There were 3, one of each year Roadster.

Jimmy, you need to practice talking like Hank:

"There were 3, one of each year Roadster. No maybe it was 4 and one got stolen? My uncle had a car stolen from his driveway once. No I think it was a guitar off his porch. What's your name again?"

Would be interested to see what you find when starting to remove the paint, if it was quick re-spray you might even find that white stripe which would be pretty conclusive.

I believe those were stickers. They said "State University Department of Agriculture"

Are your plans to bring it back as it was on the tv series?

It's possible there may be archives with intel somewhere here in SoCal. If you guys know there were 3 to 4 Broncos then where did that information come from? Is there additional data from the show?
Putting that aside, just to find a '68 U13 is pretty exciting in itself.

Detail everything with a "real camera". And yes, when stripping down keep that eye peeled for residue from the sticker/decal on rear side. Skimp on nothing.

That information of 3 Broncos is from the show itself. The distinguishing features of each year were visible throughout their use.

Both will be parchment. The 66 had the silver. Thank you Franko, that means a lot!
