Ray, I believe that I read somewhere that many of the 12 cars had engine replacements during the test period. Someone correct me if you know otherwise.

I had seen photos of this guy's collection on one of the F-Body boards but they wouldn't ID him for his privacy. That car was in those photos. I've wanted to build my own replica for some time now, and have the donor plastic model kit waiting to get started. LOL Can't afford the real thing!

I agree, Mike. If he did sooo much research, then go with the correct equipment.

I've seen photos of one at a CHP event twice, now. The first one was one of the original 12, IIRC. A Bullitt owner that was also a CHP officer took those photos. The other one, all of you have seen - the cars are parked side by side: SSP Mustang, '79 Camaro, '92 Camaro, Impala SS...that '79 doesn't have the push bar, though. Unit 8160 if the tag is original.

Thanks for posting the video, I like all pony cars. <ducking>
