"B UL L I T T" 1968 Mustang "BULLITT". Gorgeous Factory Highland Green Paint, "S" Code 390 V/8, 4 Speed, 3.25 9" TRACTION-LOK Rear Axle. P/ Disc Brakes. New Black Deluxe Interior. Gorgeous Red Oxide Undercarriage! A NICE EXAMPLE! A FULL RESTORATION HAS JUST BEEN COMPLETED!!
In the Movie "BULLITT", the chase scene certainly deserves its billing as one of the best in movie history! There's no camera tricks or special effects to screw it up, what you see is what you get. It just wouldn't be the same if one of today's big stars got in his BMW to chase another guy in a Porsche, complete with special effects. In short, 'Bullitt' uses real craftsmanship! And who could bring the character of Lt. Frank Bullitt to the movie better than Steve McQueen? No one! At the car chase beginning, the clicking music begins, all slow, following him, then the switch, they buckle up, music stronger, and we're off for a ride of your life!! It will be interesting to see how the movie " Eleanor" with all the special effects and the car will be viewed 40 years after the movie. We even built a nice 427 FE "Eleanor" about 6 years ago that sold for $175,000. Yes, it was a very nice! But I get a lot more excited about the BULLITT!! To me it is a BLAST from the PAST!! The late 1960's Muscle car era, when gas was less than 30 cents a gallon and a movie like "BULLITT" was the REAL DEAL!! Not a lot of smoke and mirrors. Today the Bullitt Mustang fastback and the Movie are as popular if not more than 41 years ago!! You need to watch BULLITT several times to understand everything that was going on in the film. Then you will realize why it is a "Classic"!! I have been a fan of the movie "BULLITT" and the "BULLITT" fastback mustang since the movie, the car and Steve McQueen first hit the big screen on Oct 17th 1968. The "BULLITT" Mustang is a GREAT LOOKING car from any angle!! It looks bad to the bone when it is speeding down the highway or it is just sitting in the parking lot!!
This Gorgeous 1968 HIGHLAND GREEN Mustang "BULLITT" Fastback just had a full restoration!! It was restored to look as close to the movie car as possible! To run out strong and sound like the "BULLITT" movie car!! Strong rebuilt S Code 390 V/8 with 428 Cobra Jet Exhaust manifolds! Beautifully detailed engine compartment. The rebuilt Toploader 4 Speed shifts out great!! Rebuilt 3.25 9" Traction-Lok rear axle. It steering so much better than it did in 1968 with the new modern Flaming River Needle Bearing 16:1 Ratio Steering Box, 8,000 Tachometer. It has the gorgeous Red Oxide Undercarriage like it did coming out of the factory!! You could eat off the bottom of the car!! It is a very nice!! Great stopping P/ Disc Brakes. All new fuel lines , brake lines and complete emergency brake cable set up. Beautiful New Black Bucket Seat interior. Sports Deck Rear Seat (Fold Down Sea with new chrome trim). The new Kenwood AM /FM Stereo sounds great! New Black Leather "Bullitt" Steering Wheel, New BLACKED "BULLITT" GRILLE, New Chrome and Trim. It has the COOL "Blacked Out" Bullitt Touch's in the rear like the movie car! "BULLITT" Style American Racing Torq-Thrust D Wheels and new Indy 500 Radial put the FINAL TOUCH to this GORGEOUS "BULLITT"!! It sounds great with the 428 Cobra Jet Exhaust manifolds great new exhaust system, A 1968 "BULLITT" like this doesn't usually last very long on this web site! . You would have a very hard time finding a nicer detailed "BULLITT" than this one!! This "BULLITT" RUNS OUT VERY STRONG and HANDLES GREAT!!! Again it is definitely a "COOL" BULLITT!! It would be a GREAT BULLITT to use if there was a remake of the BULLITT" movie! It LOOKS FAST EVEN when it is PARKED!! The 166 photos above shows how NICE EXAMPLE an this "BULLITT" is!! !! A VERY RARE FIND!!
