CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER | |
---|---|
Like the original Bullitt car, this is a true "S" code mustang fastback. Not only this car is the closest it gets to the real Bullitt car, but it's a great investment because "S" code mustang are very sought after. This is not a numbers matching car. If it were, the price would be significantly more. Instead this is a right era block, meaning the block is from the same period. The block is only one year apart from initial built date, which makes it a correct year for Bullitt Mustang. It's difficult enough as is to find a matching block, but finding matching heads is another challenge. Especially identical heads with matching dates on left and on the right head. Both heads are dated 8AE (1968) and the block is dated: 8D17, (1968). Being only a year apart, it's the closest it gets to a numbers matching. What makes this car even more special is the block is a passager version of a 390 FE and not a truck one. Back in 1960's there were two version of the 390 FE block. All Mustang, Fairlane, and Galaxy came with a passager 390 FE block. All trucks were 390 FE truck version. The market is filled with truck 390 FE blocks, which makes them inexpensive. On the other hand, there are very few passager version of the 390 FE left, which brings the value up and be prepared to pay around $7,000 to $12,000 depending on condition. The difference in the two version of the blocks is not only the value but stroke. Many car builders cut cost by installing a truck version of the 390 FE in fastbacks. Customers who buy those cars think that they are getting a true "s" code but instead they are not because those cars don't live up to what they are met to being the wrong version 390. This car comes with the correct 390 FE block, that has the right stroke in standard bore cylinder as the day it came out of the the factory. This is the reason why this car is a true "s" code and stands out from all the rest of the fastbacks. Which makes it not only a great investment and gives you a chance to own a piece of history.The body was a full rotisserie restored. The floor panel were replaced with one piece panel like it came from the factory and not in small sections like most restoration are. Both quarter panels were removed and replaced with the 1968 style ones were installed. Not only to match perfectly with the Bullitt car but to match the 390 FE block. The paint was a PPG Highland Green with Metallic and high solid clear coat was covered six times giving enough room to keep the car shining. The car is rust free and over 650 labor hours spent on the body in order to make it look this good.CHECK OUT THE VIDEOhttps://youtu.be/ZS5d8O29xGsPlease note the photos and the video were taken in the fall of 2019, prior to storing the vehicle in storage for the winter.
