It's official: Bullitt continues into the 2009 model year, as do the GT500, GT500KR, Warriors in Pink, V6 Appearance, and California Special. This may just upset a few people, while making many others very happy that their favorites will still be a choice from Ford.

The official word came via Ford's 2009 Mustang and GT500 Ordering Guides dated 3/19/08.

 

Are you saying that one can purchase an 09 Bullitt or that the 08 will continue to be produced during 09 production? TIA

 

Great question.... can I still get a 69 boss?

Odds are really good that cars produced in the 09 run will be...........



















09's.

 

Agreed, is the MY09 Bullitt just a continuation of the original 7K allotment for the US? Or, will this mean another allotment quantity?

Would love to have a few more months to save up some additional $$ for down payment and still be able to order one...

 

Wish the Bullitt stayed a 2008 only, but I digress.

 

Probably their sales goals fell short because of the unforseen dent in the economy. With the investment already made, Ford needs to realize better sales of these models.

 

Doesn't even look like they'll even be building all 7700 of the '08 Bullitts at this rate..

 

Can some one post that Order Guide please

 

At least this means that the dealers won't be gouging potential Bullitt buyers. From what I've seen, they are going for less than sticker.

 

I think the production rate, along with pending introduction of the refresh early next year, contributed to the total unit run going into the shorter '09 model year.

 

Maybe someone in my town will finally get one. I've seen 3 GT500's, 2 Black SGT's, 1 PJ Saleen, and still have not seen a Bullitt in person. There are two 2001 Bullitts in town, both green. That's not bad for a town of 50,000.

 

Are there any hints of another SE?

 

Makes me glad I didn't wait and wait and wait for a SE! The GT/CS is nice enough but just cosmetic and the Bullitt isn't much more. I'd been upset had a waited a couple years for a 350hp SE and ended up with this laid at my feet!

 

Good question.

2009 is already a bit of a 'lame duck' Mustang model year with the 2010s coming so quick.

You'd think there would be something new to spark more interest.

 

What...? The Bullitt was supposed to be for 2008 only, this is most weak.

 

I disagree. The Bullitt package is worth the money in addition to good deals presently being offered. It shouldn't make a difference whether 7,700 are built or 20,000 as long as those who like them are able to get one at a good price.

 

Well I guess that sucks for someone wanting a 1 year only production. I guess the Mineral Grey is the only 1 year only car/color in the S197 platform so far!

 

None that I've heard, and I've got a contact within Ford that usually calls me when he hears about Mustang secrets. Of course, my contact's contacts within Ford might be withholding info from him!

More importantly, though, it's looking like 2009 will just be a carryover of 2008 and rather short as the 2010 Mustang is supposed to start production in January 2009.

 

Perhaps the '09 Bullitt will have a 5.4, 6-spd, double vented hood, and factory side window louvers?

I'd bet it would be an emotional and expressive reception by the '08 owners.

 

If it had that I'd be first in line. I'd be all over that Bullitt. In HG off course.
