Good news muscle car guys and tough guy fans. Ford is going to be building a replica of the 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback GT 390 that big bad Lt. Frank Bullitt drove in the movie, Bullitt. Ah yes, I can hear the big block V8 rumble from that car growling through San Francisco's streets like it was five minutes ago. I love it that in a time where hybrids are king in a global warming conscious world that the Ford motor company says, "Hey check out this cool 4.6 litre SOHC V8 prize that puts out a minimum of 270 horsepower." American muscle baby-home of the brave!
Get ready for it folks because Ford is only rolling out 7700 of these gems. Why? So the value of the car holds and the ones they build get snatched up lickety split.
And can we talk about Steve McQueen for a minute-mister Frank Bullitt. You don't get cool tough guys like him Chuck Bronson and Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry anymore. Instead you get Ledger and Gyllenhall camping out on broke back mountain. (Not that there's anything wrong with that). But where are all the tough guys? Rugged dudes with bad ass cars.
Ford is not alone in the retro game by the way for Dodge is unveiling the 1970 replica of the Dodge challenger. The long nose hemi powered beast will soon be on a lot near you.
It just goes to show that for every action; Hybrids-there is a reaction: the rebirth of American fuel burning muscle. It's a happy time ladies and gents, its a happy time.
