Future bullitt?
 

Does anyone have any gouge on the possibility of ford making a bullitt model for 2012 or 2013? I saw a video where a guy asked a ford guy about the "next bullitt" and he didn't say there wasn't going to be one. Just curious. Thanks.

It's been discussed over at IMBOC. I don't think we will see another Bullitt until they do a Boss.........someone said 2018 would be the 50th anniv. of the movie (I think).................might be a good time to do one. Just speculation, since the 2008 model was the 40th anniv. of the movie.........who knows.

I highly doubt we'll see another Bullitt until at least sometime after the redesign in 2014.5 for the 50th anniversary. Maybe not at all.

that makes me love mine even more :shower:

yup :nice:

The '08 - '09 Bullitt is as close as the original as it'll get unless one is done within the next couple of years before a new design. A 2018 Bullitt would be just as distant to the '68 as the '01 was.

I predict a final run S197 ('12 '13) Bullitt. It's popular, relativly easy tooling and people love it.

The current '10-'11 design is already too far away from the '05-'09 ideal retro. The Camry inspired tail panel of the '10-'11 has absolutely no historical inspiration outside of Tokyo.

I hope they never do another Bullitt personally.

Remember the 01 guys said that. ;)

But since its leading the poll on the 'best' thread, Ford may at some point in the future. :dunno:

Yea. A 5.0 Bullitt w/420 hp would really suck...:poke:

.

lets hope the '14/15 takes a step back and fixes that.

As I mentioned before the '08 - '09 Bullitt design is likely to be the closest it will ever get to the '68 but, a Bullitt with a 5.0 and perhaps a suspension upgrade such as the one offered on the Roush Stage 2 would be one Bullitt to reckon with.

I would welcome a Bullitt perhaps as a 2013 MY and would definately get one if conceived.

I think that Ford will make another Bullitt if they feel they can make money on it; the logical date would be the 50th anniversary in 2018, and the model would have to be an exact replica of the car in the film; everything else has been done. Just my opinion.

yep and that is why I am getting rid of my 01, we lost our special factor when they made the 08/09.

I don't see it happening. The 05-09 body style really suited the Bullitt. The 10-11 style is much more favorable to the Mach 1. Ford is now doing the Boss and I would think if they were to do another return to yesteryear it would be for a Mach 1. Ford did their tribute, and very well, to Bullitt with the 08-09.

Never say never. Ford has used special editions very effectively at times when Mustang sales level off.
