Yes, that's the ninth pre-production Bullitt made! Collector's take note!

I thought pre-production numbers started PP----

It was a pre-production model.....In the ad it states that the Ford Motor Company owned it before the dealer got it....Believe its been on E-bay before.....

Wait, you're RIGHT! If it was the 9th pre-production it would say "1PP09." I haven't a CLUE what the 4P business is all about, but my guess it that it went to a Ford exec to test out. You have a real mystery here.

My dealership here in Cleveland got a "pre-production" model directly from Ford a while back, and it says 1PP13 on the strut.

I think PP is 'pilot production' Cars that are built exactly the same as production cars, but built to test the production line, and often used as media cars etc.

The single 'p' I'm not sure. There are a few threads discussing this car.

Hey Dan, oddly enough, that "4P" Bullitt is at "my" dealership here in Cleveland. I gave my salesman a call, but he didn't know what it means either. He said he'll try to find out and get back to me on it. If he does, I'll let you know.

The guy that stamps the second "P" on the production line was off that day. :grin:

:rotfl: Good one! Maybe he was taking a "P" as the car rolled down the line. :lol:

 

[Dave and Julie]

There is only room for four characters on the plate, so it only gets one P.

AHHH the same guy who was on X-mas vaction and screwed up the numbering back in January... Damn him

 

[JC2954]

Obviously, since there is only room for four characters - the "4P" means there was FOUR items starting with "P" on this series of cars - of which this one is #09.
