Surviving 1966 u13 Data/Stats/Etc

A few months ago Keith Richardson asked about how many 66' u13 were still out there. Over the last year or so I've written down the vin of every 66' u13 that I've come across on the web or in person(1 lol) whether for sale or just discussion, including those, and on Tim Hulick u13 registry page. Only problem is there's no way to confirm duplicates, as there are 117 66' u13 on the registry that don't list a vin.................so if they've sold and not updated or the new owner registered it, there could be duplicates. So if you've not registered yours, and you don't mind giving up your vin, PM me or post it here if you would. There for a couple of months, there were two or three 66' u13 per week showing up for sale with vins I didn't have, so I'm thinking there's more out there than folks thought. Edited, found some more vins in some older auction archives...more additions.
In 11/20' I started this project, here's what I've got so far for the 66 u13. If you're not 100% certain that I've got your info, please contact me. If you know of someone with a 66 u13 and they're not on FB, spread the word. Most of these stats are self explanatory. Any of the broncos that I don't have a vin for, (except for u13fl732150) I have actually laid eyes on, whether in person, by pics or by someone I trust to confirm that it's a 66 u13 and not a u14 or u15 missing doors, top or had later inserts installed. Since there are still so many without a vin #, it's still possible that there may be a few duplicates, and there could also be some with a vin earlier than u13fl732150. Most of the ones that I don't have a vin for were owners that I've visited with and they just never got back with me and gave their info. Still a work in progress, and will be ever changing. Updated 12-27-24........about the ONLY vins I've found in 2024 were built in August or September 1965.

Here's a breakdown of the vins I have based on when they were produced along the 65/66 production year, apparently they didn't produce a lot of u13 towards the end based on the ones that have been found. 72% of the vins I have were built in August/September 65'.

Great work, Okie! So cool to have all that compiled.

Thanks Todd, the duplicate issue is killing me but at least it's a start and gives some kind of idea about what's left out there. Do you own a 66' u13 or did you at one time?

You're on the Tim's website on the 66 u13 page is where I got that I guess, I couldn't remember for sure where earlier lol.

I have 3 more '66 u13's that I will get the vins and the details to you for the listing. One is U13FL746015 and it is identical to my Buttercup U13. (Bright package, Buckets and rear seat, Springtime Yellow, etc.) I'll get you the other two. They are U13FL75xxxx from memory..

You are the 66 guru Bobby.

746094 - on there twice？or did I read it wrong?

Click to expand...

It's on there twice because I have it located in two different states and have the first name of one owner and no name attached to the other one. I'm hoping the rightful owner sees it and can clarify for me.

is U13 NL887549 on your list ?? per vin plate should be J-40 , actual color is a very faded red almost orange !!!

And you bought it hopefully correct??????

What's the deal with 746084? It was in a wrecking yard near me up until about a year ago. I suppose it's being brought back to life?
