Has anyone else tried to track down their old car(s)? I’ve been following mine and saw, by a miracle, it was headed to a salvage auction. I’m in the process now, so here’s where it sits

Sad to see an old car get abused, my first mustang (also a 2v) was mint when I owned it and now I see it around town every once in a while just completely trashed. I’ve got dreams of buying it back someday and restoring it

I tried to track down my old 73 firebird about 2 years ago. Come to find out someone found rust and parted it out :-(

Had a 89 GT I bought new. Sold it a couple years later. About 4 or so years later I got a call from Ford. Yep, Ford corporate. It was found abandoned in Saudi Arabia and Ford had only my name as the last owner. I still had the paperwork on there old owner and knew he totaled it about 6 months after he got it from me. No clue how it ended up overseas.

Tried finding my 72 Torino a couple times, never had any luck. I think it got parted out shortly after I sold it.

Wow! My grandpa was a medical doctor and took his 1970 challenger 440 six pack RT/SE to SAUDI and said they loved those cars there. I have seen a ton of terminators in dubai and figure this will be more common. Great story!
