Eric, The photos from the Sudden Death article show it with the fiberglass pro stock bumpers in gray. I'm betting Gapp had a pair of them in the shop, since it was not long before that they were running a Mustang II pro stock. I'll just take my time sanding down through the white paint to see whats under there  WOW..I knew he sold it to a guy in Miami, but did not know the guy might have been in the porn industry! You never can tell, but I'm trying to piece together the history of the car little by little. I got it out of New Jersey. Guy I got it from bought it off a car lot!  where it had been sitting out in the weather. Thankfully he put it in storage, so it could have been worse condition if not for that.

Hi Guys, Thought I'd post a couple of quick update photos of the car. Got quite a bit done to it the past month. Installed new stainless fuel lines/AN fittings under the car, new battery cables front to rear. Adjusted the coil overs down a bit over an inch to help the stance until I get the rear suspension restored back to original Also installed new 5 lug rotors, calipers, hoses, master cylinder. It had no brakes when I got it. Had the wheels restored back to their original machined finish, nice original center caps, correct lug nuts, new tires. Used 30-13.5-15 M/T ET streets on the rear and Firestone Wide Oval D70-14's on the front. I think the wheel/tire combo turned out great. At least it doesn't look as homely as it did  Next project is turbo removal and header fabrication. Once done, I can install the correct hood/scoop as original. At least its a start in the right direction!

Yeah, but no luck yet. However, I have managed to contact Jeff Gapp, Wayne Gapp's son and he's talked to his Dad about the car and Wayne has helped me out with some info on it.
I'm planning on getting the car to Wayne Gapp, Jack Roush, and Joe Ruggirello at some point, so they can see it again...or at least I hope to be able to.

was the Bullet ever beat?...i saw a story where tom hoover says the only car he knew of beating the Bullet was mike fons and his camaro..
The story I heard was a bigblock Camaro out of the Booth & Arons shop got around the Bullet once. But they say the Bullet had a plug wire off and when it was fixed they raced again and the Bullet won. That was the only time the Bullet ever lost according to the stories I have read. Ron

Anyone know if Harold Sullivan still owns the Silver Bullet? I found this video the other day and it sounds like it may have been up for sale?? Silver Bullet video on YouTube
If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

Silver Bullet video on YouTube I know he did about 7 years ago.. he had a shop full of cars down the street from where my brother worked.. my brother took his altered down the road for a quick shot and next thing we know is one of Sullivans guy pulled out and made a shot down the street... we got to BSing and found out that Sullivan had a shop down the street and was getting ready for Woodward Cruise that was about a week away(this is in the subs of Detroit) I remember going up to the Shell station back when I was a kid and trying to BS with those guys... I was 16 then and raced out on Woodward.. but not in the class they did.. I finally bought a hemi for my 62 Ply based on Sullivan and the Bullet.. but I did talk with them a lot
