This is an early '66 Springtime Yellow U13 that's been hiding a long time. It's has heavy patina, but has a refreshing cool look to it! It runs and drinks out of a jug and doesn't stop worth a crap!;D;D

Pretty sure I have the twin, even down to the elk sticker. Except it has a little more rust...

Bronco Museum..
fuel system, brakes, and repair the lip on the rear fenders. To me, its more appealing than a restored one. I have another identical 13 that is in the lineup for a restoration. It's the same color, Springtime, red tribar stripe, single stripe on the reveal, bright package, early features too, but not as early as Buttercup.

I still like it, I just think it needs to move to another facility that's a little further north! ;D



Hey since you are so good at naming them, I'm gonna need you to name mine!

Dennis,
Could you send me the application for the assisted living facility? I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row to make sure I end up at the facility of my choice. In case I loose my mind I don't want to just be thrown in any old retirement home.
