Bullitt is out!

I saw it drive by my house yesterday. I thought it was an illusion or a clone. Then I saw this video.

So. . . .besides being green and having red calipers why are they any more special than any other v8 mustang of similar vintage?

I know the auto makers like playing on nostalgia but is there anything to support the huge dealer markup these (especially the first ones on the street) will bring?

It's not even the first "Bullitt" edition...or the second.

Exactly, Ford has milked the Bullitt connection for every drop. Its a family buying a new car. Thousands just like them everyday.

Now if we are talking one of two surviving 1968 Mustangs used in the movie, that would be something to get excited about.

Again with the re-badge.
If you dig it go for it.

If I hit the lotto I'll have Dynacorn build me a REAL Bullitt tribute! That be sweet with a coyote motor and modern suspension under it. I don't think I'd be able to do the jumps though, it's too destructive on the equipment.

This is the second time in a week I have heard about a "coyote" Mustang. What does that mean, exactly?

It’s the code name for the current model 5.0 engine

460 hp, 420 lbs/ft. Not too shabby and like any of the new engines easily tweaked with a laptop.

I think it is cool.

Check out this Bullitt video, the guys last name is Miller so you know he has to be a hell of a guy...
