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 mustangs are very sought after. Back in the 1960's, Ford Company didn't stamping vin numbers on blocks like they do today. Instead, they used dated codes that references to the year of the car. To these cars there is no such a thing as "numbers matching", until the 70's when they started to stamping vin numbers. For the 1960's models the closest it comes to a numbers matching is "right era", meaning the block is from the same period. It's difficult to find a dated matching block, finding matching heads is another challenge. One different date distorts the purpose of keeping originality. Especially when it comes to heads, you have a left side and right side. This car comes with both heads are dated 8AE (1968) and the block is dated: 8D17, (1968) . Photo attached. A perfect match, from the block to the heads and the head to head. The block is dated only one year apart from initial built date, which is the correct year for Bullitt Mustang. This is the closets it get to "numbers matching" car. What makes this car even more special is the block is a passager version of a 390 FE and not a truck one. All big block passager vehicles such as the Galaxie, Fairlane, and Mustang had a passager version of the 390 FE block while all trucks were equipped with truck version of the 390 FE. The market is flooded with truck versions of 390 FE, which makes them inexpensive. On the other hand, there are very few passager version of the 390 FE left, simply because everyone wants to marry the correct engine with correct era car. This brings the value of the blocks between $7,000 to $12,000 depending on condition. The difference in the two version is not only the value, but stroke. Many car builders/enthusiast know this and cut corners by installing a truck version of the 390 FE into the car they're selling. Tricking customers into thinking that they are getting a true "s" code, but in reality they are not getting what they're intended to. This car comes with the correct version of 390 FE and the correct stroke in standard bore cylinder as the day it when it came out of the factory. This is the reason why this car is a true "s" code and stands out from all the rest of the budget built fastbacks.The body was a full rotisserie restored, meaning the car is rust free. The floor panel were replaced with one piece panel like it came from the factory and not in small sections like most restoration do. 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 add and high solid clear coat was covered six times giving enough room to keep the car shining. 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. I will not release the vehicle to those in the interest of reselling and making profit. Therefore, please no dealers or any kind of brokers. I understand the market value of this car and don't need assistance selling it. These cars sell themselves. This car is for sale to serious inquires who understand value and appreciate history.
