Vehicle Description
This 1968 Ford Mustang is quite a nicely detailed Bullitt tribute,
so you know you'll love the extra-long stares it gets from
enthusiasts. But more than just Hollywood allure, this has also
been given the right solid investment to make sure this is ready
for everything from a cruise-in to the hills of San Francisco.
Highland Green is an awesome Mustang color, but it became a true
icon after Steve McQueen's coupe used it in Bullitt. So it's
awesome to have a Marti Report proving that this real-deal fastback
is also a real-deal factory Highland Green car. That's why it makes
for such an ideal Bullitt tribute. This one looks right with the
full deleted badging, blackout grille, Deluxe hood, and dark Torq
Thrust wheels. There are even a few cool hints of added distinction
with the GT500 gas cap and modern ground illuminators in the doors
that use Ford's modern Bullitt logo. So it's a sports car worthy of
all the McQueen memorabilia that comes with the sale... but this
car is also much more. The Bullitt car looked like an urban driver,
but the finish here has a smoother style with a nice metallic glow.
It's not that you'd want to lock this one away in a museum, but we
wouldn't be surprised if you got ushered to a top spot at many car
shows. Bright chrome bumpers, clean glass, pliable
weather-stripping, quite good body lines, and doors that close
confidently give this the quality you want in any well-done
classic.
The crisp black interior looks good against the dark green
exterior. Nice upholstery, plush carpeting, a smooth dash, and a
taut headliner make this inviting. They even upgraded the radio to
an AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth for the best on modern
driving music. And this is certainly meant to be a driver with
front bucket seats, clear readouts, and a cool wood-rimmed sports
steering wheel with a Bullitt horn cap. You probably won't take too
many passengers in the rear, so that space is more about being
impressive for its vintage details. That includes the fold-down
rear seat. So it all feels like a nicely detailed classic that
won't sweat the scrutiny of people coming in for a closer look.
The engine bay has a clean and tidy style, making it easy to show
off the upgrades. The hint of Shelby's influence around this car is
especially noticeable in the engine bay. The long Cobra air
grabber, matching finned valve covers, and Monte Carlo bar are all
pure Shelby GT500 cool. At heart is a 302 cubic-inch V8 that
inhales deeper with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and exhales
deeply out of a newer dual exhaust. As you look at the exhaust pipe
in the undercarriage photos, you can spot plenty of newer
investments, including the gas tank, rear shocks, springs, and
bushings, all looking newer. It's the car that gives you confidence
out on the road. And so it feels like a proper cruiser with a
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front disc
brakes, and a newer set of wide BF Goodrich tires.
Bullitt style, extra flair, Shelby details, and a great driving
attitude make for a terrific classic fastback of distinction. Call
