Congrats on your new 2018 too! I drove it the 4 hours back home that night (Friday). After having my first GT hit hard twice, I now have a really good go-to body shop that I know does excellent work. I'm going to have them give me an estimate later this week, which I'll forward to the dealer. They notified me of the scratch ahead of time, I just chose to pick it up instead of waiting however much longer for it to be fixed and not knowing the quality of work with an unknown body shop 4 hours away. The dealer agreed to pay for the fix of course. If my body shop can't fix it completely without paint work, I'll probably just live with the scratch instead of hoping the paint match comes out perfectly and them having to blend/repaint the whole door, etc. When I sent a picture to the body shop owner, he thinks a wet sand/buff/touchup will take care of it. Otherwise, if it doesn't, I'm not OCD and will probably just live with whatever improvements a buff and touch up provides.Matt,
Congratulations. I know the feeling. I just received my 2018 GT a couple of weeks ago (waited a little over 4 months). So now I have a 1968 and 2018 in the barn so to speak.
The scratch would be a bummer to see. Need to let us know how it was resolved and what it looks like afterward. Sounds like you drove 4 hours to pick it up, so are you having it fixed at a different Ford Dealer, or are you driving it back?
Beautiful car Matt, I'm super jealous!
Your grin the entire video explains it all.
What these guys said ^ The smile on your face and pure joy when you got to pick it up. I can't wait to have that type of feeling when I can get back into a Mustang.Congratulations, Matt, the car looks superb. That smile said it all
IMO I think that would take away from the Bullitt originality and uniqueness.That color is just so freaking awesome. I would definitely lowered and put some forged wheels on it.
I wish there was something that would make me as smiley and giggly as The bullitt makes Matt lol.Just picked it up yesterday from Lebanon Ford! This is chassis number K0095 but is actually VIN 12! One of the first 5 Bullitts delivered I think. I elaborate a lot more in the video but here's the cliff notes and a few other things I didn't mention in the video:
Absolutely love the rev match.
Exhaust sounds amazing, with more crackles and pops than even the 2018 GT with Active Exhaust that I previously drove.
Pre-production cars had a unique Dark Highland Green MyColor for the gauges, but it's not present as an option in my gauge cluster so must have been removed last minute for production versions.
Taller gearing with the 18+ manuals takes a little getting used to and makes it feel a little less torquey than my 2016 with 3.55s.
Sadly the truck driver put a few scratches in my passenger door at some point. Dealership wrote me an I-O-U and hopefully my body shop can fix it without doing any repainting.
If you have any questions about the car after watching the video, feel free to ask and I'll try and answer as quickly as I can (hard to be on the computer much when all I want to do is drive it haha).
Nice review. Love the gauges!Just posted a tour of the Bullitt gauges:
