Vehicle Description
2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt
Name another movie or TV car that's been reproduced in large
numbers in multiple generations, can be driven daily, and retains
options not found on the mere mortal Mustangs. The Mustang Bullitt
tributes have been produced by Ford in the fourth, fifth and sixth
generations meaning you can find a 2001 Bullitt, a 2008-09 Bullitt,
and a 2019-20 Bullitt. They can trace their DNA to a single car; a
dark green 1968 fastback Mustang used in the film and sold at Mecum
in 2020 for 3.7 million dollars.
For consignment, a 2008 Ford Mustang title verified 1,240 actual
miles. It's one of 4,377 made in 2008 with Highland Green Paint,
another 1,426 were black. We've seen our share of Bullitts here at
Classic Auto Mall over the past seven years and sales figures don't
lie, these are highly desirable special edition Mustangs and here
is one that's barely broken in.
Exterior
If you only take a quick glance, you may mistake this car for a run
of the mill 6 cylinder pony and boy, would you be wrong. The '08
model shows some design restraint while still paying tribute to the
original 1968 movie car. A black mesh grille is devoid of the
iconic chrome pony and is accented by a satin aluminum frame that
is a throwback to the 1968 Mustang but also does a splendid job of
framing the gap next to the proper Dark Highland Green. Stylized
marker lamps here present as amber slashes and wear the car's
individual number, 2690 on the right marker. The side steel panels
flow nicely with well minded gaps, with quarter window scoops over
the fixed rear windows. In the back we find a spoilerless trunk lid
and a circular faux gas cap/badge that shows Ford Bullitt in front
of a crosshair design flanked by three part tail lights, now larger
and flush but still reminiscent of past generations. Dual exhaust
tips boldly emerge from the lower bumper and 18-inch argent Bullitt
wheels wrapped 235/50ZR18 rubber. We could find no exterior
imperfections on this low mileage car.
Interior
Nice simple door panels utilize molded plastic, vented vinyl and a
tasteful touch of thin trimming along with power window toggles,
power lock switches and some woofers and tweeters, the crosshairs
now appearing on the door actuators. Inside, beautiful high backed
charcoal leather buckets topped with headrests, all in fantastic
condition as are the foldable 2 plus 2 seats in back. A center
console runs through the buckets and houses a satin aluminum trim
piece that surrounds the machined aluminum shifter ball. As it
rises to the dash center, we have the A/C panel along with an
AM/FM/CD radio just below the racy red start button. Under the
black textured dash cover and among the machine spun aluminum front
are two large round deep set gauges, somewhat retro in design and
backlit in lavender, with a central gauge cluster, analog with the
exception of the digital odometer readouts. Black carpet and a felt
headliner all is tight and clean below and above. The trunk has a
rubber liner and some added storage pouches attached to the
underside of the decklid, all spotless.
Drivetrain
Lifting up the long green hood we see a 4.6L 3 valve V8 in the bay
all fitting nicely under the factory installed Bullitt strut tower
brace that includes this car's individual number. It is fed air by
a factory Ford Racing cold air kit. The bay is showroom clean! More
engine calibration gives this engine the capability to produce
315hp while a Tremec 3650 5-speed manual, modified at the factory
for quicker more precise shifts is bolted on the back. A Ford 8.8"
with 3.73 TracLoc rear axle is standard fare to put power to the
ground. Power disc brakes on all four wheels slow the velocity of
this Bullitt.
Undercarriage
If you've ever questioned surface rust, this car will allay your
fears. Here's a garaged car with less than 1,500 miles and has
surface rust on untreated parts that include the driveshaft, rear
axle, and other components. Harmless surface rust happens! The rest
of the underside is clean and dry. On board is independent coil
spring front suspension, and a 3 link with panhard bar rear
suspension. From the engine's manifolds to the Bullitt specific
H-pipe and muffler and chrome tips, the underneath looks great.
Drive-Ability
A push of the start button and you have one of the nicest sounding
exhaust tones you'll hear, here at Classic Auto Mall. Off to the
test loop where it demonstrated nice acceleration, good handling
and crisp braking. All working and just a comfy modern interior. As
expected with a car with such low mileage, everything we tested
functioned as it should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that
these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
Here's a nicely preserved, practically new example of the Mustang
Bullitt. And not to beat a dead horse, but Bullitt Mustangs pass
through Classic Auto Mall faster than a .308 through a Daniel
Defense. So saddle up, keep your powder dry, and head on over to
Morgantown, Pennsylvania. Or simply call our helpful staff!
