\nYeah! Ford has built a 40th anniversary Limited Edition Bullitt<\/em> Mustang based on the car from the Steve McQueen movie! It looks pretty cool, the closest thing to a 60’s muscle car combined with 21st Century technology to ever come out of Detroit. The chief engineer tells how he and his cohorts spent a long time listening to the sounds of the car in the movie and then tuning the exhaust of the new Bullitt<\/em> Mustang to sound just like it! Now that’s my kind of R&D!

\n This movie just keeps on gaining in popularity, I saw part of it recently on TV and it looks super cool, those 60’s colors, Steve McQueen, Mr. CobraHead, looking cool and tough but always under control. And maybe the greatest car chase in the history of Cinema, no wonder it keeps getting under people’s skin. I had the good fortune to work with Peter Yates, the director of Bullitt<\/em> and Pablo Ferro, the title designer. Pablo told me that Steve saw Yates’s The Great Train Robbery<\/em> and hired him for Bullitt<\/em> based on that. Also Pablo did the titles and multi- screen montages for The Thomas Crown Affair<\/em>, McQueen was impressed and insisted Pablo do the title sequence for Bullitt<\/em>.It is SuperCool. Anyway, This movie has become such a cultural icon, the proof is in the pudding, Detroit is listening to the pulse of the car buying\/movie loving public! Tell you what, want to make a good investment? Buy a 2008 Bullitt<\/em> Mustang. Fill the engine with Marvel Mystery Oil, park it in a hermetically sealed garage for 30 years and then take it out and sell it! Better yet buy two, one to drive and one to preserve. Here’s a video of the car in action and a link to an interview with the chief engineer.
