I found 1891 on craigslist due to the fact i couldn't sleep one night. I called dad the next day and decided that we would go look at it that evening when i got off work. I ended up buying it with out even test driving it, all it took was cranking it up and listening to it run and i knew i had to get it.
i had to have basically every light on the car replaced so i went with Raxiom smoked lights all the way around and raxiom sequential turn signals from American Muscle. Also did the mach1 grill delete and chin lip. Just got done repainting my calipers and replaced the pads and rotors with some cross drilled and slotted rotors.
Now ill get to the pics.

That looks like it's gonna be fun to fix man. Goodluck with it! And glad to see someone reviving a lost car

yeah it was quite a job. dad has been doing body work for 40 years and its getting to him, hard on his lungs from all the painting. It took him about 3 weeks to get it back to right where years ago he could have done it in less than 2 weeks. For all his hard work i just ordered 4 tires so im gonna let him finish burning off what tread is left on 2 of the old ones.

Very nice restoration. With this awesome progress, I'm sure things will just continue to get better. I want a bullitt now :( lol

PS the drivers side tail pipe is pointing down.

Yeah those pics were taken just after it rolled out of paint and had yet to be taken to muffler shop to have the pipe straightened.

Well me and dad are about to head out at midnight tonight on a 9 hour one way drive to put up another black bullitt. He liked mine so much he had to have one too. So we will have twin BULLITTS.

Love the bullitts. Buddy has one with a novi 2000 on it and it pulls like a freight train up top for a 2v.

^O yes that intake manifold does quite a bit for the top end I can give ya proof of that!

I too love the Bullitt's. Guess you could say I have a Fullitt since I have an intake manifold off one on my car haha. But that's sick that you and your dad both have Bullitts! They look kickass!
