• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

dumb question? what is a U13?
\\

its a Germany submarine ;)

U-13 may refer to one of the following German submarines:

SM U-13, was the lead ship of the Type U 13 class of submarines; launched in 1910 and served in the First World War until sunk on 12 August 1914
During the First World War.
German submarine U-13 (1935), a Type IIB submarine that served in the Second World War and was sunk on 31 May 1940
German submarine U-13 (S192), a Type 206 submarine of the Bundesmarine that was launched in 1973 and scrapped in 1997


i guess that 68 model is still highly classified ;)

Well Roger, you better be. I don't think finding a 68 U13 is equal to making a long with a couple of nasty breaks in! I think it's more like a "hole in one" because I have made a bunch long putts but I have never found a 68 U13 which likewise I have never had a hole in one either! :cry: I'v been close but no cigar. :p

I'm too lazy to look it up, but how many '68 U13's are there in the registry now? It's got to be less than a dozen, which means 200 of them are still out there...somewhere. Get busy you all, it's like American Pickers, only with Broncos.

Including the Race Bronco that Andrew Norton and Todd Zeurcher owns, there are 8 listed in the registry. So, there are 204 unlisted ones to search for. Half of that may still exist.

No way 1/2.... I bet only less 10-12% Ford made 225,000 from 66-77. If your theory would be correct then there would be 114,500 left of all early Broncos. There is no way that many Bronco are left out there to day. Considering how and what people used them for. It was more or less like a disposable truck especially the U13 models because they were the cheapest compared the U14's and the U15's.

I know the survival rate of Broncos would be better in the States like CA, TX, and AZ but here in the mid-west I bet most were scraped less then ten years after their production year just because of rust.

I have no facts on any of this it's just my opinion but it would be a great thing to try to do a research on. Has any tried to take a Bronco count here on this site???

Thus why I said "may still exist". I figured there is actually less, I was just giving a high estimate. But since there was only 212 of them, it's possible.

I think it would be neat to do a count on this site. It would be a small number compared to the 225k, but it would still be cool to know.

Yes... I think it would be cool know too! What we should do we politely ask our faithful and fearless leader Jon Hanna. :) Maybe he could set up with his magical web site wand. ;)

Maybe break it down into U13's U14's and U15's and and if possible years too. Then we can compare year and models survival rate to original production numbers. This would include running and non-running Bronco but no "USE TO HAVE or title with glove box" Broncos but could have a list of known scrapped/parted Broncos too. This would tell us about on how many Broncos gave it their all :cry: to help save another EB existence. ;D

Anyone have any thoughts on this???
