All new for 2008 is the Ford Mustang Bullitt edition. This is the
first time the Bullitt package has been offered in the newest 2005
and up mustang platform and it certainly does not disappoint. The
car is styled using clues from the 2001 Bullitt Mustang and on the
original 1968 Ford Mustang GT
used in the movie Bullitt starring Steve McQueen. This Bullitt Mustang
features a host of upgrades to the standard Ford Mustang GT. Production
is limited to 7000 vehicles. Judging on the collectability of the
2001 version this new Bullitt Mustang is certain to be the pride
of many garages for years to come.

an exhaust system designed to imitate the original 1968 Bullitt
mustang.
