Vehicle Description
Description from the current owner:
"This 1967 Mustang was built with passion and attention to detail
by a private car enthusiast who had extensive experience building
numerous cars for friends and family. This particular build was a
special one as it was dedicated to him and his wife who both had a
passion for mustangs.
He began with a 1967 Mustang California black plate fastback that
was in dire need of restoration. Rather than restore it to stock
standard he decided to go all in, no expense spared to build a
favorite classic of his, a Bullitt replica.
While 67 isn't the correct year for a Bullet replica, you can
easily look beyond that when you see the amount of time, effort and
quality that went into this build.
Starting with a strip down to bare body and chassis, everything
that was needed was replaced or repaired, coated and sealed.
Manufactured stiffening frame was powder coated and reinforced with
sub frame cross members to help support the torque the car would
produce.
The engine is a custom built 351 Windsor (not a crate engine). All
of the necessary goodies were added to make a reliable 400+ hp
engine that runs on pump gas (see build receipts in photos). Five
speed Tremec TK600 transmission was matched perfectly to the rear
end for torque and quick acceleration in low gears, and low rpms at
high speeds for long hauls. (2500 @80mph) Hydraulic kevlar clutch.
Polished radiator keeps everything cool. FAST fuel injection makes
the car start and run like a modern car with a twist of the
key.
Suspension was all updated and while the car handles incredibly
well, it's also supple and gives for a comfortable ride. Rack and
pinion steering with tilt column. Power steering. Chris Alston's
Chassisworks chassis components. Front coilover conversion. Custom
rear axle housing with 3:55 gears. Coilover 4-link rear suspension.
Wilwood 4 wheel disc brakes.
He was very particular about the sound in this car and wanted to
match the sound of the original 390 Bullet. After going through
three exhaust systems, he finally found the current system and had
it all welded and powder coated for a nice clean seamless system.
Best of all the sound of the car from the interior is like being in
the real car from the movie.
Over the top professional sound system was incorporated and took
the place of the rear fold down seat. Steel frame was built to
house and protect the components and added to the stiffening of the
chassis from the interior. Interior pillar vents were sealed off
for a lean smooth look, but left as stock on the exterior.
Custom housings on all speakers were made. Kenwood Wireless
Bluetooth AM/FM radio phone system makes hands free calling
excellent as it comes through the cars sound system. Overall sound
is incredible when playing music.
He was also particular about the look in the engine bay and went to
great lengths to hide all wiring and to organize all pipes, lines
and tubes in a very clean manner.
The trunk was no exception, as it is finished out in the same high
end carpet materials that was used throughout the main interior.
The battery was located at the rear and comes with a keyed shutoff
switch for theft prevention. A professional shroud was made to
cover the battery when access is not needed.
Vintage Air A/C blows cold and cranks on hot days so driving is
always a pleasure.
This car turns heads everywhere it goes, and is definitely a great
pleasure to drive.
If you have ever wanted a 67 fastback that was built right, this is
your car. I purchased it 4 years ago as my first car was a 67
fastback, but it was a junker. I always wanted to experience having
a 67 built with today's technology and this guy built it. There may
be other Bullet replicas out there, but look closely to the details
and what was built into them. A big motor and 5 speed aren't the
only things that get you a true pro-touring build label.
Only approx. 3,450 miles on the build."
Clean California title in-hand.
