The order banks are open, has anyone ordered one yet? If so any details on the order?

Little Black Pony

Order banks are only accepting Job 1 orders right now. Bullitt is reserved for Job 2.

On the topic of Dynacorn:

I had used a few of their body panels for my 68 FB project and for being stamped oversees their stuff is top notch. One of the main areas to rust out on the fastback is the quarter panels and cowls, with the dynacorp stuff you can replace the panel and weld everything in the factory location.

I would be concerned with the total cost of building one.

It's my understanding that they are not reproductions, they are replacement bodies. Many pieces in the front clip are different than an original 67-68. IIRC the shock towers are from the 70 because they are stronger. They sort of combined all the best pieces together to build the strongest shell.

Prolly $35K to $50K, depending on how much you did yourself. But you'd have a brand new Mustang built just the way you wanted it.

I had a '68 GT restored back in '01, the total cost was $27K with the base being $8K. It would make more sense to get the '08.

You know what, here's a better idea for us Ford fans who want a Bullitt. Go out and buy a 68 GT 390.

This is quite a pathetic attempt from Ford to sell a "special edition" Heck, there aren't even upgraded brakes like the last Bullitt had

Stray-Bullitt

I am fed up with all the posts, free advertising and hype for Ford esp on my home site IMBOC.com.
I am very disappointed with this pre-production spec and I am tempted to pull out of my purchase of the 2008. Unless I see some last minute surprise at the LA show, Ford will not get a sale out of me.

If Ford really do read all our posts then lets have a thread called
"Boycott the 2008"
Lets stop talking about it and vote with out feet. Now somebody will buy them but as it stands I am not only prepared to pull out of my purchase I am tempted to sell my 01 Bullitt as well.
Having waited for this car that I actually hoped they would not make, it looks like it is going to come up real short for me.

An attempt to purchase and restore a '67 or '68 would take a lot more and would never equal the quality, performance, and comfort level of the '08 BULLITT. The classics are limited on the possible improvements while an '08 is limitless. Besides, there is no dealing with rust, bondo, finding parts, and associated headaches.

As beautiful and unique as my '68 GT was when it was finally completed it was not in the same league as my '06 GT. There is a lot of myth, nostalgia, and romance with the original but in reality the current GT generation is far superior, even better that the old GT350s and GT500s. The '08 BULLITT should be a dandy.

I don't understand why you would sell your current car, if you enjoy it, because you don't like the future car.

Tony Alonso

I am curious about your definition of "special edition". What upgrades do you think make it special, besides brakes?
