True un-restored and uncut 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, U13 vin code. Built in October, 1965. Bought from original owner's son in 1994 in Charlotte, NC. 75,103 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but only 1,000 miles since then. Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006. Pulled out of storage last month, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, and then detailed. To the best of my knowledge, the Bronco has never been wrecked. I've certainly never wrecked it and I was told when I bought it, that it had never even been in a fender bender. The gas tank leaks when full. New high-quality, custom-made seat covers (front buckets and rear bench) to match the original factory spec vinyl, including gray color (only color available on the '66 models) and texture, installed in 2000. Not sure if the paint is original (it's not been painted since I've had it) but is in very good condition. Small, slight bubble rust under paint in one place on front right quarter panel, near bumper. Slight surface rust on original floor pans; slight surface rust on the original bumpers. When I say "surface", I mean surface. Just had all fluids changed, new tires (235/75R15 Goodyear radials), new battery, new brakes, rebuilt master cylinder, new right front brake cylinder, new front axle seals. My mechanic could not find a new distributor cap or rotor button, so it "bucks" a little on take off. Less than 5,000 Roadsters were produced by Ford. How many are still around? And how many are still around in this condition...uncut, unmolested, and un-restored? My guess is less than five.

It came with canvas doors (mounted on metal rod frames) and canvas top. There are no door hinges, just holes to receive the metal rod frames at the bottom. The current door frames are original; the canvas doors and canvas top are replacements the original owner did in the 1980's. I've posted a picture from a few years ago showing the Bronco with the doors off and the top rolled up in the back and on the sided. I have a picture somewhere of the top completely off but cannot find it right now; if I find it, I'll post it.

The reserve is $15,000. I have a file of documentation from the original owner, including maintenance records showing that the mileage is actual, a set of 1966 Ford repair manuals for the F100s and Bronco, and a 1966 owner's manual (vin does not match this Bronco). The down side is that all of this is buried in storage and I'm currently in Afghanistan. These items are not included with this auction but I will gladly mailed them to the winner, at zero cost, when I get back and go through my storage. There is no timeline on this, so that's why I didn't mention it in the listing.I have a NC title for the Bronco and I've attached at scan of it. When I decided to sell it, I had my Dad pull the truck out of storage and register it again in GA; since it was over a certain age (he can't remember what year they told him), they wouldn't issue a title, they said it will sell with a simple bill-of-sale, so that is what the buyer will get. I will also include the NC title.On Feb-06-13 at 00:58:32 PST, seller added the following information: I had this question but they system wouldn't post the reply here automatically, so here it is...
