Many of us say kleenex instead of tissue, xerox instead of copy, or band-aid instead of bandage, despite knowing the proper term. The off-roading world finds one more example in the ford bronco. To many, the word bronco defines an array of capable, feel-good fun machines that can be found in all the places we'd rather be, from the mountains and the woods to the beaches and the dunes. And classics like this killer roadster are an excellent reminder why. As an authentic u13 bronco, it's one of roughly 200 known to exist. The beneficiary of a body-off, nut-and-bolt restoration that was completed in february of 2016, it's a pristine collectible that makes excellent use of many nos and hard to find parts. And, sporting a reliable 6-cylinder/3-speed drivetrain, it's a fun cruiser for folks who are ready for a bit more than just some mud-caked toy! Well, it pretty much boils down to production. Ford only made the u13 bronco roadster from 1966 to 1968. And, although 1966 was the biggest year for the model with 4,090 roadsters sold, overall production was essentially capped at 5,000 units. Now, we all know the life of a utility. These things are driven hard, thoroughly enjoyed and often left to the elements during the off-season. But, the caveat to that observation is: most door-less broncos are actually regular u14 and u15 models that have been shamelessly modified to emulate authentic roadsters. To say correctly restoring a u13 is a challenge is a bit of an understatement. The '60s was an era when detroit continuously updated their offerings on a yearly and sometimes semi-yearly basis. So, finding parts, sometimes produced for only months, for the 'unglamorous' model of a 50-year-old truck becomes a very tedious task. Nearly every generation of bronco.
