For those talking about the wheels, they look like old-school Centerlines, and in a Ford/Mopar lug pattern, they’re pretty rare. I know a guy with a ‘70 Cougar and another with a ‘72 Roadrunner that have them. This is the third set I’ve ever seen.
They may not match the Bullitt wheels, but they’re definitely legit for the ‘70s muscle car scene. Also, Bullitt had a ‘68, not a ‘67.
Does this one have a 289, J-code 302 4V, or a big block 390? No badges, so I’m guessing it doesn’t have the 428.

Good info! I’ll ask Camilo when I see him later and report back

I zoomed in on the fender and saw a 302 badge. Check if the VIN engine code is “J.” If so, that’s a one-year-only engine and pretty cool. Otherwise, it’s probably a swap from a ‘69 or even something out of a Fox Body.
EDIT: Wait… it’s a ‘67, so it wouldn’t have a J-code. Most likely a later model engine.
Super clean.
Why spend all this money on a build just to slap $100 junkyard wheels on it? The paint job alone had to cost tens of thousands, but no budget for a set of Torque Thrusts or Magnum 500s?

Right? That’s exactly what I was thinking.
That thing is a beast! But it’s begging for some Bullitt wheels.

That would be a solid upgrade. I’ll mention it to Camilo for the spring refresh
Absolutely beautiful car. Love the wheels too.
Centerlines… man, I can’t stand those wheels.
Everything else about this car is perfect though.

Never really paid attention to the wheels before, but now I’m gonna be comparing them with Camilo
This is gorgeous.
Car looks amazing, love the color. But yeah, those wheels gotta go.
Wheels go crazy
This is hands down my favorite year, model, and color. I don’t even care what wheels it has. I almost traded my 2017 5.0 GT Vert for one of these…
