2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt Used Cars

 

The Mustang Bullitt is designed to recall the 1968 Mustang Fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the late 1960s movie “Bullitt,” which is widely considered to be the cinematic father of the modern car chase scene. Equipped with a Ford Racing Power Pack cold air induction kit, the Bullitt model makes 315 hp and 325 ft.-lbs. of torque, revs to 6,500 rpm, and achieves a top speed of 151 mph. Suspension and chassis modifications upgrade the handling, carbon metallic front brake pads improve braking, the exhaust note is tuned to mimic the car used in the original movie, and dark gray 18-inch wheels are wrapped in high-performance rubber. Paint choices are Dark Highland Green (same as the movie car) or Black, with a Charcoal Black leather interior, satin aluminum dash trim with a polished swirl finish, better bolstered front seats, and a special polished aluminum shift knob.

Granted, the 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt (view images) is a distant relative of the model driven by McQueen in that famous flick of the same name, but the important stuff is there. Check the classifieds & you might discover a few black models, but we're keen on the Dark Highland Green examples. It's a color unique to the Bullitt, along with Bullitt alloy rims & an exterior devoid of the usual Mustang GT chrome extravagances. No shiny emblems, no fancy fog lights or decorations.

The Bullitt is comparatively plain compared to limitless other Mustang variants, & that's exactly why they love it. Well, that & the 315-horsepower V8 under the hood, its retuned chassis & front sport bucket seats sourced from the GT500.

Best of all, the exhaust has been tweaked to sound like McQueen's ride. Listen to it & you'll be hooked.

Average retail base cost for a 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt is $26,325.
