Nice car, the 2019 Bullit.

Back in '69 I almost bought myself a '67 Mustang that had been sort of Bullitized...Mustang emblem taken out of the grille, etc. It was a Forrest (dark) Green, '67 Mustang fastback with the 289 (4.7 liter) V8 (A Code), 4 barrel...225 hp, top loader 4 speed manual. I would of preferred the 289 K Code (271 hp) but they were as rare as hen's teeth. I know, I know the Mustang in the Bullit movie had the 390 FE V8.

I think the '67 Mustang fastback was one of the nicest looking cars ever stamped out by a factory. The '68 Mustang had the U. S. federally mandated side marker lights, which I felt 'marred' the look of all '68 vehicles. Don't get me started on the look of the 5 mph bumpers. :D

The '67/'68 Mustang fastback and the '65/'66 Mustang Fastback are beautiful cars. I recall a co worker of my mom, had a new '66 Mustang Fastback with the K code 289/4 speed...boy did that thing go, sound great and look great. If it was still around in good condition it would be worth a few bucks now.

So what did I do, instead of buying the 'Bullit' look Mustang back in 1969 ?

I bought a Marina Blue, '67 Camaro RS coupe, 327 cube V8, 4 speed Muncie transmission. I then slapped some red line tires on it and went 'hunting' 390 Mustangs. :B;)


:B I know I was doing so good in this post, then at the end I had to go and spoil things.

I guess that's what happens when you're a Chevy guy.;)

All kidding aside, that 2019 Mustang Bullit would be fine ride...make mine a standard transmission...which I wouldn't mind. I'm assuming it has the Coyote V8 ( has to be a V8 to be a true Bullit, IMO) and has a standard transmission available.

Your RS Camaro most likely looked a lot like my debadged 67 SS350 Camaro. Chris
