Robert Lee, TXTitle Status
cleanOffered by a private seller in Robert Lee, Texas, this 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster project has remained in the same family since the 1970s. Powered by a 170 ci inline-six paired with a manual transmission, it retains vacuum-operated windshield wiper motors and the open-body configuration that gives the Roadster its distinctive appeal. The odometer displays 35,999 miles, with true mileage unknown. The seller reports that the engine and drivetrain remain operational and the Bronco can move under its own power, but the brakes need repair, and the vehicle requires restoration.
- Roadster Project: With its open doorways, folding windshield, and simple two-seat interior, this Bronco offers an appealing starting point for a restoration. The seller identifies it as a Roadster and provides VIN U13FL760968.
- Same Family Since the 1970s: Decades of family ownership give this project a personal history that its next owner can carry forward. It is now being offered for someone ready to take on the mechanical and bodywork needed to return it to service.
- Operational Six-Cylinder Drivetrain: The seller reports that the 170 ci inline-six and manual transmission remain working and that the Bronco can still be driven. Brake repairs are needed before road use, and buyers should plan on a thorough mechanical inspection and recommissioning.
- Period Details Still Present: Vacuum-operated windshield wiper motors remain in place, along with a straightforward metal dashboard, Bronco fender script, and a Ford-lettered tailgate. The seats and wheels have been replaced, so the vehicle is not being represented as entirely original.
- Restoration Needs Shown in Detail: The photos document weathered paint, body corrosion, and rust-through around portions of the windshield frame. The seller identifies the windshield frame as the worst rusted area; additional corrosion and deterioration are visible around the doorway edges, floors, and other body surfaces.
This Bronco’s appeal begins with its Roadster configuration, long family ownership, and working six-cylinder drivetrain. Its open cabin and uncomplicated presentation offer a clear sense of the vehicle’s character, while the detailed photos help prospective buyers understand the restoration ahead. For an enthusiast seeking an early Bronco to rebuild, this example offers a project with a known family connection and several retained period features. The next chapter will require bodywork, brake repairs, and a comprehensive assessment of its mechanical and structural condition.
