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 6,233 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 six 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. The side
steel panels flow nicely with well minded gaps and in the back we
find an understated deck lid with no spoiler 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 with an early 2021 date code. Only two
small imperfections were found; a small ding on a door and a
horizontal inclusion on the rear bumper cover.
Interior
Bullitt engraved sill plates are met with attractive gray door
panels that utilize molded plastic and leather inserts. 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. Under the black textured dash cover
and among the machine spun aluminum front are two large round deep
set gauges, somewhat retro in design, 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,
and a finished trunk has the requisite contoured gray panels and
remains spotless.
Drivetrain
A strut tower brace bridges the bay where you'll find the 4.6 liter
3 valve V8, rated at 315 horsepower and mated to the Tremec 3650
5-speed manual transmission. Ponies are routed to the Ford 8.8" in
back with 3.73 gears and TracLoc.
Undercarriage
Time more than use has induced the typical surface rust and
oxidation on things like the driveshaft and axle on an otherwise
clean underside. The dual exhaust runs through original mufflers
and exits via aggressive polished tips and power disc brakes occupy
all four corners. Suspension consists of Macpherson struts up front
and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard bar in back, robust
enough to take this thoroughbred around turns.
Drive-Ability
No surprises on this low mileage pampered pony. A sweet exhaust
note, plenty of power underfoot, and very good handling prevails.
As with such low mileage, the functionality test scores 100 and
everything works 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, close to new example of the Mustang
Bullitt. Not to beat a dead horse, but Bullitt Mustangs pass
through Classic Auto Mall faster than a .44 through a Remington
1875. So, saddle up, keep your powder dry, and head on over to
Morgantown, Pennsylvania, or simply call our helpful staff!
