Ingo ◊ 2007-12-16 18:02	A poor and failed try. The front looks like the face of a notorious drinker, when it was smashed after a good old country-style punch-up at a rural Oktoberfest. I'm not a big fan of US-cars and I don't like nearly any Ford's (whatever from which country they are), but that one: /vehicle_2159-Ford-Mustang-1968.html will never been beaten. Have you seen the TC-commercial of the Ford Cougar? The mounted Bullitt-scenes included Steve McQueen in it - one more reason for me to hate Ford. -- Last edit: 2007-12-16 18:02:45
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-12-16 18:08	i want one of these Bullit edition Mustangs
Ingo ◊ 2007-12-16 18:19	Why?
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-12-16 18:23	Because of what it represents, i like bullit car chase and i like the fact that the mustang used in that chase has been having Bullit editions during the years, and becuase i simply love Mustangs
Ingo ◊ 2007-12-16 18:31	For me it represents nothing, just a try of retro-style. The original counts, only the original.
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-12-16 18:34	I think its well done that "try" as you call it, it has the line of those old Mustangs, and also similar alloys, its actually the only things it can have similar, its not gonna have the old engine as well... but anyway as a Spanish saying says, Colours were made for tastes.
Neptune ◊ 2007-12-16 18:38	I do not find it so bad either, "Imitation is the most sincere from of flattery" ... It will never be the original, but it is a tribute to the original.
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-12-16 18:40	That's right
Ingo ◊ 2007-12-16 19:14	For me it looks like a beaten drinker's face anyways
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-12-16 19:21	How stupid but oh well its your opinion
Red Grant ◊ 2007-12-16 19:47	The exaust was made to sound exactly like the car in the movie! It cant really get much more imitative than that.
jettalover ◊ 2007-12-17 03:37	The current Mustang is a true fastback just like the original Bullitt. Much closer to the original than last Bullitt which was a notchback, not a fastback. You can get the '08 in Black also, but I don't know why someone would not want the green color.
CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2007-12-17 11:21	wow wow wow, have you said Bullit remake? !!!
CrazyCars ◊ 2007-12-17 13:00	It costs £15,000 or about 21,050 EUR
CrazyCars ◊ 2007-12-17 14:24	Oh, i heard from a frien it was £15,000. A GT costs £14,500 at the dealer here, that is tax free.
CrazyCars ◊ 2007-12-29 12:03	Wasserspeier wrote Can't be. A new normal GT costs more than 40000 EUR here in Germany. In the British Top Gear Magazine they said the Bullitt cost £15,000?
Yvon52 ◊ 2007-12-29 12:16	here is the price http://gribouille.over-blog.com/article-13711865.html 31.000 dollars Buy them in Luxemburg, here are Mustang dealers !!!!
CrazyCars ◊ 2007-12-29 12:57	$31,000 21,060 EUR £15,527
CrazyCars ◊ 2007-12-29 12:58	Cheap Car, maybe Wasserspeier, you can afford a Mustang....
CrazyCars ◊ 2007-12-29 16:33	If it's an import, it will cost quite a lot to ship and all that, it's probably not worth it
antp ◊ 2007-12-29 17:46	Due to low dollar value compared to euro, shipping is probably not much a problem (I wonder how they do in the other way, for the cars made in Europe for the USA...)

TheJudge ◊ 2008-12-07 00:45	Best looking Mustang of the 2005-2009 generation, imo.
San ◊ 2024-12-10 03:28	TheJudge wrote Best looking Mustang of the 2005-2009 generation, imo. Agreed, the Bullitt editions are my favorite look for the S197 (Pics of one during my visit to Illinois last year at La Grange)
