Used 2008 Ford Mustang for sale in Grand Rapids

Seller description

2008 was the 40th anniversary of the film Bullitt, the movie that cemented the Mustang's reputation as the definitive American performance car and made Steve McQueen the king of cool in the process. Ford marked the occasion by bringing the Bullitt name back to a production Mustang for the second time, and journalists who drove both editions agreed that the 2008 was considerably closer in spirit to the original than the 2001 had been, with the retro lines of the S197 platform bringing it as close to the 1968 movie car as any factory-built Mustang had ever come. Only 5,772 were built for the 2008 model year. This one is finished in black, the rarer of the two colors available, completely original with no modifications, and as clean an example as you will find. Under the hood is the 4.6 liter V8 producing 315 horsepower, backed by the Tremec TR-3650 five speed manual with a 3.73 rear gear ratio that Ford specified to improve acceleration and give the car a more aggressive, connected feel than the standard GT. Ford also fitted the Bullitt with its first-ever open-element cold air intake in a factory fuel-injected Mustang, along with a specific exhaust tuned to replicate the sound of the 1968 movie car. The result is a car that sounds and feels like more than the numbers suggest, which is exactly what every journalist who drove it said at the time. Inside, the black leather interior is clean and correct. Each 2008 Bullitt came with a unique dash applique, a polished aluminum shift knob designed specifically for this car, and its own individual VIN-specific serialized plaque on the strut tower brace. The Euroflange Bullitt wheels are the factory-style Torq Thrust inspired design that defines the look of this generation, and the spoiler-delete and badge-free exterior keep the car as clean and understated as the original was. The Bullitt name has now appeared on three separate production Mustangs, and each one has held its value better than the standard GT it was based on. A black 2008 in original, unmodified condition is exactly the specification that collectors are looking for as these cars settle into their place in Mustang history.
