I’m back and happy to report I still have my license! I’ve managed to put about 700 miles on it since December! There’s only one thing I like better than driving it and that’s surfing and that has been my main distraction since April.

The car has received lots of attention, even from the beamer/audi/chevy/dodge charger folks. The understated appearance is what seems to bring out the most favorable comments.

The first three gears are very strong…. head snapping on 93 octane. It is very nimble taking hard corners… it wants to be pushed. But the tires are a little disappointing, not as sticky as I would have liked… that will be fixed. The ride is tight and would be a problem for me if I used it as a my daily ride, especially with the terrible roads in NJ. I won’t talk about the exhaust rumble other than to say it gets people looking, but by then it’s too late… I’m gone.

Planning to add a little more zip via a SC. Waiting for FRP to introduce a Roush unit that will fit w/o having to rework the shock tower strut. Design, I’m told, not yet finalized and actually may require a new strut. Need to be prepared for those retro hemi-chargers, which also look very cool!

my 65 mustang convertible is the quintisencial mother of all mustangs, I whouldnt trade it for all the audi’s and beemers out there. go Ford! were both looking good at 40.

Ford’s stock is at $10/share. Buy an Audi instead of this “midlife crisis mobile”.

If you haven’t driven a 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt, you don’t know what you’re missing. More’s the pity.

Amen to enjoying your BULLITT! I would much rather drive my BULLITT than a darn Audi. In addition any one of my other vintage muscle cars would smoke the Audi.

You buy a AUDI, I’ll enjoy my Bullitt made in America.

I brought my bullitt back in March #3155. It has 300 miles so far. Anyone notice surface rust on their exhaust sytems? I thought the exhaust was to be stainless steel one? Also, does the exhaust sytem get better sounding with the more miles u put on her? So, it seem the same as my 05 GT was!!!

I bouth the bullitt in March, love the car. Has anyone put a supercharger on their’s or anyone know anything about changeing the chip for a little more power Thanks

I have had my Bullitt since June 2, and have loved every mile I have put on it. FYI, it is #2865!! Heads turn everywhere I go, and have only seen one other one on the road. I found out about a car show on 6/20/08 at 4 in afternoon, entered car in a car show the next morning and never did get it as clean as I should have, but took 3rd place and had an automatic 2 point deduction for no fire extinguisher. What an awesome first Mustang I bought….just writing this makes me want to go for a cruise.

Didn’t the original Bullitt have balls? What kind of pansy crap is 315 horsepower. That equates to about 250 at the wheels. Ford should at least mildy supercharge it and give buyers some real incentive. My 05 Procharged is putting 530 RWHP and makes this car look like something for little girls. Wake up Ford.

Amen Scott C!!! I couln’t have said it any better. I love my #5418 in Dark Highland Green. It’s a blast to drive, it turns alot of heads and it was affordable.

I second the reply to horsepower comment. I think the reason Ford produced (with Shelby) a 500hp and 540hp mustang is so that people who wanted that kind of power in their Pony they could pay their money for it. The Bullitt, for me, represents the thrill I had as a 12 year old watching McQueen pilot his 68 Mustang GT 390 around San Francisco looking super cool. I promised myself that one day I’d own a car like the one I saw in the movie and Ford made that possible with the 08 Bullitt. I think for those of you who never saw the movie, you just don’t get this. I don’t some you ever will. Great job Ford on this edition of the Bullitt. I thoroughly enjoy mine.

Yes the original did, as does the 08/09. Here we go again with the horsepower thing. This car is a limited edition anniversary model of the original. It is not intended to be anything more. With it’s engineering it is quicker then the original. It is 2008…not 1968. I don’t care if it has 315 at the wheels, flywheel or in a magazine. This car is a great ride…great acceleration…great trans…excellent/excellent handling and an awesome exhaust note in keeping with the movie. If I wanted 500 hp I would have bought the GT500 for $75,000. If I smoke my tires in a burnout is the smoke any different then your 530hp car…..if I go 150mph in my Bullitt does it feel any different then 150 in yours….so you get there a few seconds sooner…big deal. Tell me where you can go other than a track to experience the difference in the HP so many speak of. I am never going to hit 200mph unless someone can gaurantee that no deer or vehicle is coming in front of me much less the police citing me for wreckless driving and throwing me in the can…That being said I might tweak the #1144 Bullitt I own with a supercharger …..because I can, but that is no reflection on FORD and what they have produced in the Bullitt. Not every car they produce can have 500 hp like the red with white stripe GT 500 or the blue with white stripe GT 500 or the white w/ blue stripe or the black w/white stripe GT 500. You want a GT 500…buy it….you want a KR…buy it….you want a Bullitt….buy it…..but always remember….you think you got the fastest,baddest car…..just blink your eyes and there will be a car that will be looking at you in the rear view mirror. It might not even be made in this country! The DARK HIGHLAND GREEN BULLITT is the best look in a car as I have seen in years and the heads that turn prove it….

FUN FUN FUN, MY WIFE LOVES IT! I FIRST SAW THE MOVIE BULLITT AT THE WAIKIKI THEATER IN FEBRUARY 1969 WHEN I WAS 14 YEARS OLD ON VACATION WITH MY MOM AND DAD. I WATCHED IT THREE TIMES, BECAUSE OF THE CHASE SEEN! WHAT A COOL CAR! THE WIFE AND I WENT FOR ICE CREAM LAST NIGHT, AND I SAID, LETS GO LOOK AT THE NEW MUSTANGS . THE REST IS HISTORY. LEFT THE DEALER AT 12:15 AM WITH A BULLITT .

Love the car, have had #4505 for about a month, 2100 miles and it just runs like a dream….had an 06 gt and there is just no comparison. thanks ford, have only seen one other bullitt on the road so far.

Bought #4858 a month ago, and I am in love!!! This is by far the best of the three Mustangs I have owned. This one has found a permanent home!

I am a proud owner of Bullitt #3964…..She is my garage queen….I love her and have only about 200 miles on her….i got her in April….this is THE BEST CAR EVER!!!!!!!!

is 87 octane gas recommended by Ford for the bullitt?

The 2008 Mustang manual recommends 91 octane gas for the Bullitt, but it will run on 87 octane without damaging the engine. From my own personal experience, I believe my Bullitt runs better on 91 octane. I can’t believe this car hasn’t sold out yet.

When will Ford dealer reps begin the manual allocation of the 2,100 production run for 09? My dealer has my deposit but no one knows when I can order the champagne!

Bill,
Ilive in Newport News, VA. One of our local dealers, Bowditch Ford has three they would very much like to sell. Don’t know where you live, but it might be cheaper and quicker to check with this dealership @ see what you can work out.

#2517

Wow!! I was perfectly happy with my 2005 until I received the e-mail from Ford showing the Bullitt. Don’t know if there are any left or not (will have to check). I could just die happy if I owned one!!!

owner of #3588, i’ve been getting more and more comments at “red lites” about what a great car. i think the magazine coverage has gotten the attention up. and the guy who said he got the car for 25,000. stop dreaming and wake up. thanks ford for building this one.

25,000? I agree, someone is dreaming. I got mine at Ford Employee Discount cost and it was still 27,400. I have read on other posts of people paying as much as 4,000 over sticker for these cars, so I know I got a great deal!

What is red lites? where can I find the forum or site. Thank you.

We’ll see…if the Camaro ever gets here….

exactly…

I bought my Bullitt 2249 in February 08 from a dealer in Springfield VA. It performs well and looks great. I have less than 700 miles on it and have recently noticed an annoying bird-chirping sound coming from the driver’s side of the car, which I suspect is either a bad bearing or ball-joint. It gets progressively louder the longer I drive, suggesting that heat exacerbates the problem. I am curious to know if anyone else has experienced this.

For gripes - what’s with the air-pump for a spare tire and the blinker signal “sound” (tacky)!… And I never got the Bullitt DVD, which I understand was supposed to come with the car.

Tom, if a noise is bugging you take it to the dealership and have them look at it, its under warranty. The trunk is small and the tires on this car are pretty big so that put a “space saver” pump instead. I know someone who bought a spare through the dealership if that really bugs you. Last, the movie did not come with my bullitt. My advice, buy or order the digitally remastered version of the film - the chase scene looks and sounds awesome! Have fun!

Finally, Someone realizes that these imports are costing us our jobs and homes to say the least. Keep up the good work Ford. I still drive a 68 Ford 390. 11,00,000 miles on it. American made. maintanace and care is the key. Nice mustang!! Have an 82 GT and a 95. I plan on keeping. thank you! Paul.

Bryan: You bought the one I wanted, but wasn’t ready to buy at the time (West LA right?) I wanted it because the number 1112 corresponds to my birthday. As it turns out, I bought another one from the same dealership. It’s been great to drive.

this is going to be one of the best sports cars no matter what others say about it! I think It’s going to be one of the BEST.

it will never touch the camaro. Car does not even look good not to mention it looks like an everyday mustang with the standard V6 not that cool

Yes, you are correct it will never touch the Camaro, as in ‘64 the “me too” Chev is still 3 years away.

I have had my 5 SPeed 07 Mustang GT now for a full year and it has been the best driving year of my life. It has some great company in my garage with my 64 1/2 289 4BBL Mustang convertible with original Gold Annodized V8 emblems on it. It was manufactured April 2, 1964 and never left Detroit until September 1964. I wonder who drove my Pony in Detroit…. maybe one of the Fords?

MY HUSBAND JUST BROUGHT ME A BULLITT 4945 , I JUST LOVE IT , EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS AWESOME ,GEEZ THE WAY THIS CAR HUGS THE TURNS BLEW ME AWAY ! LADIES GOTTA GET THE EMERAL GREEN ITS BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU FORD WHAT A MAGNIFICENT GEM. MAHALO

The Bullitt sure is getting a lot of play in the media–and rightly so, I may add. Not only does it appear in the July issue of “Road and Track,” but also in the July issue of “Car and Driver.”

I am the proud owner of #4158. What a great car. I look forward to many years in my dream machine.

I come from a family of Ford freaks and I am one myself. I must admitt that the 08 Bullitt is the most beatiful creature that I have ever seen in my life. I am blown away by the perfomance, power and sheer want for the road and race track that this car has. I would love to own one just (it would look good in my driveway) but the price tag keeps me from it. So if anyone reads this that purchases one of these “bullitt expresses” spine the tires for me.

Ford, Great job! This is the best car I have ever owned. Thank you.

the new mustangs are the uglyest things ive ever seen stop showing them

I want to buy a 2008 Mustang Bullitt, but I’m not from the USA. Do you know any Mustang Bullitt Dealer and exporter?I mean an exporter that already knows the process.
Yud

Keep the price up……They are hard to come by

I just bought one and actually i got the dealership to go down to $25,000! You just have to be firm and tell them this is what I’m offering, take it or leave it! Don’t pay $31,000 for it.

I know a few dealerships with multiple Bullitts on the lot. With gas prices the way they are and the 09’s coming in, I figured id give some of the summer to see if the prices would come down, mabye around 26 or 27? anyone want to give their two cents? willingly taking suggestions

Don’t hold your breath. Sorry, but you are way off the mark. On a used one after a year or so, maybe, not on a new one-even if gas tops $5 a gallon.

Awsome, love the Bullitt Mustang video, and the sound, but really needs a better tire smoking burn out. Keep the American dream alive. and well, and shove it down the imports throat, and to the people who buy their crap.

I am proud owner of #2800. what an awesome car!! Raw power mixed with looks to match. LOVEIN it!

Ive always been a Chevy Man but times change.. I’m now the proud owner of #3588.. this car is to cool not to get one.(if you can) I Love It!!

One BEAUTIFUL car!!!!!!!!!
To DIE for!!!

I just bought Bullitt #1112 in April. I wrote a blog about this eye-catching, exciting, and very quick car on My Space. Feel free to check it out. After shopping around at half a dozen dealers, I was able to buy my Bullitt for less than the MSRP. This car is a trip, the whole package. Now, I’m not sure I want them, but, in case I did, where would you get louvered windows like the ones on Steve McQueen’s 1968 Mustang GT 390?

That car is HOT! Steve McQueen is (was) HOT. I can’t decide if I want the car for myself or if I want to be the HOT chick in the passenger seat. I think I want it for myself!

Proud owner of #4453……Black…..Beautiful car….Anyone know hoow many Black one’s are made?

They only making 1,000 in black!

I lOvE MUsTaNg AnD I ReAlLy wAnT To sEE ThAt nEw CaR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great car, but I picked up the black one. But I think I am going to have to sleep in it. 2 people have tryed to steel it. And 1 person tryed to jack me in SLC. UT. by the way how do you know what number you have?

The serial number is on the strut tower brace that goes from shock to shock over the top of the engine- you can’t miss it.

Sorry to hear that; I didn’t know that SLC was such a hood. I doubt that I would have owned my Bullitt if I still lived in NYC.

Just bought #4533. Fabulous vehicle. I hope to keep it for my lifetime. Sound of the exhaust is dead on. Green is incredible - an American work of art. My wife and I love it.

I bought #3268 in mid April at Maquires Ford in Hershey PA. Sticker was $31,068 with the only extra being Sirius sat. witch I could do without but what the hay. I did not hagel and they gave me $1500 in factory cash anyway. An awesome dealer sold me an awesome car. I would have bought a new Mustang in 05 but they did not come in green (that is NOT green). This was worth the wait and I could not be happier. It looks awesome next to my dark green ProStreet 78 Pinto. Now, when is the Boss and the Mach1 coming?

I am the proud owner of chassis # 2517. My only disappointment has been the replacement of a decent spare with that crappy sealent

I have 3037. Has anyone put a supercharger on their car. I see Rousch makes one and is still under warranty Thanks

I just got my Bullitt and my wife and l are in love again. I never owned a mustany before but being a baby boomer I feel young again. It’s not much but it is our little spot of heaven. People have noticed it and appreciate what Ford has done. Ford has done some great things with vehicles and I wish people would realize the American cars have class that should not be over looked. This Ford Mustang is a true icon in every sense of the term and America should wake up and realisze how lucky we are to have Ford and not be FOOLED by the phoney offerings by Japan company. Buy American and get the real thing not something that sends the profits to Tokyo.

RIGHT ON!!

i just test drove the 2008 bullitt, it was AMAZING! im still in awe with the growl and the power of the 315hp v8. i will definitely going to buy one this weekend!

Nowhere near the same car I grew up with. Go Steve Mc Queen!!!

Hi there, how and where do you order one of these cars?
I’ve been all over the Ford website and can’t see where you order the Bullitt.

Where can I buy a bullit<

REMOVE 5028……ordered on Jan 9th…….received on april 26…..must be a new record…..
