Up for bid is my 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback "Bullitt" Movie Car Replica. It's an absolutely gorgeous replica of one of the coolest movie cars ever. Who can forget that awesome chase through San Francisco with Steve McQueen as Lieutenant Frank Bullitt behind the wheel of his Highland Green '68 Mustang Fastback. Now is your chance to own this stunning Fastback that has been fully restored with no expense spared. Per the Marti Report, this '68 Fastback started life as a Highland Green, San Jose built car, J-Code 302 4V with a 4-speed manual. Originally equipped with a Convenience Control Panel, Visibility Group, sport deck rear seat, console, power disc brakes, power steering, Interior Decor Group, Deluxe Belts, Front Seat Headrests, Chrome Styled Steel Wheels and Heavy Duty Suspension. It was originally sold in British Columbia, Canada. It still has the original owner's manual with the dealership's business card attached to the front. Please see photographs of the owner's manual and Marti Report below. This car was completely restored in late 2007/early 2008 and is absolutely gorgeous and perfect inside and out. No expense was spared on the restoration. The paint is flawless, the sides are laser straight and it has a mile-deep shine like you wouldn't believe. The paint/body alone was over $25,000. There was no major rust, only surface rust. No rust through or anything at all. It was repainted in 2008 Ford Mustang Highland Green with all the exterior trim, extensions, glass, trim and drivetrain removed. Like the movie car, the grille pony and corral trim was removed, the hood and trunk lettering removed and the front fender trim was removed. Brand new American Racing Torque Thrust wheels were added just like the movie car. All the exterior trim was replaced; the bumpers, bumper guards, door handles, mirrors, wing windows and chrome frames, parking lights, reverse lights, flip-down gas cap, tail light lenses and bezels, the list goes on and on. The interior is in excellent condition with new carpet, door panels and headliner. The seats and dashpad are ORIGINAL and in excellent condition with no rips, cracks or tears. The black center console is removable as seen in the pictures below. It wedges between the seats and has two cupholders, a large storage compartment and a very comfortable padded armrest. There are no holes drilled or any carpeting cut to install it. The Ford Racing 392 CI Crate Motor has incredible power and drives like a dream mated to the T-5 5-Speed Manual Transmission which both have 6,341 miles on them. This Mustang handles great, much better than any Mustang ever did back in 1968. Between the Monte Carlo Bar, Sway Bars, Subframe Connectors, Rollbar, upgraded Koni Shocks and Springs, this car takes corners much like a new Mustang does. It feels right at home on a country road and sounds incredible with the Hooker Headers and Flowmasters. Here are some of the mechanical specs on it: - Ford Racing 392 CI Crate Motor "Sportsman Block" 430 HP/450 TQ, 9.7:1 Compression - Tremec T-5 5-Speed Manual with Hurst Shifter - Modern Driveline Cable Clutch - Barry Grant Street Demon 800 CFM Carburetor - RPM Airgap Intake Manifold - MSD Ignition - Holley Electric Fuel Pump - 4-Core Aluminum Radiator - Cooling Fan Mounted on Front of Radiator. Automatically on at 210 degrees or can be manually turned on - Serpentine Belt Driven - Hooker Headers - Dual Exhaust with Flowmaster Mufflers, turned down behind rear valence - Bill Meier Subframe Connectors & Roll Bar - Koni Shocks - Haneline Instrument Cluster - Currey 9" Differential with 3.55 Gears This is a turn-key show car, it could be a trailer queen for the rest of it's life, or a driver. I've trailered it to long-distance shows, but it gets driven almost every weekend to local cruises, car shows and has been driven to Hot August Nights in Reno several times. It is a blast to drive and gets up and goes. It wins awards at almost every show it attends. Last year when the California DMV started allowing Year of Manufacturer (YOM) plates for 1963-1969 vehicles, I had a pair of "JZZ109" plates made and assigned to the car. Yes, I know the movie car had "JJZ109" These are exact reproduction plates that are registered to the car and are 100% legal to be driven with. I've had Bullitt fans look at the plates at several shows and be shocked that I got the movie plate assigned to the car, not realizing that it's one letter different than the original.
