For Sale 1966 Hipo Mustang Fastback - $28,500/negotiable. Car is in Colorado. Door tag reads: 6R09Kxxxxxx, 63A R 26 02C 71 E 6.
Forest Green, black interior. New paint in 2004. The car is nicknamed ‘Bullitt’ because of its’ similarity to the 68 Mustang in the movie ‘Bullitt’; Steve Mcqueen. Very clean car, rebuilt in ’04-‘05. Speedometer shows 76,000, but it is probably really 176,000. However the car has only gone 2000 miles in the last 4 years, since the restoration. It has the original Am/8track – not sure if it works as I’ve never wired it in. I’ll bet it will need rebuilding though.
The car has no exterior chrome emblems nor trim, has a bullet shaped mirror, bullet style center wheel caps, and a ‘Bullitt’ badge on the rear panel just right of the gas filler cap.
Where to start?? No drips, leaks, rust. It’s basically a ‘new’ 43 year old car.
Has a 66 K code motor, but not a numbers matching. But still it is a K code motor with the correct Autolite 4100 carb I bought from Pony Carbs a few years ago. Everything else on/in the motor is K code, down to the correct fan and a Rotunda oil filter.
New exhaust system front to back, with exhaust dumps just before rear axle. I do have the full exhaustsystem to go over the rear axle and exit under the rear valance.
The car tag is an automatic, but I have put a 4 speed toploader in it. It has a Hurst 4 speed shifter. I do have an extra C4 with torque converter in the garage, but I think it is a ’68. The total under carriage has been cleaned and looks fresh. All new front suspension control arms, perches, rubber, coil springs,etc. New rear leaf springs.
9” inch rear end with 3.50 gears. Freshly painted axle and fuel tank… again looks basically new underneath. All new seals and bearings and brakes pads, rebuilt calipers, black shocks, etc.
Wheels are original 1966 14” Torque Thrust D’s. They aren’t the modern style, they are from 1966 – have been cleaned, polished, and painted. Dunlop tires have only about 2000 miles on them.
In the interior, the headliner, the dashboard, and the rear upholstery are all original, with no tears, rips, or cracks. The front seats have new foam and upholstery. New carpet of course and new underlayment. New door panels, new chrome trim throughout including all the chrome trim around the rear fold down seat. New interior rear quarter panels too. Oh, and the entire car has been rewired, including the main harness behind the dashboard. All new brakes lines and fuel line and emergency brake lines throughout. No backup lamps and no bumper extension chrome pieces, but I do have the originals of these in a box in the garage.
What will it take to get more original? Correct 4 speed shifter, (but really the correct C4) correct firewall braces to the shock towers (which I have, they just need welding on)… it would need the correct brake proportioning valve which I have and needs to be refurbished… it presently has a Jegs P-valve on it. It would need to have all the exterior holes drilled for emblems and badges – I chose not to put these on as I wanted a clean line. I have the horse emblem for the center of the front grille, just not on the car right now. My email is prbuxt@netzero.com, my name is Pat. Email for more pics.
