Steve McQueen's Car Reborn.

 I have seen this car before at work but very rarely have i been able to examine one let along take some shots of it. And due to this particular Mustangs low production numbers, some people may not be able to tell what kind of Mustang it is.

What it is, is a 2008 Ford Mustang GT "Bullitt" Edition. This special trim level was introduced to pay homage to the 1968 Mustang GT-390 driven by Steve McQueen in the "Bullitt" movie. Only 7000 were produced and this one is one of those, not a replica or kit.

Ford took every opportunity to make the new car look almost the same as the old one from the Dark Highland Green paint job to the pony-less grille with the aluminum strip surround to the removal of the GT spoiler from the rear deck. Black wheels with silver rims and black brake calibers completed the exterior design.

The interior of the car, was done up in black leather with satin aluminum trim pieces, shift knob and pedal covers. The engine was tweaked with a cold air intake, remapped ECU, and a much wider diameter exhaust, which helped it develop 315 hp and 325 foot pounds of torque. To help with the handling a strut brace was added to stiffen the chassis as well as upgraded suspension.

This is by far, one of the best attempts i've seen at making a classic movie car modern, and I'm sure that if Steve McQueen could see it now I'm sure he would have placed an order.
