RE: 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt - Lots of Pics
Anybody remember the Bullitt edition mustang that kind of started it all off again? It was the "toyota" looking model of mustang and they released a bullitt edition of it that made it look closer to the 68 and I think it was so well received it probably prompted the rework.

RE: 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt - Lots of Pics
Toyota-looking model" = SN-95 platform. I want to say Ford produced somewhere between 5,500 - 6,500 2001 Bullitts
In 2001, the Special Edition Bullitt was released to the public. Available as a hardtop only, the Bullitt was a mildly upgraded version of the standard GT. Designed to be a handling-based vehicle as opposed to an all-out bruiser, the car was factory upgraded with a lowered suspension (3/4 inch), subframe connectors from the convertible models, new Tokico shocks, and brakes from the Cobra (13 in front, 11.7 in rear). The car also received an upgraded exhaust, a re-designed intake, and underdrive pullies. These power upgrades led to a factory rating of 265 hp (198 kW), a gain of five horespower over the standard GT. On the exterior, the car received unique Torq-Thrust style wheels, removal of the fog lights and rear deck spoiler, as well as new trim accents. It was available in three colors: Dark Highland Green, True Blue, and Black.
The success of the 2001 Bullitt led to the production of a second special edition, the 2003 to 2004 Mach 1.

I think that Ford could be doing more with the Mustang, Like they did back in the 60's. If we are headed back to another muscle car era like many of the automotive journalists are saying, we could see Ford, Dodge and GM offering different engines and trim packages like in the first era. For example, check out this link for these body kits for the current Mustang. I was torn between the Boss style Mustang or a new Challenger. I have always been a ford musclecar fan, but my all time favorite is a white 1970 Challenger r/t (vanishing point). So a white 2009 Challenger it is.
