Bronco Barn Find: '66 Blue Budd

 See what I did with the title there?

For those that don't know the first 200 or so Broncos body tubs in 1965 (66 model year) were not built by Ford. They were built by the Budd Company.

The Budd Company was a Detroit fabricator founded in 1912, they became a huge supplier to the Detroit automakers for custom parts and pieces for concept vehicles. They even (as in this case) provided complete bodies.

This 1966 Bronco falls into that 1st 200 Broncos ever built. As you can see it is in poor shape, but as long as you have the frame and VIN tag, all else can be rebuilt. Of course, that kind of ruins the idea of having an original Budd body.
