The Bullitt option is like the California Special, an option on a Mustang Premium GT. Ford only plans to make so many Blue ones, so many 5 speeds, so many verts. So to call a Bullitt optioned Mustang GT a limited production is in the eye of the buyer. What makes a limited model? The Shelby GT 500 has been made for 2 years is it a limited model or just an option??? I can find several Bullitt option Mustangs in my area but there are no CS's available. Talking to my Salemans who I brought my CS Mustang from at x-plan sayed he would be happy to sale their Bullitt option Mustang to me at x-plan if I wanted it.
So buy the Mustang you want, don't worry about limited options or Special models. Unless you plan to put the car away for 30 years, they are only worth what a buyer will pay and usally it will be alot less than you pay for it.

I live in Canada and only 700 of them are coming this way- THAT is limited.
I don't care about future value- 99.999% of cars lose there value.

I have been looking at both 2007 and 2008 GT/CS and 2007 Shelby GT on ebay almost daily for a long time. What I see is at most times, there is about eight Shelby GT's to every one GT/CS when I do the search. Limited or not, I think it will hold value almost as good as the Shelby GT.

Ive been to all the dealerships in my area in florida many of times since last yr, their are alot of cali's to pick from. ive only seen blue/red/white/black ones tho. Every dealership has shelbys so I dont know. Now that it was brought to my attention I do think cali's are more rare then the shelbys.
Id get the cali for the body kit but I hate the side stripes...id take them off and put the GT badges on the fenders instead. Anyone with a cali take the stripes off ?? I was wondering if the fenders on the cali's have the holes for the fender badges to go into like the GT's do ?

No Fender holes
No holes in the fenders Ms."S"! We know this, because both of the original GT/CS stripes had not been applied right on CalStang. So our great dealership hired an auto graphics guy to come to their shop and install a new set correctly. I was allowed to stand there in the paint shop and watch him do both the removal and the installs. The body looked so very clean with no stripes! Almost hated to have him put the new graphics back on CalStang. But got over that bit of crazyness and now wouldn't have it any other way. Except that you sharp eyed Kats, have now noticed, that we did pull off the little front fender stripes, to clean up the body lines. That change stays for now. And yes, we do have spare front pieces, if we ever want to put it back to stock again! "RC"

I well I am sure there will be thousands of GT/CS Mustangs built from 2007 - 2009. I know just by googling dealers for the last week or so there are hundreds of cars on the lots waiting to be sold. My best guess there may be 7,000 to 8,000 total so far.

for those of us who have an '08, does that add to the potential future collectibility? 08 is the 40th anniversary of the CS/GT...

According to NADA the CS package (on an 07 with 10k miles) is between $1050 and $1175 add up, This was orginanly a $1895 package. not bad for holding value so far concidering what kind of hit a car takes when coming off the lot.
