Up for sale is a beautiful 1968 Mustang Fastback BULLITT car. I've owned this Mustang for 2 years and have done some major work to it since buying it. This is an ORIGINAL HIGHLAND GREEN fastback, which is quite rare for 1968. It originally had the c-4 automatic transmission and ivy-gold interior. The interior was replaced with new black carpeting, dash and vinyl but kept the original deluxe interior wood dash instrument panel. The car was also converted to a 3 speed manual transmission by the PO. The car needed a lot of work to undo poor mechanical work and make it a strong DAILY DRIVER. I drive it regulary 7 miles and ride it on the weekend. She starts right up, has a smooth purring idle, can stop on a dime and has easy smooth steering. Here is a list of all my upgrades: 1) Power Disc Brakes - Replaced original manual drum brakes with brand new power disc brakes up front and drums in back. This was a major upgrade. An absolute must have when you have a V8 under the hood 2) Suspension - Replaced original, old, clunky stock suspension with Shelby performance suspension. The car is very SOLID now and can take a corners like a champ. 3) Power Steering - The original manual steering rack was just too much of an arm work out at slow speeds (especially with these thick tires) so I recently upgraded to a Borgeson power steering system. It is easy to steer now even at slow speeds (parking lots, etc). 4) Engine - I was told the engine had been rebuilt about 3k miles before I bought it. I've also had quite a bit of engine work performed on the car to get it running strong and starting up right away. This included a Pertronix ignition and new starter, new battery, new spark plugs and wires, rebuilt carburetor, full tune up, new steering wheel wire harness and new interior power adapter (cig lighter). The car starts up easily now even after a long drive or on a cold morning. 5) Exhaust - Replaced rusty old exhaust system, beat up skinny headers, and glass pack mufflers with nickel plated shorty performance headers, full "H" custom pipes and dual MagnaFlow exhaust. The sound is gorgeous, and just the right volume for a street rod. It has a quiet and smooth volume on the highway, and also a great growl when you step on the gas. 6) Tires - Replaced the mis-matched cheap tires with performance 225/55/16 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport's all around. Fantastic tires with amazing grip that also closely resemble the tire width and height of the Original Bullitt car. All I can say is what a difference this made! 7) Rims - Beautiful 16x7 Vintage Wheel works "vintage 45 " rims with classic chrome center caps closely resembling the look of Bullitt's 15x7 American Racing torque D rims. Because of the 16" size, performance tire options are much easier to come by. I also think the 16's also really improve the stance. Other features on the car include rear folding down seats with trap door to trunk access, manual windows, replaced rear window and trunk seals (trunk no longer leaks water), shortened and EQ'd clutch linkage to improve leverage for a much easier operation. I've had a full performance alignment done by Custom Alignment in Mountain View (cost over $1000), rear seat belts installed and matching passenger mirror installed. I never intended to sell this car, so all the work I did, I did right. I spared no expense when it came to upgrades. Buying a classic car is a real gamble sometimes, but this car is SOLID. Beautiful paint job with no rust whatsoever. You can drive this to work the day you buy it and not be on the side of the road. It's been a busy two years owning this car and it's been absolutely loved and treated well. I would love to see it go to a real Mustang/Bullitt enthusiast. If you have ANY questions, please feel free to email or call me at any time. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
