Pretty low numbers in the Statistics box!

This is the partial Marti on a '67 N code U13 that is in the lineup to be restored....Hopefully pretty soon.;)

Here's the report from this 76'.
I am told they were ordered in all yellow, then modified @ Waldoch Crafts Inc. upon delivery.

That is extremely cool Mono. Great to have the old documentation.
And at $1300 bucks, that was a crap-ton of money for an optional package back then! Adding roughly another 25% to the cost of the truck if I'm remembering correctly.
Should make it fairly rare I would think. First one I've seen that I can remember anyway.

The funny thing is, mine came with a white top. I always thought it must have been ordered that way, but this shows that's the way ford decided to make it. I wonder why it wasn't body color like the special decor package is supposed to be?

It was a no-cost option and you (or the ordering dealer) could specify it that way.

Here's my special paint code '73 U15.

Mine was built 08-16-73.
So late it's almost a '74.
It does not have the hooded transmission indicator on the steering column, but did have the '74 steering column bearings.

That kind of stuff is neat to me....

Seeing how there are not many U14's in this thread, I ordered a Marti for my old snow plow Bronco.

What I see that's interesting on my Marti is a "Retail Order"
According to Marti a Retail is – an individual comes to a dealership and orders an as yet unbuilt vehicle.
Why did it take 10 months to sell?
Left factory 12-13-71
Sold 10-20-72

On occasion, a customer will make a specific order, then "piss back" (the official term in the Ford dealership I worked at) and the dealer is then stuck with the unit. That probably isn't too bad unless the customer ordered some hideous color combo or very undesirable combination of options. I have also seen a sales managers order some really odd stuff that didn't sell. Sometimes the regional sales managers will push some really obnoxious combinations. Yours doesn't seem to fit that description, but I mention this for the sake of discussion.

I have run into the "Lot Queen" issue a lot studying the build sheets of other makes, where a vehicle sat on the lot for a long period. Usually, they were small dealers with an incompetent sales staff. Back when it was allowed (after about '67 it wasn't) you could take a leftover vehicle and retitle it for the next year. I ran across a Jeep pickup that had been built in late 1963 as a '64. When it didn't sell in '64, in October it was retitled as a '65 and it was finally sold in mid-1965. Close to two years on the lot. I have seen many such issues in the two makes I have studied the most, Jeep and Scout (be kind to the competing makes, gentlemen ( : < ).

If you can research the dealer it was sold from, you might find it was a small and/or that was poorly placed to sell Broncos... like mid-town Manhattan.
