I sold (Like A Dumb Ass) a Wimbledon White, 66 Roadster about 5 Years ago to a guy in CA.

Nicks Trix did the build for me. It may still be on his website.

It was an August Build U13. Don't have the VIN info anymore though.

Who would that be? you remember?

No.... It was a middle aged man and his wife. They drove all the
Way to nc to get it. He wasn't a "bronco" guy but liked 4x4s

I keep a file on all the roadsters that I come across. Some people will not give me the complete VIN. I have around 260, 66's, 14, 67's and 8, 68's on file. If any one has or knows of please send me the VIN and pictures if possible!! I do not keep the owners info, only the VIN's.

RG3 your vin # was U13FL737807, early but must have been late in the month

 

[Scott C.]

That's the white one with the 4 bbl six. How did that setup do?

Here's the old girl #U13FL732158. She needs some TLC, but I'm keeping her original and will be slowly doing a preservation.

Chris, Did you ever put those bumpers on it that sold you??

I don't know what you are talking about??

It has a pair of White '66 F/R bumpers that are in the same shape as the Bronco, that's all I know.

I love it! Are those narrow bumperette holes in the front bumper? I prefer the look of narrow bumperettes. I've had 66's with regular spaced bumperettes, and 67's with narrow ones. Anyone on here know when the y changed and then changed back?

 

[House]

No clue, but narrow is cooler...

Yeah they are the narrow version no clue why they changed it back.

My 66 half cab vin is U14FL751048. Has all the early 66 oddities that has been listed.
What month would it have been made and unit number.
TIA
Terry

Update: I just recently acquired U13751049 roadster.
I now have consecutive production numbered Budd Broncos
