2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt on 2040-cars
Tempe, Arizona, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : eddyehhampon@topaddress.com .
There were 5773 Bullitts produced in 2008, 4377 were done in Dark Highland Green
7500 VERY CAREFUL miles - most of which were added by a 59-yr old driver (me) who got his hot-rodding done with the
last Corvette he owned and bought this as a work of art - not a daily driver. My Dad took me to see Bullitt when I
was a youngster, and I never forgot it. When I saw the introduction of this tribute car, I had to have it. No
scoops, no spoilers, no stripes - oh my! Very subtly understated, just like the king of cool himself.
The car was so perfect when I got it, I just had to keep it that way.
Early build number: 0545
Rare options: The car was custom-ordered with Navigation system, Ambient Lighting, and Hands-Free Phone - the Ford
Mobil-Ease Bluetooth system - installed at the factory These options alone added another $2980 on top of the $3310
Bullitt Package in the sticker-price. I have not seen another Bullitt with all three of these options.
Always garaged and covered
Never seen any bad weather
Every single engine startup/trip is logged along with trip miles and significant events (oil changes, etc.) in a
spreadsheet I will provide with the car. Every single mile is documented since I have owned it.
Still has the clear plastic peel-off protectors on the doorsills
Still has new car smell
The entire interior is perfect - no sign of wear anywhere
Leather Steering Wheel has NO shiny spots on it - just like new
No BURNOUTS, no REDLINING, no POTHOLES, no CURBS - if I ever found myself behind a cement mixer or garbage truck, I
took immediate evasive maneuvers to avoid
Car was never driven over 2,000 RPM until thoroughly warmed up
A/C was always cut-off several blocks from home to let the condenser cool down and the freon/oil settle prior to
shutdown
I know, I was a little bit crazy about this car
Driven just enough to keep all systems in good condition and all seals lubricated, etc. Every trip was a blast and
still felt as if I was just driving off the showroom floor.
Extras and Goodies that will be included with the car:
Framed and Signed Bullitt Movie Poster - 40" x 28" with five signatures from actors that were in the movie
including Steve himself - with Certificate of Authenticity
The other signatures are from:
Jacqueline Bissett
Robert Duvall
Robert Vaughan
Simon Oakland
High-Quality Model of 1968 Bullitt Mustang in display case
High-Quality Model of 2008 Bullitt in wood/glass display case
Nice model of 1968 Black Charger in display case
Framed Original 2008 Dealer poster - 40" x 32" - the original buyer insisted on taking this from the Dealer's
showroom wall before he would complete the purchase.
Ford new car brochures and postcard Bullitt advertisements
Repro metal California License Plates - Black/Yellow - from both the Mustang (JJZ 109) and the Charger (RDR 838)
ALL Documentation included - every little piece of paper since new including little cards hanging from interior of
car, etc.
Several Car Magazines from 2007/2008 announcing the coming and arrival of the Bullitt
Framed Certificate from Ford Performance verifying VIN and build number as a genuine Bullitt
Framed original window sticker
Two framed Steve McQueen Bullitt Movie Posters
Bullitt T-Shirt - too small for me anyway
Additional Info:
Oil Changes with 100% synthetic performed at least annually - regardless of mileage
Fuel additive used to prevent any varnishing of fuel components - Archoil
Battery Tender Jr. bolted directly to battery terminals is included - still has original battery in perfect
condition
Navigation Update performed in 2015 - latest Ford Disc was purchased and installed
Still has some of the little rubber casting spikes on the tire sidewalls
RPM-Matched every shift - up or down
Paint finish is like glass with no imperfections. Only mark on the car is on the rear bumper when I was pushing the
car back and bumped into the garage door and one of the hinge bolts pressed into the paint a little bit (see last
two pictures.)
Never taken to a car-wash - always hand-cleaned/polished/waxed - no swirls, etc.
If you are looking for a pristine example of the breed, look no further - this is IT
No disappointments
Car has had 3 owners - the original buyer was a huge Bullitt enthusiast who paid a large premium for one of the
earliest cars, and was insistent on keeping the car perfect. Fortunately, he was also very meticulous about keeping
EVERYTHING to do with the car, even sale paperwork, registration documents, recall maintenance, service history,
etc. The second owner was just as fastidious, and drove the car primarily to car shows and never used it as a
driver. I bought the car from him with 2950 miles on it, and it was everything he said it was. Since then, it has
not grown any older if I could help it.
I have been more of a caretaker for it than a driver and now it is time to pass that responsibility on to someone
else.
That privilege and responsibility will cost you $25,000 and well worth it

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
