U13 Paint Question

[PickleJar]

I'm just curious and figured someone on here would know. It seems to me like all the U13's you see are either turquois, springtime yellow, pebble beige. I've seen a black, and red one.

Were U13's limited to certain colors, or were most early model years those colors also?

The U13s were available in all the '66 colors.

...and some specials

My U13 was painted Air Force Blue.

My August 65 U13 had the beige paint code on the tag, but not a hint of beige anywhere on the body...red primer, and marlin blue all over.

Someone should be able to get those statistics from Marti Reports for the 67 and 68. Of the 345 66' u13 that I have vins for and that I was able to get the colors on, here's what I've got so far.

8-38
A-5
W-16
F-33
B-28
M-20
H-11
J-38
L-8
S-1 poppy red

I was actually trying to look a bit myself and CJ Pony has a list of color codes for those years, and I guess when compared to later years, there just weren't as many color options it seems like to me...

There were 10 options in 66, 13 options in 67-68...

1973 has 18 options...

Really just 9 colors for the 66, that S Poppy was a special order and a late 66 build.
