Any chance of me getting the first post updated with me in position 7? I have u13fl732164 still as well as another 66 u13 for parts and a 66 u15 I've been gathering for the last two years to restore the early one. Some of these parts are hard to find without deep pockets.
Has anyone found any earlier roadsters. So far in the second oldest I've been able to find.

I've got U14FL733889. Any idea when it was built? It had an eyebrow grill the kick plate vin tag and no ford tag on the drivers side. No tailgate though PO removed it for some reason %)

My Bronco is U14FL732072. I can send or post some pics. I would day it's 95% original. Missing a rear bumper and the rear fenders are cut unfortunately. Other than that, things are in good shape. I've been working on bringing it back to good working mechanical condition for about a year now.

I took the front bumper off briefly over the summer to do some mount point repair, it's back on now.

Cool u14! I wonder if the roaster mirrors were special order, put on afterwards or what?

It's been with my family since the mid 70's and we knew the folks who bought it new. From what I've gathered from them, they were on there when they bought it. I was thinking maybe in the early days of production when Ford was trying to get them off the line, either they ran out of regular mirrors and put those on, or it was a mistake.
