gawd, I wish they'd build a ragtop version
A nice tribute to the chase scene in the original movie, with Steve McQueen's granddaughter Molly driving the new Bullitt:

Ya make a Vert, and call it a BB or Pellet.
Awesome story about the 1968 hero cars journey to the present

"The car from Bullitt" would suffice...
sorry, it's like the only Mustang technicality that OCD on...
and I know that Laffs knows his shit...but I couldn't let it go regardless lol

If one of the 2 original 1968 Mustang GT 390's utilized as picture cars in the 1968 motion picture "Bullitt" starring Steve McQueen, which popularized the colloquial term "Bullitt Mustang" when referring to a Highland Green 1968 Fastback with exterior trim and torq thrust wheels despite the only officially licensed Bullitt Mustang being limited to 2001, 2008 and now 2019 model year special editions as designed by trademarks of the Ford Motor Company, is on display at NAIAS we're going to need a cleanup in aisle 3...
there...now was that so hard???
although, I would switch out "colloquial" for "incorrect" but other than that...not too bad at all!! :D
Colloquial is correct as it is used in ordinary or familiar conversation and not in the literary sense. Trust me pedantic is my middle name, to use the idiom and not speaking literally.Quote:

either way...I had a good Laffs out of that :)
I guess my whole point here is just that...
BRING BACK THE MACH!!

If you really wanted to, you could easily make your own car into a convertible Bullitt. Why you would do this, I don't know, but you could.
