Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Detroit is excited to present this 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster U13. This rare first-generation âTrue U13" Bronco is a sight to be seen! This vehicle was only produced for three years (1966-1968) of the 1966-1977 first generation Early Broncos. There were 225,000+ first generation Broncos produced during those years. Only 5,000 of those units were Roadsters.
This 1966 Bronco is a rare U13 roadster model that is an even rarer âBudd" truck. Budd was the company that built the Bronco prototype and produced the bodies for the first 200 production units in August, September, and October of 1965 before Ford had their own tooling. That means this U13 is one of those first 200 Broncos off of the assembly line, although Ford ended up using the remaining spare Budd parts all the way through the 1967 model year.
This 66 Bronco U13 is believed to only have 17,161 original miles and 10 miles since the rebuild. It has gone through a body off restoration over the last 6 years. Powering this beauty is its original freshly rebuilt 170 CID 6 Cylinder engine, backed by its original & also freshly rebuilt 3-Speed Manual transmission. The exterior was professionally done to its factory color of Wimbledon White. The interior is recovered to the original eye grabbing silver vinyl. Some additional notable recent work done on the vehicle includes, head being redone for unleaded fuel, new water pump, thermostat, vacuum fuel pump, wires, cap, plugs, coil, hoses, belt, and carb rebuild, new clutch kit installed, new rear leaf springs, front coils, all new bushings, shocks, fuel, brake lines, new front and rear drive shafts, new sending unit and exhaust system. Everything is either new or rebuilt on this rare 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster U13! Options were very light on first generation Broncos and were a bragging right for simplicity. This vehicle is no exception, including options such as Hub Caps, Seat Belts & Vinyl Interior.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
