u13FL732193 alive and well in TX :)

Bobby, do you have any pictures of that one? There was a young couple last year at SC that drove an early 66 up from Texas. I didn't write down the VIN but it was an August build.

Maybe my 'Buttercup' isn't really that early, but it is the earliest one in my stable. I may have already posted it here, but if so, forgive me. It does indeed still have the original windshield and I will try to post pictures of the carlite codes. It is U13FL735752.

I love Buttercup! I have thought a few times about asking if you still had it. I am interested in seeing that Carlite code.

Buttercup looks really happy to have that roof off of her!

Thanks guys and girls! Terry, it's pretty rare when a Bronco leaves here with a new owner!;D

That metal top was bittersweet. It was ugly but very well made and it saved Buttercup's tub. Inside the tub is in great condition because of it.:cool:

Looking at my 66's I have this one with Carlite, date code 5L? no state code? Now that I found this one so faintly, I have to check another. Crap, can't load a pic.

Made a little more progress

Life has been a bit crazy of late but I did find a little time to wrench.
