The Titan I missile has completed its renovation, and it's back in Kimball, in the same spot. The second stage of the missile is still detached, but the rocket looks great nonetheless.

The missile is currently being secured for restoration and display by the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver. This is fitting, as the Titan I was deployed at Lowry Air Force base where the museum is located (The ICBM base at Kimball was armed with Atlas missiles). I verified in 2014 that the upper stage is laying in the Kimball landfill.

Yeah, top's blown off and needs some TLC.
[Mike, 05/16/2011]
Visited this sight 21 Sept 2009. The top third of the missile is still missing.
[Dee, 09/29/2009]The top 1/3 of the missile is gone, blown away in a Wizard of Oz-type event. The bottom of the missile is still there.
The top of the missile is sitting in the landfill while negotiations continue with local groups to get it refurbished and reattached.
