For Sale in our Detroit Showroom is a very iconic 2008 Ford Mustang
GT Bullitt. For those of you who don't know the history, the cars
are named after McQueen's legendary 1968 police drama/car chase
flick Bullitt, inspired by the green 390 fastback that Det. Frank
Bullitt used to jump over San Francisco's hilly streets and outwit
Dodge-driving bad guys in the movie. Bullitt is one of the most
iconic movies ever made, so if you're going to name a car after it,
it had better not just be some fancy graphics-and-wheels package.
Luckily, this 2008 Bullitt Mustang disappoints in that department.
This 2008 Bullitt arrived on the streets as an enhanced version of
that year's Mustang GT. Upgrades with the Bullitt were its upgraded
engine, suspension and exhaust, much of it courtesy of Ford Racing.
In fact, Ford engineers continually referenced the 1968 film while
tuning the Bullitt's exhaust system, making sure that all the aural
magic of the original was present in the modern version thanks to a
newly designed x-pipe and mufflers. A revised intake, 3:73 gears,
unique interior trim, upgraded brake pads and unique wheels rounded
out the 2008 Bullitt package. The 90-degree SOHC 24-valve 4.6-liter
V8 was given even more enhancements, the result meant slight
upgrades to 315 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, and while those
numbers seem laughable from a V8 today, it still got the Bullitt
moving from 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds which is pretty impressive
for the new millennium. This particular Mustang is a 2-owner car
with very low mileage having just 13,182 actual miles on the
odometer. This future collectible will not last long and is sure to
please its next enthusiast. For more information on this 2008 Ford
