PP026 @ Carlisle (no pics)

Just an FYI for people. The car @ Ford Nationals (outside) is PP026. Unsure of Inside I didn't see the 2nd car.

This one was outside under the tent at the Ford hauler. There was another green one inside of the building off the ground where the ride and drive took place, and there was a black one inside ( I can't believe I didn't get a photo of it) with pink graphics for for the breast cancer research group that was on side selling shirts and diecst as a fund raiser.

This may be a dumb question, but I've seen both PP and VP numbers. What do those mean?

falcongtho3 · Jun 12, 2018

I'll take a stab at it and say pre-production and verification/pilot. (?)

VP mean Variable Prototype. PP means Pre-Production. VP cars had the right look but some parts on the interior were a little off and the one we saw with a popped hood just had a regular GT motor under the hood. Next were TT (Tooling trial) cars, those had everything right including the engine. Then came the Pre-Production cars which are all correct and will be used as press vehicles, for promo uses, etc.

Good information. I guess that means the one I receive will just have the number without the letters prefixed.

Yes, and I'm curious as to the numbering sequence. I'm assuming 4 digits, i.e. 0001...…..9999. Just curious, cus I have nothing else to think about this week.....

Will all of those be crushed/destroyed by Ford after the production Bullitts are out in the wild?

That's a good question, I do know a number of MP and PP Bosses survive in the wild even today.

I honestly don't know exactly, but from what I've read in the past VP cars are crushed, TT I think usually are too, but the PP cars seem to end up surviving in many cases.

I think they had the same one over the weekend at American Muscle.

This car is also out at Back to the 50's this weekend in St. Paul, MN, as part of Ford Performance's traveling PR show.
