Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present 2008
Ford Mustang Bullitt, a true icon of American muscle and
performance. In keeping with the classic film, the Bullitt was
stripped of badging, scoops and spoilers, with the faux gas cap on
the trunk bearing the only name of the beast. A unique grille and
specially crafted 18-inch wheels finished the exterior treatments,
while Bullitt-specific interior trim with Bullitt badging and an
aluminum shift knob completed the Bullitt transformation. Each 2008
Bullitt was assigned its own VIN-specific serial number on a
special ID plate affixed to the car's strut tower brace. This one
is numbered 2227 of 5808 Bullitt's in 2008, and is 1 of 1431
painted in black, making this a rare pony. Under the hood lies a
formidable 4.6 Liter V8 engine, paired with a 5-speed manual
transmission with Ford Racing's Power Upgrade Package that added 15
extra horsepower to the Mustang GT's 300 ponies. Suspension tweaks
included stiffer shocks, springs, and a strut tower brace, giving
the Bullitt extra bite in the corners. Bullitt-specific front brake
pads and 3.73 rear gears rounded out the mechanical upgrades, save
for a true dual-exhaust system that was specifically tuned to sound
like Detective Frank Bullitt's own 1968 Mustang movie car. Inside
it has all the features you would expect from a newer mustang with
air conditioning, AM/FM radio and CD player, anti-lock brakes, an
anti-theft system, driver and passenger airbags, and traction
control. Additional convenience features such as cruise control,
power brakes, power locks, power seats, power steering, and power
windows make every journey more enjoyable and effortless. This
vehicle is a testament to Ford's commitment to performance and
quality, making it a great choice for those who appreciate the
finer details in automotive design.
