Nice car.

But I’ll be with my Challenger for at least a few more years.

Made some changes to the exhaust system to add another 50ish in HP

Thing is LOUD.

I should grow up!!!

[$52,595]

Darn, it’s only $52,595 out of my price range.

This week I did get a (scale) replica of the Bullitt car, though. By coincidence.

“...a 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback 2+2 in Highland Green with the 335 horsepower, 390 cubic-inch Thunderbird Special V8 and a four-speed manual transmission stock engine with a set of American Racing mag wheels and a white cue-ball shifter....”

Making a house payment when buying a car is norm these days. It’s idiocy to me.

I’ll continue to stick with my 55K miles 2014 Regal GS and the aftermarkets I have on it. I love eating the neighborhood Cobra’s with it...

I can’t afford it, but $52K isn’t outrageous for a car like that relative to other vehicles. You can pay $52K for a pickup truck these days. With a 480hp engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, those rear tires aren’t going too last long.

I wondered what happened to the BULLIT car after it was featured in HEMMINGS MOTOR NEWS a couple of years ago.
(FYI, the OTHER “movie” Mustang was, the last time I heard still in the wrecking yard near Tijuana, Mexico & priced at 1500.oo. = It was, about 3 years ago, “more or less in one piece” but needed a COMPLETE restoration, as a PO ran off the road & hit a tree with it. - The “reporter” in HEMMINGS estimated that it would cost about 100,000.ooUSD to restore to “factory stock”.)

Yours, TMN78247

Just don’t expect to get $3.4 million for yours 52 years from now.

With the continuing debasement of currency, it should only take 30 years.

I prefer a larger car.
