Well, if that's all there is to it, at least the price shouldn't be outrageous (except for ADMs)...

Don't get me wrong, I love the look of damascene panels, but that's only on hotrods, airplanes and trains. But on the new Bullitt

Hope it doesn't look like this....



Why not a wood dash like the deluxe edition had back in '68.

Hmmm. If there were some updated brakes included in this package I would be on the hook since that is one of the weak areas of the current car. This is of course assuming that the interior tweaks are as nice as they were on the SN95 and that we get the GT/CS's front bumper in the deal...both of which seem likely. Those few items, and the fact that the Bullitt would actually allow me to buy a S197 in a dark color that isn't black, would make it worth the extra ~1,900 bucks for me.

Good Lord, me too! I'm giving the new Bullitt every benefit of a doubt, but that style dash looks terrible to me.

That look like the one I on my '76 & '78 Trans-Ams. It looked very good with dark interiors not on medium or light colors.

Well like the rest of you...from what I have heard I wouldn't pay more than $500 more over a GT for this one.....of course we may be truly shocked and be suprised..I hope this is the case...in a good way.

OK, so everyone remembers the awesome exhaust note of the Mustang in the movie, WHY IN THE WORLD are they using the wimpy STOCK exhaust with just a different tip!?!?
