Last seen in the 2020 model year, the Ford Mustang Bullitt has popped up from time to time throughout Blue Oval history, paying tribute to the iconic pony car that starred in the Steve McQueen film of the same name. As such, the Bullitt has plenty of fans out there seeking nice examples of those tributes, and from time to time, we see precisely that. Now, we can add this unique 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt to that list, but this time around, it isn’t exactly some stock, low-mile example that’s been stored away and untouched.
Rather, this 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt – which is up for grabs at Bring a Trailer right now – has been treated to at least one notable modification, though one would be hard-pressed to tell from the outside. There, we simply see a super-clean Dark Highland Green Metallic beauty that has traveled 57k miles and is one of 5,772 built. The car did suffer some damage in an accident in 2008 and minor issues following a front-end scuffle in 2015, but it has been repaired and looks good as new.
The interior is in nice condition as well, full of things like Dark Charcoal leather seats, air conditioning, ambient lighting, and a Pioneer CD stereo, though there is a little normal wear and tear present. The real news lies under the hood, however, where the factory 4.6L V8 has been treated to a Roush M90 supercharger kit with a 73mm pulley, an air-to-water intercooler, a revised intake manifold, and updated induction and fuel systems – resulting in 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque flowing to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox and 3.73 gears.
Of course, for those that prefer something a little more stock and perhaps collectible, there are plenty of other Ford Mustang Bullitts out there that fit the bill. That list has most recently included a pair of 2008 models – one with 4k miles and another with 46k – as well as a 2009 with a mere 7k miles on the clock.

Why does Ford have problems with their rear camera on so many different models and Lincolns too? This isn’t rocket science. You’d think they’d have fixed this across the board year ago. It’s been going on for nearly a decade now.
