Youre meeting this 2008 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt edition at its crossroads. This coupe has been upgraded with all the right engineand#44; suspensionand#44; and body components to be an exceptional speed machine. But alsoand#44; Ford made less that 1and#44;500 of the 2008 Bullitt cars in black. So do you collect this rarityand#44; take it out to eat the streetsand#44; or with such an affordable priceand#44; do you want to do both? The Bullet edition Mustangs were all about attitude. We all know the movie car was greenand#44; but Ford also offered it in blackand#44; because its the color the bad guys had (and thats really the attitude we wanted to see from McQueen anywayand#44; right?) Today the factory original paint is complete and looks very nice for the mileageand#44; which helps with the collectability of the rare color. This special edition Mustang is a clean and sleek machineand#44; just like the one Steve McQueen used to run down the bad guys all over the hills of San Francisco. So its all about emphasizing the smooth lines of the retro pony car – the only badging youll 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 damand#44; and wider 18-inch American Racing wheelsand#44; which hint at the upgrades within (more on that in a moment.) And with a car so aggressively dark outsideand#44; only an equally aggressive black interior will do. But as you sit down in the power adjusting leather bucketand#44; 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 pumpingand#44; and the Bullitt center cap on the horn reminds you this is a special Mustang. Of courseand#44; the upgrade to a Hurst short throw shifter might just be your favorite. This one is loaded with features such as air conditioningand#44; power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; dual airbagsand#44; tilt wheeland#44; ABSand#44; cruise controland#44; and a powerful AM/FM/CD changer unit with subwoofers for thumpin sound. In factand#44; the just about only feature you dont have is a back seat. Insteadand#44; it has been removed to save weight and extra bracing was added. Thats another clear indication of this cars 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 customizationand#44; so the Bullitt edition already came with upgrades like the custom strut tower braceand#44; cold air kitand#44; and a howling dual exhaust that made this car sound like the one in the movie. But we bet youve already spotted some additional components like the Ford Racing intake. Thisand#44; along with the upgraded cam and 60mm Shelby GT 500 throttle bodyand#44; are part of a package that not only makes this V8 more aggressiveand#44; but also makes it ready to add a supercharger now. An upgraded motor also needs the right suspension to handle it alland#44; and so there have been fortifications made such as a K-member braceand#44; rear tunnel braceand#44; and subframe connectors. This is a true drivers car thanks to the control of the five-speed manual transmissionand#44; and the vented four-wheel disc brakes package that directly connects to Nitto performance tires. Complete with owners manualand#44; you are looking at a rare treat thats been upgraded with all the best components. So when its all at this affordable priceand#44; and has the allure of Steve McQueenand#44; you know you need to act fast. Call now!! |
