Which was a lot more money than today. Was a fair price. It was 9 years old. 289 v8, factory AC, power steering and manual 4 wheel drums. Has the optional hood with the turn signals in it. Looks cool at night! I still have it, still on the road. In really nice shape in and out.cant believe it just turned 50 years old ! Or that I just turned 59 ! People ask if I'll sell. NO WAY!

Here you have two extremities of attitude and technology illustrated.. One, the original Bullitt Mustang, defiant of it's slightly neglected care- all the better in light of historic true grit preservation- and the "I'm gonna fix it up one day" persoonia of it's owner. Accolades to the family who had a vison, if not for the sake of their own selfish merits, the car has survived. The other, a high brass executive whose temperament is all derived from marketing and flash with little conciseness of what was unfolding here. With the passing of 50 years the enigma of legend- a dumpy beefed up Falcon addressed a market awaiting a car. In 1964 I believe 65% of the population were under 17. Only a few years onward and well over a million Mustangs sold, everyone who walked out of the theaters in 1968 knew the real star of the movie wasn't the admirable McQueen- but one 68 fastback. True car geeks know that no tire squeeecking, body rolling, swaggering wild horse is going to keep pace with a gallant Charger. No matter-you always sell the sizzle--not the steak. In retrospect from the cinematic view, other than The French Connection or perhaps To Live and Die in LA films like Corvette Summer, Vanishing Point and Gone is 60 seconds are no comparison to one particular chase scene that made a movie. And now they are naming limited edition cars after it? Just maybe if Dynacore- or whatever the company that is reproducing the first generation Mustangs, would come out with their own version of a Bullitt Mustang- with angle iron affixed to the frame rails- i'd be more prone to order one of them before that ego based induced blob of a Mustang.

Can't get into the new body style. '05-'09 was pretty faithful to the original. '10-'12 not quite as nice, '13-'14 has the GT500 look, again, not as nice. Then '15 happened. Good grief. They need to clean house at Ford. Stocks have been dropping steadily since 2014 and have not come up since. I don't really care how much horsepower they put into these. As long as it's similar to the original Bullitt, I'd take the original look over power any day.
