.I see broncos all the time all over my state and the junkyards I go to always have at least one ,sometimes they may have four or five at a time and I'm like a kid in a candy shop going from one to another seeing what I can use.There is a number of used car dealers Iv'e been by that had a bronco on the lot and still commanding a good price.I know you don't see them in the same quantity as expeditions but broncos are out there and people still love them.Sorry to ramble on but it is something Iv'e been thinking about for awhile.

There are definately not as many Bronco's still on the road as other vehicles from the same years. I think, though, that as Bronco owners, we tend to notice the other Broncos on the road. Before I owned one, I don't remember seeing them everywhere. But since then, it does seem like I see one at every other intersection. Being out of production for so long, we will see fewer and fewer in the coming years as the weaker ones get sent to the junkyards so that the stronger ones can live on with their parts. (hopefully, mine is one of the strong ones [-o< )

Thats true for sure, I went to Edmonton with a friend, big city 5 hours south from me. Evry Bronco that went by I was like hey look a Bronco. Thats sweet. He doesnt share the same love for the Bronc as I. He was like way the **** are you pointing out Broncos? They are just Trucks. I said Blasphemy, dont talk like that or your walking. So we are driving along and an F-150 goes by, he goes hey look F-150. Then over and over again for every fricken F-150 that went by. Stupid people. Its not the same...

I drove by atleast 3 on my way back from Mass to CT today.

I have always noticed the Broncos on the road. When you dream of owning one what else is there? Three vehicles I always notice. Vette, 78 Trans Am ( thank you Burt Reynolds ) and a Bronco of any year. Matter of fact I almost bought a house because the man who owned it was restoring a '70 Bronco in the garage. I told him if he threw in the Bronco we would give him asking price on the house. He said, " no deal." We bought a different house.

So true, but truthfully I can find just over 10 or so full size broncos at any given time. Most are within 1 hour drive as well, which is nothing for a good deal on a bronco $-) .

I have a white 94 bronco. I take it to highschool everyday and there are 3 White full size broncos that go to my school. It's kinda cool though we all park in a line, kinda like a gang. If there were car gangs broncos would definatley be the trucks to have a gang. :lol:

I also park next to other Broncos when I pull into a parking lot and see one with an empty spot next to it. Sometimes that means walking all the way from the last row, but it's OK becuase I get to check out someone else's Bronco.

I do the same thing and sometimes when I go back to my truck there is another ford truck parked next to it.Last winter we had a blizzard in the northeast and the plows couldn't keep up with the snow,there was little to no traffic on the road and some of the cars on the road were stuck.The snow on the side roads was almost up to the bottom of my bumper.I had to go the store and on the main road coming in the opposite direction was another 87-91 bronco and as we passed the other guy gave me the head nod.

Is it just me or do you guys always back into a parking space:

1) Because I love the look of the front of my vehicle

2) For a faster get-away

3) To amaze my wife with my driving skills of a full size

I noticed that whenever I backed the Bronco into a space other trucks/SUVs would back in next to me.

I always do, even in front of my house. (look at photo in my sig) I'm not sure why. Could be all of the above. Or it could be that on cold, dark, foggy mornings you have less of a chance of hitting the *$$hole neighbor who always parks on the street directly across from your driveway. (even though there is room in his own driveway or twenty feet forward or back from mine!) :angry:

Sorry, got of on a rant there. >- But yes, I do park backwards almost every where I go. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

There's actually 3 bronco's within... 4 blocks of each other. Someone has an 89 (I had to ask one day), the family friend of ours on the other side of the block (Tony) has an 86, and then there's my 90. The day I got mine, Tony patted me on the back and said "Welcome to the club. Now get dirty and break something."

Don't you get tired of the OJ simpson comments? I tell someone that I own a Bronco and they automatically think of OJ, and have some comment. Thanks OJ.

on my way to work the other day i stopped to help out some dude in a 92. i know ill need the karma. its the only vehicle i would stop for without ******* involved.

 

[Seabronc]

I guess if you consider the number of other cars on the road, Broncos are rare but I see several every day, some of them are the same several . There are 3 of them at the airport where I work that are all owned by jarheads (Marines for those who are asking what the heck is a jarhead) ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Maybe its me but I love pulling into a parking space nose first just to see the reaction of people and the look on there faces when the big ass of my Bronco is backing out in there direction and have someone comment how do you see out of the rear veiw mirror and I say I don't thats why they put side mirrors on Vehicles ( PS I drive a commercial Vehicle for work and they don't have rear views ) OOOHH yea I near forgot! Theres about 5 Broncs in my area too LOL
