Grill has been replaced along with fenders, who knows about the hood but the color all matches. No eyebrow grill but this and the outside front clip have probably been replaced.

Hi everyone, first post here figured i would share the 66 that I was given. A short time ago i brought home a 66 that i inherited from my grandfather, vin on it is U13FL732269. It was his since i want to say 73 if i remember right (still waiting on my aunt to send me the title) I feel very lucky to have gained this although under the circumstances I’d rather have the man back over a vehicle any day, but I’m excited to eventually get started on fully restoring this ol gal to her former beauty. I don’t seem to have any rights to post a picture of it (probably cause of the zero post status) Anyway I’m very glad i found this forum and I’ve been digging around a bit just to learn and I’m sure once i get this project started i will be in here all the time and you all will get sick of my constant questions hahah.

You can pay a few bucks to be a contributor and then you can post pics (it's not related to post counts like some other forums). That's a very early production number, obviously, probably within the first couple days of production. Would love to see pics!
