Vehicle Description
You're meeting this 2008 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt edition at its
crossroads. This coupe has been upgraded with all the right engine,
suspension, and body components to be an exceptional speed machine.
But also, Ford made less that 1,500 of the 2008 Bullitt cars in
black. So do you collect this rarity, take it out to eat the
streets, or with such an affordable price, do you want to do
both?
The Bullet edition Mustangs were all about attitude. We all know
the movie car was green, but Ford also offered it in black, because
it's the color the bad guys had (and that's really the attitude we
wanted to see from McQueen anyway, right?) Today the factory
original paint is complete and looks very nice for the mileage,
which helps with the collectability of the rare color. This special
edition Mustang is a clean and sleek machine, just like the one
Steve McQueen used to run down the bad guys all over the hills of
San Francisco. So it's all about emphasizing the smooth lines of
the retro pony car - the only badging you'll even find is on the
rear center cap. But you also instantly can see that there have
been upgrades for added attitude. It includes the new front air
dam, and wider 18-inch American Racing wheels, which hint at the
upgrades within (more on that in a moment.)
And with a car so aggressively dark outside, only an equally
aggressive black interior will do. But as you sit down in the power
adjusting leather bucket, you instantly notice plenty of bright
upgrades over the standard Mustang GT. The machine turned panels
that flow across the dash are great exclusive pieces to get your
blood pumping, and the Bullitt center cap on the horn reminds you
this is a special Mustang. Of course, the upgrade to a Hurst short
throw shifter might just be your favorite. This one is loaded with
features such as air conditioning, power windows, power locks, dual
airbags, tilt wheel, ABS, cruise control, and a powerful AM/FM/CD
changer unit with subwoofers for thumpin' sound. In fact, the just
about only feature you don't have is a back seat. Instead, it has
been removed to save weight and extra bracing was added. That's
another clear indication of this car's upgraded aggression.
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 4.6-liter V8 that
made this new generation of retro pony cars an instant modern
legend. Ford knows their customers like they do customization, so
the Bullitt edition already came with upgrades like the custom
strut tower brace, cold air kit, and a howling dual exhaust that
made this car sound like the one in the movie. But we bet you've
already spotted some additional components like the Ford Racing
intake. This, along with the upgraded cam and 60mm Shelby GT 500
throttle body, are part of a package that not only makes this V8
more aggressive, but also makes it ready to add a supercharger now.
An upgraded motor also needs the right suspension to handle it all,
and so there have been fortifications made such as a K-member
brace, rear tunnel brace, and subframe connectors. This is a true
driver's car thanks to the control of the five-speed manual
transmission, and the vented four-wheel disc brakes package that
directly connects to Nitto performance tires.
Complete with owner's manual, you are looking at a rare treat
that's been upgraded with all the best components. So when it's all
at this affordable price, and has the allure of Steve McQueen, you
know you need to act fast. Call now!!
