MI Early '66 U13 with a bunch of later stuff on it

BajaFresh75 · Apr 6, 2018

Anyone one know this Bronco? Nice early vin, but not much '66 left on it. I get the later tailgate, hubcaps, bumpers, seats, and even the dash knobs, but not the T shifter.
Looks like the soft top rail holes and insert holes were filled in also.

I was going to post it in the Earliest Broncos thread last night, but didn't get around to it. 280 would be #15 I believe. Looks like a very amateur restoration.

Would be the 15th earliest on our list here. Even though a first week or so build, I don't see anyone paying $45K for that. I don't get the knobs even, since the correct style can be purchased from the vendors.

Edit: typing while I was typing again and beat me by a minute lol

Like you I am scratching my head why someone would go so far and not do it right. While there are many things to note, I was looking at the engine compartment and wondered about the fender bolts - should they be painted?

there is something wrong about the stance. the front end looks goofy, way to much space between tires and fender.

The rear tub seems to be drooping also......

Later model master cylinder..wrong tcase shifter..wrong signal lenses in grill...

The list of not 66' is almost too long to list. What's the air filter housing sourced from?

Air filter is from an Econoline with a straight six
