2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt GT

Description

Inspired by the movie that featured what is still one of the most talked about car chases in cinematic history, this 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt GT represents a rare opportunity. Its special edition status equips it with a number of welcome upgrades - as well as bona fide collectability - and it greets the present in strong fashion, having been lightly driven and consistently well-cared for over the years.

Just as was the case when that singular fastback emerged on the silver screen to the collective awe of classic car aficionados everywhere, this Mustang wears Highland Green paint, arguably one of the most coveted colors in its storied history. Take a closer look at this sharp ride and you'll see the styling cues that bring back memories of its classic forefathers - its sloping rear roofline with louvres on the sides instantly conjures up images of the Mustangs of the late 1960s. Dressed in such an evocative shade, the exterior is already very appealing and a cut and buff session at the hands of a skilled detailer would take things to an even higher level. You'll notice the absence of chrome trim - Lt. Frank Bullitt's ride didn't wear any chrome to speak of, either. That, combined with the set of sharp looking wheels this car rides on, gives it a decidedly aftermarket appearance, but luckily its previous owners resisted the temptation to add any unwarranted modifications, so it remains in the same configuration it left the factory with. Why mess with a winning formula, after all?

Climb inside and you'll notice a variety of tasteful distinctions that set this Mustang apart from its more commonly encountered stablemates. Its front bucket seats take their design from the Shelby GT500s of its era and, just beyond the special edition steering wheel, a striking aluminum panel with a machine-turned pattern spans the width of the cabin. There is also an assembly of clear, functional gauges in the instrument cluster that includes a font very reminiscent of those in classic Mustangs. The comfort and convenience features that you'd want in a frequent driver are all present and accounted for - air conditioning that blows cold and strong, power seats, power door locks, windows and mirrors and cruise control. Front and center on the dash, you'll also find a premium Shaker 500 AM/FM/cassette stereo that teams with a CD changer to accommodate your audio requests. In back, the fresh appearance of the trunk area is another indication of the careful use this special edition Mustang has received – it looks virtually untouched.

A fuel injected 4.6-liter stands by under the hood, ready to spring into action. Due to its light usage over the years, the engine is in its mechanical prime, and by virtue of this GT's special edition status, it received a special tuning upon leaving the factory to add 15 horses to its already substantial 300 horsepower output. The engine pairs with a 5-speed manual Tremec 3650 transmission that puts full control of its output in the hands of the driver. This car is really a lot of fun to drive - its power becomes evident right off the bat and it's running smoothly. With upgraded shocks and springs, as well as a strut tower brace in place to reduce body flex, this Mustang is well-equipped for spirited cornering. This great looking Pony Car rides on a set of 18" special edition wheels that are wrapped with BF Goodrich tires showing plenty of tread.

With its combination of undeniable curb appeal, strong running condition and special edition collectability, this 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt GT is a definite must see. Call today!
