I got Ancalagon back from the detail shop where I'd had some more PPF done - added the full rear quarter panels instead of just the front bit. Shiny! Also installed the Bemaro films on the grille and emblems - looking good!

Show us the meaning of haste! My Mach 1 (black) will have a custom plate ANCALGN (since Ancalagon is too long). Good to see another Middle-earth inspired plate!

Now that's a name I can get behind! Hoping to see other Tolkien-inspired names for our cars in here. :) Mine is Ancalagon the Black.

Chassis M4666 Shadow Black Premium & Elite Handling Package Recaros Tremec 6-speed After my '19 Bullitt was bought back by Ford, I ordered one through my local dealer, equipped as listed (but also with red calipers). But, with no build date in sight, I went ahead and found what I wanted in...

Okay, guys, here's the whole story: Transmission failed when I was getting on the freeway - 2nd to 3rd shift under moderate acceleration (probably around 50-55 mph, if I recall). The dealership replaced it and did a visual inspection on the clutch, and thought it was fine. Gave it back to me...

Yeah, Ford surprised me actually. The rep I worked with was super-helpful and worked hard to advocate for my case. I didn't get all that I'd hoped for, but I got more than I expected.

I had just over 18,000 on it when the transmission gave out. I suspect that's earlier than most folks' units fail, but as I'd planned on handing this down to my son in 10 years' time, I just couldn't trust it anymore.

I'm sad to say I'm no longer a Bullitt owner as of yesterday. A transmission failure in August of last year led to a whole bunch of problems, and months in service at the dealership, Ford finally offered me enough on a buyback to say goodbye. I'll miss it tremendously, but even if they...

I was in a similar quandary when looking for a new daily driver (and that's the important part): buy a low-mileage GT350, load up a GT w/PP1 and all the goodies, or find a dealer willing to sell a Bullitt without trying to add that markup crap. Here was my thought process, though yours may vary...

Congratulations, Bruce! (And cheers to Nancy for encouraging you to go for it!) I love your reasons for going with the Bullitt -- similar to mine, as I was considering a GT too. It's a gorgeous color and I never get tired of looking at it. :) The faux cap has grown on me a bit, but I'm still...

Yeah, I've done the same thing: "My Mode" is "My Wife's Mode" for when she needs to drive -- normal suspension, comfort steering, quiet exhaust. To her credit, she doesn't hate the car at least -- I'll settle for mere tolerance, given how glad she is that I love it.

I've yet to take any 'pro' shots with my Canon, so yeah... being obsessed with the dang car, I'm always taking pictures with my iPhone. :camera: Here's one from just a few days ago...

Let me just say that, as a relatively new Bullitt owner (less than 3 weeks, just hit my 1000-mile break-in), I am in firm agreement with the OP: this is a truly astounding car. When I'm driving it, I feel like I'm always smiling -- whether that's because of that shove-into-the-seat, or the...

This is one of those "meant to be" sort of things. I fell in love with the DHG of the Bullitt from the minute I looked into a new Mustang, but the added cost was more than I felt comfortable with. I settled for a special order GT with all the goodies of the Bullitt (401A, 6-speed, B&O, PP1...

The horses of the Nine cannot vie with him -- you'd probably have to have 500 horses to keep up. :) Gorgeous car!

Well, it's all moot now. My wife decided she liked the Dark Highland Green enough for me to buy the Bullitt instead -- and this doesn't work on the Bullitt. But ya know... I'm okay with that. :)

Thanks, guys -- obviously, whatever info I'd been seeing was outdated and/or inaccurate. Not sure if I'll go this route quite yet, but it sure is tempting. The idea of this sort of power not voiding my warranty is particularly appealing.

I'm admittedly new here, so maybe this is old news and I just didn't see anything show up, but just in case, you all might want to read about this. I know the Roush unit's been available for most folks -- but, from what I could tell, it's not CARB-legal for us poor souls suffering in...

Well, it turns out there's an almost identically-spec'd vehicle at a dealership not too far away. It's in my second-choice color, but that's about it... reached out to see if they can match the price my dealer gave me on the order. If so, I might be driving it a lot sooner than I thought!

I came thisclose to ordering Velocity Blue with that blue-trimmed interior... nice choice! Good for you on the PP2; it would have been a bit much for me as a daily driver with the cost of those tires, but I think the PP1 with MagneRide will satisfy. Glad to know you have a (mostly) firm delivery...
