Presented in the Highland Green color (code I) combined with a black leather interior, this replica faithful to the mythical Mustang from the movie starring Steve McQueen was completely restored in 2020. The body, upholstery and running gear are in excellent condition. The on-board instrumentation works perfectly, and there are no faults to report.

The 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback known as “Bullitt”, presented here in the form of a replica, is directly inspired by the model made famous by the eponymous movie starring Steve McQueen. The Fastback Coupe is distinguished by its slender silhouette, plunging hood and sharply angled rear window, characteristic of Mustangs of the late 1960s.

Under the hood, replicas generally use the 4.9-liter small-block V8, which met the specifications of the time or slightly modernized for reliability and performance. The power varies according to the preparation, but it remains true to the spirit of the original model, with generous torque at low rpm and a characteristic sound. The majority of models are equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, offering a direct and mechanical driving experience.

The chassis maintains the front suspension with wishbones and rear suspension with coil springs, complemented by front disc brakes on some modern replicas. The cabin remains minimalist, with a front seat and simple instrumentation, recalling the ergonomics of the original Mustangs.

This Bullitt replica illustrates the enduring appeal of the classic Mustang and its iconic role in American automotive culture. It allows you to regain the style and feel of a legend, while sometimes benefiting from modernized mechanics for daily use.
