Finally posting pics of my 1966 U13 roadster

[vindog]

These are a few pics of the 66 roadster. It is finally in a restoration shop. The desire is to put it back the way it came from the factory.
Question - Did 1966 roadsters get produced without a dash pad? I purchased it from the second owner in the 80's. It didn't have a gas pad, nor are there any holes for fasteners. Also, can anyone tell me approx when it was built and where in the range of roadsters produced does this one land?

739117, mid 8/65' build. would be about the 150th earliest still known to exist on my list.

Okie4570, thanks for the response on the vin build date. Does anyone in the forum know about dash pads either being included on all 66 roadster builds or were some produced without dash pads?

My August build U13 is without a dash pad.

McGirr455, thanks for the dash pad clarification. I won't be adding one as I don't see any holes from fasteners.

It was standard, but just about any item could be deleted.
