We Have Our First 2019 Mustang BULLITT !

We have our first 2019 Mustang BULLITT. It is in Highland Green, of course.   You can view it here:   https://www.mccombsfordwest.com/searchnew.aspx?Model=Mustang&st=Price+desc   Exterior color choices are Shadow Black and the classic Dark Highland Green which was the color of the original Mustang used in the movie. Other features that pay tribute to the car Steve McQueen drove are subtle chrome accents on the outer edge of the wheels, grille, and windows. Inside and out, the vehicle uses minimal badging; only the circular faux gas cap BULLITT logo on the rear center is visible on the exterior.   The Mustang BULLITT will share the same standard equipment as the Mustang GT Premium and the GT Performance Package. An active valve performance exhaust system is standard with new Black NitroPlate™ exhaust tips, and it is re-tuned to give the car a signature burble, as well as new Open Air Induction System and Shelby GT350 intake manifold with 87mm throttle bodies and powertrain control module calibration for optimal performance. Also standard is a 12-inch LCD digital instrument cluster with a unique Mustang BULLITT welcome screen.   In addition to information on the 2019 Mustang BULLITT, we thought you might enjoy this timeline and trivia regarding the original 1968 Mustang used in the movie:   1968     Warner Brothers purchases two 1968 Mustang GT Fastbacks for BULLITT movie production: VIN 8R02S125558 (‘558...the stunt car and heavily damaged in the chase scenes, now in Mexico) and 8R02S125559 (‘559...The "Hero" car used for the non-stunt scenes in the film)   1968     Warner Brothers employee Robert Ross purchases ‘559.   1970     Robert sells ‘559 to New Jersey police detective Frank Marranca for $6,000.   1974     Frank sells ‘559 to Robert and Robbie Kiernan for $6,000. The Kiernans uses ‘559 as their family car until 1980.   1977     Kiernan declines Steve McQueen’s offer to buy ‘559.   1978     Robbie purchases New Jersey “BULLITT” vanity plates as a gift to Robert.   1989     ‘559 follows its owners to a new home in Kentucky, and six years later on another move to Tennessee.   2001     Robert and his 20-year-old son Sean Kiernan start restoring ‘559.   2016     On July 4, Sean completes rebuild of ‘559 and starts it for the first time.   2017     ‘559 is reunited with McQueen family when Steve McQueen’s granddaughter, Molly McQueen, meets with Sean in Ford Design studio in Dearborn, MI.   2018     Sean reveals ’559 in Detroit for the 50th anniversary of the movie in conjunction with Ford’s announcement of the 2019 Mustang Bullitt.   Here is a little video on the original Bullitt: And...for those of you who never saw the iconic chase scene in three parts (I think the bad guy's charger loses 13 hubcaps! LOL):
